Re: em1 loud humming
Plus, a Walbro isn't a very high quality pump compared to stock, but what do you want for $79 or how ever much they cost?

Yes. A fuel pump is not a performance mod and will give exactly zero benefit until you are making more power than the stock fuel pump can flow. I have no idea why so many Honda people start upgrading fuel system components (pump, fuel rail, etc) on near-stock engines. I guess people like to create un-necessary problems for themselves...

Yep, that's a Walbro whine for sure. And as said above, you only need more fuel if you're your injectors are not tapped out, but you are still running lean. Since you're stock this means you are gaining nothing. And mostly likely your are probably losing power. Walbro flow a lot more than stock, you're probably over running your fuel pressure regulator and the low end fuel pressure is probably through the roof. This will cause more fuel to come out of the injectors pure pulse.
Also why it might be whining so loud.
