This is what I have: Walbro 255 fuel pump, zex spark plugs, klze, zex wet kit (75), adjustable FPR, and Eprom ecu chip. I am sure the fuel filter is the original from 140k miles ago, so I'm changing that bad boy. Anyone know of a high flow filter or should I just get one from auto zone?

Stock filter should be fine. I would try to stay away from cheap brands such as fram. Wix or OE filter is what I would reccomend.

I think it was Jeff Abrams (not sure though) that recommended using a fuel filter from a 3rd generation RX-7. Since it's for a turbo motor, it's supposed to flow better. I put it on and it fits just fine in the bracket, only thing is that the exit makes kind of a u-turn, but I'd still consider it a complete bolt-on.

Not yet, but I am definitely going to try it. I'll let you know when I do. It will be this weekend.

I'm not so sure if the RX-7 fuel filter is really a higher flow... sure it's turbo and revs high, but it's only a 1.3 (or 1.5?) liter engine...
