Still haven't done the swap yet...still waiting for parts. Anyhow, there is something missing on the fuel rail on the engine, B18C1. I could tell because there's any empty hole there w/threads. I know it's plastic and off white. Could someone tell me what it is so I can buy it before that stops or slows down the completion of this swap.

TIA!!

 

That is basically a pressure 'shock absorber' Kinda like the things they install on the plumbing in houses to keep the pipes from knocking when you turn on a faucet. My understanding of its function is that it smoothes out the pressure pulses from the injectors opening and closing which helps the fuel pump. Is it really necessary? I don't know. I have seen cars without them and I haven't heard anything negative about that but then again Honda doesn't do anything without a good reason and I trust their judgement.

Make sure you have a fiel line coming off the fuel rail. My motor from HMOL didnt come w/ one and that is were the line hooks up tothe rail. If not, your stock line should work, just take it off your old motor.
