The Porsche 911 Twin Turbo and Toyota Supra Twin Turbo both have 'em. Yes, they both have turbos. They also have bulletproof fuel pumps. Obviously, each of these cars make 2-3 times more power than your Honda. Now, both the 911 and Supra can belt out 400 hp without any type of fuel system modification. The in-tank pumps that come from the factory on most Hondas are designed for all-motor use, whereas the pumps on the 911 and Supra are obviously built and sized for their turbocharged state. The armatures and commutators inside the pump are larger, lending to this improved reliability. Think of a Honda fuel pump as a one of those tiny motors inside your Oral-B electric toothbrush. Well, a Supra or 911 fuel pump would be comparable to the winch on your pop's Jeep. Fuel pumps hibernating in the tanks of many 911s are made by Bosch, while the Supra's pump is made by Denso (formerly known as Nippon Denso). These OEM pumps are very reliable. More importantly, they sustain fuel pressure reliably when the boost is turned up.
Mine drives just dandy desmogged. 3-2-1 header, rebuilt carb (by me), non-recurved dizzy. Way nicer engine compartment. Would probably run even better if I had JimC rebuild my carb and recurve the distributor. As is, it runs fine enough for me following JimC's desmog schematics.
