Ok, well I am just finishing up my swap, waiting for the last few parts. But I need to know how you guys are clearing the stock fuel filter and hard line!!!?? I will replace it as soon as possible but right now I am going to have to leave it stock, so how do I get my damn intake piping to clear it??? Is there any way to do it cleanly, WITHOUT "massaging" the rubber coupler to fit the intake? Lets see some pics of how you guys have done this!!!! PLEASE!

Mine for right now is just sitting there unbolted (which I don't like very much) but I plan on getting one from a 99-00 Si or getting an inline fuel filter to clean up the engine bay a little bit.

 

you could just take some sheet metal and make an drill holes in it to make a ghetto adapter plate. and you can bend the hard fuel lines if you are very careful.

(thats what I did)

 

just relocate it down a little lower is all I do, just don't kink that **** and its all good! Or do like poison said just get an inline!!

 

poison: How did you run an inline fuel filter with your stock hard lines? Got any pics?

 

I move the line fuel a little bit and raise the fuel filter. Redrill and you will be fine

 

take out the butterflies in the intake mani

Take them out? What if you just run with them open?

Is there any benefits to taking them out?

 

ttt

 

alright guys lets see some pics of how you guys have all gotten around this! I am going to upgrade my entire fuel system soon but I need to get this thing running so I can get the engine broken in! Help me out: PICTURES!

 

take out the butterlies completely, just unbolt the 12mm 5 if them i think and then get shorter bolts to fit in there place, u should clear i did. Benefits a little on top end lose a little down low. whats the diff ur going to put them back in later whe you relocate

 

if u take out the butterflies u will have a vacuum leek

 

No, not if you do it right. I have removed mine, but I left the stacker plate in between the upper and lower part of the manifold.

... The question remains. How do I clear the stock fuel filter, I want to see some PICTURES of h22 in eg civic with stock fuel filter. Lets see 'em.

 

Come on guys, I gotta have this done by Sunday so is there any trick to clearing this damn fuel filter, or do I just get ghetto and bend the hard line and leave the fuel filter unbolted?

I will be getting rid of this ghetto stock fuel filter soon, but I gotta do this for now, how did all you mo'fu#*ers do it?

 

Use a GSR fuel filter

 

Sorry bout that. Haven't seen this thread in a lil while

I don't currently have pictures of it. But autozone has inline fuel filters that you can put in.

I would stick with oem like myself and obtain a 99-00 Si fuel filter.

[edit] also another thing you can do to clean up the engine bay and have it properly mounted is to relocate the battery to the back of the hatch.

$40 bucks from Summit for relocation

I just moved the fuel filter over about 2 inches, and cut the hard line, flared it and clamped a piece of fuel injection hose between it. Works great! I just finally started it last night, after battling my no oil pressure problem and it fired right up!!

 

Sorrry to lose focus. But has anyone used the Summit racing battery relocation kit. I am thinking of doing something similar and wanted to know what is a good brand to go with. Especially since I am running out of space to put my MSD Digital 6. And that spot looks to be purrfect!!
