GSR swap into CRX, fuel lines in the way of intake.
 

Any suggestions on how to go around the fuel lines from the filter? They are right infront of the throttle body.

I'm afraid of bending and breaking them.

get flexible fuel lines.

Relocte your filter either up or down, or twist it, Or if you have no AC lines, move it over towards the passenger side more.
There are also a lot of topics on alternative fuel lines in this forum if you search it.

Have you EVER looked under the hood of a car in your miserable little life?

Re: GSR swap into CRX, fuel lines in the way of intake. (SIred91)
 

i am so confused about this whole thing Ldo get a fkn pic in here of your engine bay to calm everyone down.

Re: GSR swap into CRX, fuel lines in the way of intake.
 

Seriously, I don't know what all the shouting and head banging is all about. If you have seen or worked with on the fuel lines coming out of the filter, you will see what I'm talking about. Yes, the lines themselves are flexible, but where they are attached to the filter and the firewall, they are solid metal connectors.

Unlike on other B series motors, the GSR's dual runner intake positions the throttle body down and closer to the firewall. On an EF, it happens to be near the fuel filter. I'll probably take some pics, but I thougtht it was a simple questtion.

dohczccrx: have you ever seen the fuel lines out of the filter in the engine bay?

I have a GSR swap and the lines are close but i didnt have to move anything, but It might be dependent on what kind of mounts you use. I have hasport mounts (newer version).

or another option is to get an aftermarket IM like the SK2 manifold

and Dochzccrx is okay to be wrong, we're all human.

Can you bend them, I have seen someone bend fuel lines, but they put a special sleeve over it first, to prevent kinks, so you get a nice even bend with no restriction

They rent a tool at vAutozone for this too....I forget what its called....

I have a way to solve this whole mess. take the filter off and remove the bracket the filter attaches to. Flip the bracket upside down and bolt it back on(the holes still line up) then bolt the filter back on(all lines reach fine) you filter is now up near the hood out of the way. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif I did not think of this, username JADKAR showed me works great https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif Also when you take the rubber line off the hardline coming through the firewall cut the bracket off and when you scew it back on the hardline and its tight you can then bend the hardline so your tps doesnt hit it and this gives you more clearance as well

That's a great idea Jimmy. Thanks for sharing the idea shared with you by JADKAR! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Exactly what I was looking for great fix. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif My JRSC CRX had the fuel hose issue for a while finally a fix. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

yeah thats what Im using it for as well(JRSC), but since the jrsc puts the tb in gsr position it works for that as well

I just did this fuel filter fix and ran into one problem. I have a fuel pressure gauge on my fuel filter. So, the hood could not be closed. As, the fuel pressure gauge was hitting it. My solution was just tilt the fuel filter at an angle. and use only one bolt on one side and used a heavy duty tie wrap to hold the other end. I will probably mock up a bracket to hold the other end.

I know this post is old now but....


1- Thanks for the props :) Nice to see my photos are still floating around.
2- I had the same problem with my fuel pressure gauge and what I ended up doing was moving it to my fuel rail. I think it looks cleaner there anyway (imo)

I know it's an old thread, but will it hurt anything not having the support bracket on?

yes
