A regular filter from your local parts store is anywhere from 25 to 40 microns. Any inline filter in that range will do you just fine. The one you linked will be sufficient.

Most of the filters for EFI have a maximum PSI listed. This filter doesn't and lists 160 GPH @ 7 PSI. No max PSI listed.

Since the filter is directly downstream of the fuel pump, it feels the full pressure. (80 PSI in the Walbro 255 LPH we're running) Regulation of course is on the return side of the rail.

We're in the same mode (fuel delivery) is why I am interested in this. Lots of the in-line filters listed are max'd at 60-65 PSI. Is this an issue? (Hope I didn't thread jack with this question)

Fuel Lab, Aeromotive are good choices I have run both on my 2jz and many of the RB's.

This is the exact one...

Its actually pretty big being 3" is the filter length but the total case length is about 5" its fairly large diameter wise so the only place I could fit it under the car is directly under the back seat where the underside curves up. Bolted/sealed through the floor pan under the seat and used P-clamps in the same spot to hold the lines tight against the body.
