hey all,

i just got a command flo modifier for my 98 Civic EX. upon reading the directions, it says that i have to hacksaw off a 1/4" of my fuel pressure regulator? is this right? does anybody have experience with this install and can shed some light on this?

thanks

 

yup, you can read.

Use a Dremel with the cutting wheel attachment.
The stock spring will pop out. You then insert the
new spring from the kit. Real easy.
Oh, when you cut off the top, be sure to
sand/grind the burrs that sometimes are left over,
this makes for a super clean install.

 

As usual, I'm ready to jump into the fray with crappy pictures...

dude, you rock!

those pictures are the best! i don't have a dremel, but i'll just use dad's hacksaw. but i guess i also need to get the fuel pressure gauge...

 

awesome....I just bought a B&M FPR today too and I was looking for a clearer picture then the one on the instruction sheet

one more thing....what is the proper fuel pressure relief procedure for a 97 integra?

 

I might be buying an AEM adjustable fuel pressure regulator, I have heard that stock pressure is 34 psi, but when dropped to 32 psi more power was produced. This would make sence since waste gases are sent out. No waste then no removed power.

Anyway this was seen on a dyno, and you still need fuel regulator to change this. I was just pointing it out.

Also, what is a good fuel pressure gauge that will give an accurate reading? Thanks.

 

Dammit, I was hoping to install one with it in the engine bay.
