what FPR are you using? how is it hooked up? do you have the vacuum line off of it?

AEM FPR. Return hose coming out of the bottom. Inlet (from filter) on the left side, outlet (to fuel rail) on right side.

No vacuum line. i was told that it wasn't necessary. i dont think i ever got an explanation for that though...

 

Hey guys, I havent been on in a while. though I'd pop in and say hi with a couple pics.

Ya, dont hook it up, you want a constant pressure.. You dont want it to fluctuate. But ya, change the gauge, or blame the pump or a leak

I blame you.

yea sorry i meant the relation of the bar to the centerline of the suspension....the closer the bar is mounted to the centerline the more stiffness it provides..not sure about asr sway bars for an ef...i know they mount it differently</TD></TR></TABLE>





I like how they steered clear of the subframe.

I personally like how EF rear sway bars are set up. The likelyhood of a tear out is mitigated by the fact that the sway bar doesn't touch the subframe!

just ordered this: http://store.summitracing.com/...w=sku


hopefully my summit 60psi guage is just junk....

 

well now, after 24 hours of sitting, i am at 0psi. im thinking there is a problem somewhere other then the guage....any ideas?

 

leak somewhere. maybe injectors?

 

i replaced the injectors with injectors that i got from a friend. he told me that they were 100% fine. im wondering if i might have a hole on top of my gas tank. anyone know if that would cause a loss in fuel pressure?

You lose fuel pressure after sitting for an hour, its just drains back to the tank.

no muffler clearance with that what so ever

nope..thats why they invented the redshift exhaust

 

the CRX broke down on me again today. for the 10th time since i had it i believe. damn y-49 curse. it ended up being the battery wiring being shot (the wiring barely on the connectors). i ordered a new honda positive cable. previous owner had the positive going to the starter and then a seperate cable going from the starter to the fuse box. he covered it in the black plastic thing so i didnt notice it before. i replaced the negative cable with an extra one i had. hopefully no more issues anytime soon.

 

^ Hmmm...that's a pretty good idea with the duct tape on the wheel weights. Had a few fly off on me before

its not supposed to hold pressure while the car sits? it takes at least a couple primes to get it back up to 40-45 psi. another problem is that i need it to be at 50psi....it wont go that high.

you're saying that fuel pressure dropping to zero is normal?

Over a long period of time, yes. Its the whole reason the pump primes when u turn the key.

Theres room for a muffler, just not so much for the piping, lol. Get creative and it would probably work.

this is what i got for now, later this summer im going to switch over to aluminum.
The exhaust is upside down in the picture..

yea the pressure drops gradually over a few hours. It's slow, so you cant sit and watch it(unless you just have absolutely nothing else to do). It should not take a couple primes to get to 38 psi though. as soon as you turn the key it should go to 38psi.

EDIT: Does anyone know where I can find the wiring diagram from the obd0 tower plugs to the obd1? I am converting my engine harness to obd1. I'm sick of this brittle wire crap. Also, is the alternator plug the same from obd0 to obd1?

Alternator is the same, idk if there is pinout. I have a complete obd1 civic harness im making into a one piece harness similar to and ek harness.

 

yea I've got an obd1 civic harness also. I havent started tearing into it to make sure all the wires are ok and to reloom it for the "tuck", but I'm undecided as to if I want to us ea big bulk plug or go cut the plugs out of a civic in a junk yard for this. one big bulk plug would make it all so much easier and cleaner, if I knew where to buy them and the pins etc for them...Ryan...Think you could help me out on that?

Are the wire colors the same for each obd tower plugs? I doubt it...

 

My project is getting somewhere

 

well i got my new guage but i think i have another problem, possibly fuel pump related.

When i turn the key to prime the fuel system, the CEL doesnt light up, and the fuel pump doesnt run. This happened once before, but i jumped the battery and that seemed to solve the problem. Today, i tried the same thing, and it didnt help at all. my battery has 12.51 DCV when the car is off.

Anybody heard of anything like this?

 

all b-series fuel rails are interchangeable correct? Because i found a b18c fuel rail, and i need one asap!
