Need help....fuel pump
Howdy, first post on the site. I have a honda city turbo as most of you have and last week my fuel pump failed on me. I need to grab another one but i dont think you can just pick one up from a scrapyard somewhere. Isit possible to find a fuel pump for a city turbo these days. Should it be specifically for the city turbo? Or can it be a high performance HONDA fuel pump? if that makes sense. please reply, if you know where i can get one then please get back to me ASAP. I live in Perth, Western Australia, Australia.

I've been reading the forums and I beleive that my city is the T1 if that helps. cause i dunno if theres a difference between the T1 and T2 fuel pumps. And another thing. Is the car supposed to run on gas? I'v bin filling mine with unleaded with valve master but it says gas on the petrol cap.....hell psyched out. get back to me

You just need any external fuel pump, you will need to make a bracket to make that fit but it will be very easy, you may also be able to modify the existing bracket.
Many other hondas came out with exactly the same fuel pump, some preludes and some civics. If you go to a honda wreckers and go "can I have one of those external EFI fuel pumps that came on those mid 80's hondas, they should know what you are talking about, my last one cost me $20

i went out and bought a new fuel pump($230) after about 2½ hours of removing the last one. got home. installed it. only for it to not work. after cursing and not knowing what to do we checked the fuel line that comes straight into the engine. whatever it is called. opened it up and placed a bottle in there. tried starting the car only to find that no fuel was coming out still. we grabbed the old fuel pump and touched the terminal leads onto the appropriate charges on teh battery. to see that the old one was still functioning. this made us realise that the pump itself was not getting power. we traced the positive cable to just under the dash infront of the passenger seat and realised that it had been disconnected, but not visibly( not that stupid....) connected this wire and hey presto. one working honda city thrash machine. thats my story. read my post in general discussion about my turbo wastegate controller....need help.
