Fuel Pump Replacement Honda Element | Turbo Toaster Part 8: Upgraded Fuel Pump

In this video, I will show you how to remove and replace a fuel pump on a Honda Element. The specific model I am working on is a 2004 Element, but this process is the same for essentially all Elements. We need to upgrade the pump on the turbo toaster because with more air comes more fuel demand. To increase the capacity of the fuel system and to be sure that we don't exceed our fueling limits, I will be installing a 255lph fuel pump. This should be more than enough to achieve our power goals while running 10 psi.

I can smell it from here.

Haha yep, the smell seems to linger for a couple days too....im fine with the smell of gas so I guess it could be worse.

My pump is still good. How long do they last? I have 150thousnd miles on mine and almost want to replace it before it goes out?

[@TheMileHighMechanic]

@@vdittycc It really depends on the pump and when it decides to fatigue, but Honda build stuff usually lasts a while, so I'd give you at least another 50k miles 🤷

Hello friend 👋... I have a 05 element morning start is ruff for like 4 seconds.. i replaced new spark plugs and coils and fuel injectors and throddle body plus new battery.. only thing im waiting on a hopeing could be my issue is the fuel pump.. what symtoms did you get before replacement?? My element have 200k Miles..

[@TheMileHighMechanic]

My fuel pump was actually completely fine when I replaced it, I was putting a turbo on it, so I needed a higher flowing pump. However the general rule of thumb with the fuel pump is that I you can hear it prime when you turn the key, then it is working. If you cannot hear it prime then it is dead...if it is an intermittent problem it is likely not the fuel pump...also if it starts and runs, it is not the fuel pump.

So I have a 05 element 4at and at around 70 mph I’ll buck n I’ll loose power and a couple seconds later it’ll come back I was thinking injectors or pump but I’m not sure I put a new engine with about 85k in it

[@zoozooyt1842]

It also bucks when accelerating hard and I don’t normally go past 4.5k rpm but the shifts feels smooth

@@zoozooyt1842 Does it idle at 700rpm?
