Installing fpr and fuel rail...advice

[smeister]

Okay I am going to install it today using the directions from c-speed racing.com at this link http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/f.../fuelrail.html

Is there anything I need to look out for besides catching the extra fuel? Opening the gas cap is the only thing I have to do to relieve fuel pressure? I am a noob...help! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wrap a towel around the connection between the rail and the hose from the filter. Gas will only spray when you first crack the bolt open. After that it will just drip.

It's not too bad.

.....didnt read CSPEED's site, but removing the gas cap might help keep the spray down. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Max Psi GSR - You know you read it...thats why you knew about opening the gas cap [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I opened the fuel rail and it has four of those 0-rings for the injectors. I should be okay then right? I dont want to have to run out to the honda dealer and crap. Thanks

Careful with those O-rings...they're fragile.

When I changed mine, a couple were torn just a little. I replaced them all.

My friend told me to use teflon tape on all the bolts on the AEM fuel rail because the aluminum is crap and it will leak without the teflon tape. Can someone calrify this for me? Thank you!

I think i passed on the teflon.....i used red loctite however to hold the bolts. It did come lose on me one time, thats why i have that loctite now. 4 years and still holding strong.

CSPEED has pretty detailed instructions, i shoulda known that "gas cap removal" theyd cover [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I have a fuel leak now. I am using the AEM fuel rail and it is the extra hole next to where the fpr mounts. I plugged it up with the provided screw and forgot to put the teflon liquid stuff on it. So it leaked and I removed it and put the teflon liquid stuff back on it and it now mixes and smears and still leaks. I dryed it and I am waiting on it to DRY and then I will try again. Anything else I could do to stop this leak? HELP CROM isn't helping much!

I'm not helping eh?

[smeister]

I fixed it! Well after drying it out with cotton swabs and letting it dry for an hour or so I went back and got the leak to stop. I hope it stays that way.

By the way CROM, thanks for listening to my cries and trying to stop me in my spontaneous modding muahahhaha
