SHouldnt the regulator be connected to the other side of the fuel rail??? and the side you have it connected go to the fuel filter?

rOby

its reversible as long as the feed n returns go along w/ the way he has it

GZERO

nice to see accord people around here

accordfreak

thanks for your comments. yeah accords are the other way around... my stock fuel filter is on the driver side..

now a question i forgot to post earlier....
my RC 550cc injectors doesn't fit into the AEM rail... i even tried putting on the stock ones but they seem to not budge into the rail.. i tried to screw it down with the rail and injectors in place but the O-rings ended up ripping (stock injectors). i took off the orings on the stock injectors and of course it fits fine... so...

Do I need new o-rings?? or do i have to bored out the aem fuel rail holes ????

btw the RC injectors fit fine on the stock fuel rail.....

LiLOtaku

do the paxton fpr's come with the guage? and is that a liquid filled type guage? looks good mang .

rOby

you'd probably need to get the holes on the rails machined or drilled out to fit the top of the injectors..any machine shop cn do it or u can too.

Had the same problem with my RC 550's and AEM rail. Just use some lube of somesort and lightly apply it to the o-rings. It was a tight fit but it worked.

Good luck.

Those RC's should fit fine in the AEM rail with stock orings. Make sure you put a little motor oil on them before putting them into the rail. Makes them go in a lot easier.

yeah they always fit tight, a little bit of vasaline or somthing of the sort works wonders. Just lube the rings up nice, and twist em in, being careful to put them in straight...

It's supposed to be tight!

accordfreak

thanks for your help guys.. i'll try putting oil on them and see how that works

LiLOtaku- thanks! yes it is a liquid filled gauge..and it was bought seperately. i've heard on a few occasions here that non liquid filled break due to the vibration...

poid

Just wondering, is the new fuel rail really needed or is the stock one good enough?

Also what kind of fuel pump are you using dude?

Nice setup BTW

accordfreak

thanks i've read here that stock one is good enough up to 350 hp? somewhere around there... but i decided to get the AEM rail because some guy was selling it for 50 dollars.. it's also easier for me to get the correct fittings and such.. plus it looks nice heheh

i'm going to be using the walbro 255lph pump

poid

damn quick reply!!

Thanks for that, in that case the stock one will do me fine. The walbro pumps can be had for reasonably cheap comparatively i think, been looking at Bosch pumps so far and they seem to be a bit more.

When you get that thing tuned and running be sure to post up some numbers, i'm always interested to see what accords can do
