I heard FPRs, fuel rails, and the gauges aren't legal.

I've heard that some REF's will allow a fuel pressure gauge, as long as theres nothing adjustable with it.

And supposedly FPR's and Fuel Rails are fine as long as they are CARB exempt with an EO#, but I dont know of any that actually are...

the one on my old Jackson Racing setup was. at first it was a "gross polluter" so they adjusted the FPR and it passed after the adjustment.

I don't believe that anybody make a CARB certified fuel rail. The Referee that I went to stated that an aftermarket one is not allowable. (personally, I think this is dumb)

The cheapest solution is to just go to a junk yard and pick up a stock one.

I can understand an adjustable FPG not being allowable.

I'd argue with a Referee about having a fuel pressure gauge. There is no reason that you couldn't justify it as a "trouble shooting" tool.

i think the aem fuel rail is legal... carb exempt...
AEM make mostly everything street legal..
i remember my ref telling me that, he told me as long as your aftermarket part is made for the motor and has a carb legal # or whatever they are called.
also said that legal part doesn't mean it will make it pass smog, everything has to run right to pass the smog.

I'm pretty positive that it is not carb legal. However both the intake and the fuel rail are really easy fixes.

I did a quick search over at:

http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/a...y.php

It's a database of all CARB exempt parts. I searched under all the fuel categories and could not find a fuel rail that was legal for hondas/acuras.
