ya i'd want the front. Once my lip is on, if it was towed from the rear the front would scrape the ground bad. Is it DIY-able? I'm going to have the front bumper off soon anyways.

^ Make sure its a secure mounting location using grade 8 or better bolts (preferrably grade 10). Its expected to pull a 3500lb car.

when doing a build like this, is the upgraded fuel pump necessary? Does our stock pump tend to not be able to handle the extra duty?

Stock pump will hold up just fine. But he's planning on throwing some boost in their, so more fuel will be needed, stock pump will fail in a short time, or just won't keep up

Installed Walbro GSS342HP pump. I also picked up the fuel filter, the gasket, and a new strainer. It was really simple to install and the pump was a direct drop in. I didnt have to do anything with wiring. The new filter from Honda came with the wiring. The install took me about 45 mins. I wasnt able to get pictures because it was getting cold and dark fast. This one is noticeably louder then stock, which doesnt bother me at all.

Sadly though, Im still not getting any fuel pressure. My next step is to try a new FPR, luckily I have one in my "stock"

doing fuel pumps on japenese cars (but they dont really go out though [like 2 weeks ago, did a 93 camry with 291K on it, and the origional pump had just went out) are SO MUCH EASIER then stupid domestics,

hopefully i will need a new pump soon too
