I need a new fuel pump for my KA. I'm wondering if this WALBRO 255 LPH will fit on my KA? The ebay add says its for an SR20DET .

A fuel pump is a fuel pump is a fuel pump.

Any pump for a fuel injected car will work on any fuel injected car
Any pump for a carbureted car will work on any carbureted car

Yes, you can get the Walbro, yes, it will fit right into place, yes you'll be all set for if you ever go turbo/SR/etc...

while technically true, you should make sure you get something with similar specs. for a example there are differences between a 'high pressure' fuel pump and a 'high volume' one (will your fuel system handle extra pressure or flow?). If it doesn't have enough flow will it starve your motor of fuel and cause a lean condition and a spectacular engine failure? :)

Also trying to adapt one from a different car to physically fit in your fuel tank would be a pain.

That being said the the walbro has been used by many and is a good choice.
