Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me out here. I recently installed a victor x IM on my b18c1, and it necessitated (due to space constraints) the install of my B&M fpr, and I am almost ready to start up my freshly built, 0 miles, sleeved and bored b18c1. I am worried about washing the rings out due to the fact that I am unable to set the pressure until the car is running. What can I/do I do in this situation???

Also, I was thinking of installing my 255LPH Walbro pump since it would be easiest now because the tank is empty (I drained it due to the gas being a year old). Can I do this? I assume it would create the same problem as above. How would I get both to a good fuel pressure for start-up?

Someone please help me out here, I dont want to mess up my fresh block. TIA!!!

 

pretty sure u'll be fine on initial start up. just set it while ur warming it up

 

Hmm well what if its WAY too high??? I dont want to wash the rings out instantly.

 

Sent you an email to the effect...

Turn the car to the "ON" position a couple of times and let the fuel pump prime too. It will put pressure in the system and if you have a gauge on your fuel filter will give you a reading. Do this once or twice if there is no fuel in your lines currently and this will give you a basic reading to go from.
