well i know this is the wrong place to post this but i didnt get any replies after keeping a thread in the classifieds,

i was wondering if there is a place where i can get a D16a6 Fuel rail nut and washer, its the last thing i need for my mpfi swap -- is there a website? or can i get it from honda? or does soemone have one i can buy off them thru paypal? thanks.

 

are you talking about the pulse damper thing that is on the end of the rail?

if so i have an extra one-pm me.

 

Uhm it screws the line onto the end of the fuel rail, it holds the fuel line on

 

 

yeah, that piece.

 

Isn't there a plastic cap or covering on that end piece? If so, do you need it?

 

yea its a big *** nut, and then a round plastic thing on the left side, and ya i also need the washer too

 

go to a junkyard and pull one off a crx or a 4door lx or something like that I am sure the newer ones 92-95 will work too but not 100 percent sure you should be able to find one

hahah......I was just asking a general question as to whether the plastic piece is an actual vital part that is needed. For example, if you don't have it will it be ok to run the car?

 

i honestly have no idea

 

Looks like it is there to protect what is inside..


Inside the "nut" is a spring-loaded valve which is activated by fuel pressure.

Hmm, the plastic thing was always said to be a dampener of some sorts.

 

Do these things change by year? or can they be used between most hondas? i know you cant because i took one off my friends mpfi swap and it didnt fit on my d16a6 mpfi swap... so eh i still need one for a d16a6

the whole assembly is a pulse dampener. it's purpose is to make the flow as even/smootha s possible since the fule pump doesn't have the most perfect flow.

I realize that, but there are no test to prove what it really is there for and Honda has never once said it, it could be there just to protect that spring. What is the purpose of the spring though ?

 

Alright so does anyone have any extra one for a d16a6 so i can finish my swap? i need the washer too -- paypal rdy.
