i bought the car years ago with this thing on my fuel rail. i never noticed it til i went turbo. a friend helped me out and he had the same car and so i pointed out how his was different.

 

Is there anything attached to it underneath?

 

yeah, a banjo style fitting in which the fuel line from the fuel filter is connected to. here is an over all pic so you can see where it is

 

The fuel line doesn't connect on the left side?

That could just be a cap over the bolts. Never seen it before.

 

ill take new pics to show whats under whatever the hell that thing is

 

FBI tracking device.

 

Does this sit on top of the banjo bolt or does it replace it? I can't really see from the pictures. Maybe it's a fuel pressure gauge adapter???

 

JDM or USDM?

 

i think it's the traction control urmm.. 'thingy' on the fuel line that restricts fuel

Now that is a good suggestion. 4th gen JDM h22s always come with the little vacuum diaphragm in line with the FPR vacuum source, which I also assume is for TCS.

 

i'm guessing a Fuel pressure sender, for a gauge. at least that's what it looks like to me

 

Fuel pulse debouncer... almost like a shock dampener to keep the fuel pressure consistent as the injector pulses...

what Gen lude is this?

 

looks like a nitrous kill switch ..For when the fuel pressure is too low

 

its not the jdm tcs "thingy" its smaller and looks a bit different than that. got 1 those in my garage.

that thing is to richen the mixture or osme crap during startup, it has nothing to do with TCS. think about it, how are you going to cut fuel by cutting off vacuum to the fpr and increasing the fuel pressure?

Did the previous owner tell you that he was using nitrous?

Because that's a Hobb's pressure switch that kills the nitrous system when fuel pressure gets below a certain pressure level.

See reference:

 

^^^ bingo!

that's a fuel pressure safety switch. that car probably had nitrous on it at one time or another.

looks just like the switch from my nitrous express kit. cuts nitrous off if fuel pressure is too low.

 

lol i would be upset if i bought a car with that on it. some people are dumb with nitrous

 

its a 5th generation prelude. damn i didnt know it had nitrous. the motor passed all the test tho, compression test, leak down, etc.

You got lucky. Is it still the original motor? Otherwise, he probably didn't use it too often, or used a small shot.

But it's still shitty that he didn't disclose the fact that there was a nitrous kit on the car prior.

 

nitrous is great but yeas peoplke can be dumb but can i say that nitrous is ****** sweet again?

eh. D'OH.

I never really thought about it, just ditched it.

 

nope all wrong. fuel pressure regulator!! ring any bells

 

had that on my old motor, then I didn't really know what it was and never asked, but a few weeks later, I was cleaning my car out and found 1/4 mile slips under my drivers seat, and turns out they were mid-13's on this "I thought stock" motor. It could be, it couldn't be. Try contacting the guy and see if he had nitrous on it, if not, call honda

That's definitely not a fuel pressure regulator! It's more like a pressure switch.
