b18a with BLOX
those that know specifically...
there are a couple things i am looking to know...
~why the b18a fuel rail won't meet up with the injectors properly?
~what do i have to do to make this fit up to the head properly
i was thinking that a different fuel rail from a different b series would work?

Re: b18a with BLOX (rewerbcrx)
I have a BLOX intake manifold on my B18A.
- The fuel rail fit fine for me, I didn't need to mod anything there.
- However the FPR hose does sort of interfere with the last runner on the intake manifold, so I took a dremel and made a little more space for it so that I could put the hose back on. It doesn't take much.
- I ended up having to eliminate a couple of the smaller coolant lines (throttle body, IACV, etc) and just kept the major, big ones. Lke the upper and lower raditor hose, for example.
For some reason, when I had the smaller lines hooked up it was sucking in coolant through the manifold. I removed the intake mani, triple checked my lines (compared it to an Integra) and reinstalled it three times but no luck. So I just capped off the nipples and it immediately stopped puffing out coolant steam lol
If you live in a real cold region, I have heard that you don't want to cap off the IACV, that it would need warm coolant flowing through it. I have had the manifold for a year and have had no problems with the IACV being left out and looped with a single hose.

Re: b18a with BLOX (CRX_1.8T)
I have heard of people needing to mod the manifold to fit the injectors though... I am not sure why I didn't need to. It must be a hit or miss thing I guess.
