Oh, and in that one you can see the bov, and how its set up.

Please tell me if thats right also, haha.

Thanks!

um the fuel line looks to be wrong, is the afpr after the stock fpr is so then you are right in the way it is hooked up if not then you are clamping your feed line and this is not good. dunno with the bov looks good to me.

Fireindc 01-29-2007 08:34 PM

Thats the thing, i have no idea if its before or after the stock one, as i dont know what the stock one is. i pretty much just hooked it up to the rails, is the stock fpr after or before the rails?

Fireindc 01-29-2007 08:36 PM

ahh fuck, im afraid to drive it if i have it wrong haha... Hopefully someone can help me out.

juhanis 01-29-2007 08:44 PM

i was kind of in your shoes a couple of weeks ago. good luck with it.

magnamx-5 01-29-2007 08:47 PM

ok calm down dude, breath in ---------out ok now you have a fuel rail and towards the rear of the rail where the vacuum line attaches is the stock fpr the line running from this is what should go into the afpr. Wiggle this line or trace it other wise and report back and above all this is very important breath you gotta calm down dude this is totally simple but you need to be calm enough to listen to us. we are here to help.

Fireindc 01-29-2007 09:40 PM

lol, thanks i was kind if freaking out.


I just would kill myself if i were to blow my engine now, boost is way too much fun.

...checking now

For set-up pictures you can always check out the vBGarage for underhood pics. That's what I do for a quick visual confirmation.

I think Mag-5 has you covered. Do what he says, lol. Theres a pic here too:

no, reverse the lines on the fmu. from the fuel rail to the FMU offset, from the center fitting back to the return hard line.

remove the vacuum plug on your bov too.

Fireindc 01-29-2007 10:31 PM

you FUCKING ROCK.


Thanks, im going to do all that.

UofACATS 01-30-2007 01:43 AM

That's about as helpful as you can get :bigtu:

Dang 13 hour days, I coulda been all over that answer.

Fireindc 01-30-2007 02:57 PM

Shes running amazingly, im really impressed.

I honestly didnt expect that kind of power at 5psi, im hanging right with my friends civic hatch w/ a prelude swap (H22A1), my friends eclipse gsx, and i smoked a few domestics.

Few quick questions still.

1. The bov still sounds kind of... i wouldent call it a turkey at all anymore. You can hear air escaping kind of high pitch like, about 4 times. Like chh chh chh chh. Ive adjusted it to no avail, and i flipped the bov around so the line isnt getting pinched by the hood. I dont mind the sound at all, its kind of cool- but is this bad? What can i do to fix it?

2. What psi do you guys think is safe to be running at with only 1.6l injectors, and a vortec? Can i go to 7? Either way what should be my next step for more psi's, my setup is in my sig... I have a Bipes, and when i install that id like to be seeing 10 psi soon, just trying to go down the right path.

Thanks again guys, you have no idea how much you have helped me out through this whole process.

Do you still have that vacuum plug on the lower port? If so take it off. Then just try to let out the adjustment screw all the way and see if that doesn't help. If it does then tighten it back up to the point where it just starts to flutter and back it off a tad.

Do the math for yourself. the max your FP can output is 75psi, so figure that 203cc injectors can handle maybe 130rwhp. And you're probably close to that.

Fireindc 01-30-2007 03:21 PM

Alright, im going to try that with the BOV, i already did take off the vaccum plug.

Well, in that case what should i do next... Walbro fuel pump, or bigger injectors?

t25miata 01-30-2007 09:27 PM

Bigger injectors for sure. The stock fuel pump will flow enough fuel for 10PSI on the greddy kit. Slap some 1.8 injectors or 305cc supra injectors in and up zee boost, befvor ze chermans get 'ere! :bigtu:

60AGS

rotaryjunky 01-31-2007 11:56 AM

You might as well start with the 1.8s cause you can always sell them again. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge to check the strengh of your stock fuel pump?

rotaryjunky 01-31-2007 11:57 AM

Get a wideband too, like an LC-1. Your going to get one eventually anyways and this way you can safely up the boost.

Fireindc 01-31-2007 04:56 PM

AHh, all very valid points.

I think yeah im going to go with 1.8 injectors- but the dreaded clutch slip is happening now. The clutch has like 8k miles on it, and cant even fucking handle 5 psi. It slips in 3rd and fourth right when it hits boost. Oh well, gonna tackle that first i guess, and i think im going to have to go with an ebay clutch since im so poor, and i didnt get the jump on that act one in the for sale place- haha.

Wish me luck, lots of it.

(no i dont have a fuel pressure gauge, and i do want a wideband!)
