Some people believe that the More Fuel you Waste the better the performance.
Maybe these people Ran a Car and that didn't get good fuel flow and lost a race, Who knows...
I know what works and the Stock 240cc and Fuel rail is sufficient for NA applications.
Now if you're running some crazy Compression 12.5+ then you might want to think about stepping up. Engine can only burn as much fuel as the AIR intake can make a good mixture with. Otherwise you're running too rich and basically dumping fuel out the exhaust.. I call it WASTE
I FIRMLY Believe in Effeincy and Not overkill. A fuel Rail and Larger cc injectors are really made for FI applications and HIGH COMPRESSION NA engines.
Advise... Keep the Stock Rails and injectors
Think about it....the TYPE R uses the SAME 240cc Injectors found in SOHC Civics
Get a FPR and a Air Fuel Meter and Tune that thing

I like running rich for a few reasons. 1. It helps the oil squirters cool the pistons 2. it will help keep me from melting a piston in a road race and 3. I always wanted a smoke screen like on spyhunter.
The stuff can run on stock injectors, but they sure dont like running at 90% plus duty cycle.
I agree with you in this situation though, he only needs a FPR, although you cant really TUNE with that thing, fuel pressure at WOT is constant. I recommend a V-afc or a fields unit for tuning.

Re: Best combo of fuel regulator and fuel rail. (slowerthanu)
my fpr is AEM and the rail is DC
I got the DC rail because it is light and it looked better then my 1st gen b16 rail
I got the AEM because I did not want to cut the stock one and I wanted it to be bolt on not universal. I have never had a problem with the AEM fpr .

Re: Best combo of fuel regulator and fuel rail. (rolow)
The guy doing the LS-VTEC said after a couple of bolt-ons you will need to upgrade your fuel management. I want to get a skunk2 manifold which means more air is coming in which means more fuel........so do u guys think i will need a fuel regulator and fuel rail after a couple of bolt-ons?

Re: Best combo of fuel regulator and fuel rail. (Lookincrazy)
I would reccomend a fuel pressure regulator and gauge, but don't think you need a fuel rail, it's just not necessary, I would save your money for another upgrade. If you want to play with the fuel even more, pick up a VAFC and fine tune your fuel map.
