i posted this up in the beginner forum but it belongs here
First lets start with the tool list that you will need for the project
1. ablity to wrench!
2. a 17mm socket or gear wrench or wrench
3. 21/64 metal drill bit
4. Vise
5. 1/8 27 NPT tap
6. 4" crescent wrench
second the parts list
1. permatex thread sealent (GAS SAFE!)
2. B&M adj. fuel pressure regulator part# 46057(sliver)46058(red)46059 (blue) and if you want purple #46051
3. B&M fuel pressure gauge part # 46054
now for the install
first locate this handy bolt that honda provided us with along with the fuel pressure regulator
for those interested the bolt is a M12 X1.25 thread
next you remove the bolt using the 17mm socket or wrench
next you clamp that baby in a vise and take the 21/64 drill bit and start drilling the center
*** be sure to drill exactly center other wise the bolt WILL snap when you put it back into the fuel rail***
after the hole is drilled (about 1/4"-1/2") down you tap it with the 1/8"NPT tap
it should look something like this
*** i added the thread sealent already***
after taped check and see if the gauge will thread into the newly tapped hole
disassemble the gauge from the bolt and put the bolt back into the fuel rail. once the bolt is tight, spin in the gauge LOOSELY by hand, then use the 4" crescent wrench to tighten down the gauge, once again dont over tighten this
*installed*
for comparison
now give yourself a pat on the back because if you didnt have to go to the junk yard like i did to pull another bolt of the rail because you snaped the "S" out of it... one step ahead
im not going to go over the Adj. Fuel pressure regulator with pictures because its so easy to do ill just go over the steps
1. take out your existing FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator) with the 10mm socket
2. cut 1/4" from the top of the FPR (where the vacuum lead comes in) with a hack saw or cut off tool, dont worry about the spring inside B&M provides you with a new one.
3. install the new spring, gaskets and sandwich the two halves together USE THE LOCK TITE PROVIDED!
4. install the FPR back onto the fuel rail... should look like this
finished... give the car time to get fuel and start it up check for leaks.
im not sure what the stock honda fuel pressure is set at but i turned mine up to 40psi at idle, stock is 38psi
PICTURES OF MY MOTOR FOR FUN!
im gearing up for turbo that DIY yet to come... i call it "project BUTT stock"
