does anyone make one that will fit the stock fuel rail? AEM?
or does one for another honda fit?

thanks guys.

Yes.

Use the Vortech FPR (can be had from their site) and use the pressure regulator from an 88-89 Accord. Straight stock bolt on.

okay so you're saying that the FPR is like 2 pieces?

cause i was out there looking at it and if that stupid little thing with the vacuum hose coming out of it comes off, then the vortech one goes on there then?

if you are running boast....i would get the b16,b18 intake and get the b-series fuel rail.

any other honda FPR will fit.... just go on ebay, they work perfect... unless you want to say you have a "badass" FPR....

So here's my question...If the stock psi is at 38(?) What would a better setting be? And is it better to get a FPR with a gauge on it and if so, does anyone know of one?

stock FPR is just fine, changing to an adjustable one is not gonna get you any more power. Thats why i rock the stock one, even on my AEBS intake manifold on the turbo A20

yeah true, its the injectors, and other crap you need to change.... you will always end up running bout 38-45 psi or somewhere around there.....

damn i didn't know you could use the stock one even when boosted...i guess i gotta find a underhood fuel press. gauge...any ideas where to get one guys?

yeah its a 1:1 ratio FPR so it raises your fuel pressure with boost. I would highly reccomend not using any kind of FMU as a fuel managemant device with boost though (like the Vortech one) it just wayyyy too halfass, seen alot of guys blow engines with them

B&M makes one you can get from summit. i've got one mounted on top of my fuel filter.

yeah i've heard you talking about that before, i was gonna run a SAFC like you did, basically i'm shooting for a setup like yours was. is it hard to tune the fuel with that thing though??

Strugglebucket: thanks for that tip man i'm gonna go order one now.

okay i just ordered the b&m fuel pressure gauge from summit.

it comes with an adapter (bolt on the left) designed to fit; Acura Integra 1990-2000, Honda Civic/CRX 1988-2000.

the bolt looks like it will work on my fuel filter so i think i'm good.

its not too bad but there are better things. It does work fine but you just dont have the adjustability and control as say, a chipped obd1 ecu or some kind of standalone. Its just a trade off

good deal, i'm just not trying to blow up my motor trying to tune it, i'm hoping the SAFC is idiot-proof or something...

as for the fuel pressure...38-45?? or is there a more specific number than just that range?

installed the fuel pressure gauge yesterday, fit perfectly. pressure's at 40-45 consistently so i think i'm good. it only cost me $40 and took 10 minutes to put in, IMO 100% worth it, an underhood gauge just looks cool besides being functional.
