civic cx fuel pump vs type R
well my cx fuel pump is starting to fail on me. sometimes it starts sometimes it doesnt. Im not sure if its a fuel pump problem, or maybe a ground or something but I believe its the original fuel pump so its like 12 years old. So I have someone offering me a typeR fuel pump since he went with a walbro. I have a b18c swap so Im just wondering if I should buy that pump from him or get a stock pump or a gsr pump. What do you guys say? how much should I offer him for the pump?
also a performance question: I have intake, header, hi flo cat, cat back exh. port and polished head and aftermarket clutch and flywheel. Im trying to figure out whats next. friends tell me I need a fuel pressure regulator, others say a chip, some people tell me vafc. Im not sure, what do you guys think?
oh, hi comp piston arent a good idea right now cause Im undecided on possibly going turbo.
Thanks!!!

I would check the main relay under the drivers side of the dash, Honda's are notoriuos for them going bad. Usually it wont want to start in hot weather. When it wont start, listen for the fuel pump running. If it's not, you might want to start there,

that sounds like it must be it. cause thats exactly what I noticed, I wouldnt hear it so I would just keep turning the key off and on until I hear it start.
So how do I check/fix/replace the relay?
thanks!!
ps I like the pic on your sig

Re: civic cx fuel pump vs type R
the only way to really check the relay is to see if you have power at the fuel pump connector, the relay itself is located under the dash above the gas/brake pedal. It's most likely grey and roughly 1.5 in x 1 in.
Thanks for the compliment on the sig
