Default B&M Fuel Pressure gauge on Stock rail?

Is it possible to put on the B&M FPG on the stock fuel rail on a 94 lude Vtec? Does it fit right on the service port with no other modifications?

Thanks in advance...

You can put the guage on the fuel filter. I put one on my 93 vtec lude. With all the hardware B&M provides in the kit you can put the guage on the fuel filter, it replaces the Banjo bolt the hold down the fuel line headed to the fuel rail.

You can't put the guage on the fuel rail service port because the fitting will not work, you would have to look for fittings that might work. Your best bet is to put it at the fuel filter, Its just like the civic's and integra's, Also the guage will get less vibration from the engine.

ask if you have any questions

What about mounting one on a JRSC '01 Prelude SH? The fuel filter is inaccessable in the 5th gen Preludes and mounting a fuel gauge on the filter would not be visable or useful. What can I use for an underhood fuel pressure gauge on a 5th gen Prelude and where can I mount it?

god damn. isnt there any easy way without driling ****? Preludes are so much harder to work on than B series. If this was my Integra Id have it installed in 10 mins.

The inline gauge sounds like a good alternative.

you say the first gauge you put on the fuel filter? Is the 5th gen prelude fuel filter in the same location as yours? I dont think you could put a gauge on the 5th gen filter bc it is out of sight and nearly inaccessable.

I ended up placing the B&M FPG on the fuel filter as it is easily accessable on the 4th gen vtecs. I have heard that the filter is much lower on the 5th gens...
