Walbro 255 and you can get them for around 100 bucks, you can get fd Walbro kits on ebay for like 80-90, but they are close to a"drop in" replacement I've heard. Never done it myself though. I'm sure if you search there are numerous threads comparing fuel pumps though. I know at one point and time I even went to a website that compared the main aftermarket fuel pumps for the fd, but I can't remember its address.

No fuel pump upgrade is needed with 12lb boost.
You can go with a stock pump up to 350HP.
My car is 2000 FD.
14lb boost pressure and RE-A exhaust system give me 350HP.
Stock Pump.
Your car is 2001, it's OK.
But very slight mod is required.
PM me for details

I like the nippon fuel pump which is basically the Supra TT pump. Its a bit more expensive but this is also supposed to be quieter then the walbro and handles up to 500HP.

Do you have to drop the tank to replace the pump?
Or is there an access panel in the trunk?

Thanks

I hope you don't mean the standard RX choice b
BOHICA

I'm glad that they put an access panel there, most everything else you can't get there from here.
