KN, HiSpeed, and I think Gerzand are gonna be your fuel pump pros. My understanding is that you can run a walbro in the stock location, but there is some customizing needed. The other option is to remove the regulator at the pump and run an aftermarket regulator. Hopefully they will chime in to straighten out the fuel pump questions.
Thanks for the info on the FIC injectors. $790 for 6 injectors seems high at first until you realize they are pnp for the J - with pigtails and adatpers too. Can't beat that. I may even go with just the 775 or 900s - their WHP numbers are a tad optimistic for me (I prefer to stay 85% DC) but I only want 375-400WHP and the 775s should do that with ease, even on E.

My Walbro had a whine that could be heard from a mile away. I had it replaced with a Aeromotive unit. If you plan on using the same housing, there is modifications needed. The Walbro is a bit smaller and takes less surgery. Both are the same flow even though they say they are different. All a play on words.
I did a lot of searching on injectors. Everything I read said you can't go wrong with ID. I've got a set of ID1000's on my bench. The connectors are not an issue. Most can just be popped out and placed into the appropriate plug. But even if you have to repin, a cheap set of crimpers will do the trick.

Ran out of time....
But with regard to the FPR, our stock basket has the FPR at the bottom of the unit in parallel with the pump output.
In Gerzand's case, he is running both the stock and external FPR because he isn't going above the stock fuel pressure.
I was going to just hack out the whole top of the existing pump inlet and run a rubber line to the outside. But if Jack has an alternative to make this cleaner, I am interested.
We are all running a return style fuel system with the external FPR.

I don't see the point in running an aftermarket FPR and leaving the stock FPR in place other than to act as the return. All you could do it lower the fuel pressure which doesn't seem like the goal. That said we may not have to run a external FPR other than to return fuel to the tank since the stock fuel pressure is pretty high.

I am going to pick up my old engine in a few days and will try to get the info on the aftermarket pump housing. It looked almost identical to the stock pump, with the exception of having the FPR in the top and an exposed fuel line coming from the pump up to the stock FPR. The shop played around with my housing for weeks even adding a plug to reroute the fuel around the regulator and we still were not getting good fuel pressure. The cardboard was causing a restriction and could not be removed. My feeling is that the pump was from an older TL or CL, but could have been just an aftermarket pump for the 3G's.

When you talk about the cardboard, is that the chamber where the fuel exit and fpr is connected? If it is, I wondered if that would be bad for flow.
You really do need the FPR after the rails so that there is a consistent flow of fuel and the dump is happening after the rails. With the FPR in the supply side, you affect flow when dumping fuel for pressure, especially in a return-less setup.

the 9th gen civic si guys and i think 8th gen si's are using the Deatschwerks DW65C Fuel Pump. It is a straight drop in with out having to modify the basket. I wonder if this will work for us also.

Ok we have been trying to decide what turbo to use and there is very little info. on remote mounting I know we have to deal with the loss of heat and energy from it but I'm not a turbo guru can anyone help ? and let me know what they are running on there normal turbo manifolds and when they start to spool up and when they hit full boost (or 10 to 12 PSI)
CT3X-5558 333300-0002 HE 58 550 HP
CT3X-6062 333300-0003 HE 62 660 HP

I'm going to generalize pretty hard right now when I say this, but most turbo's are efficient for about 3k RPM of powerband. So go with that 5558 and you will hit 10 psi by 3k RPM and the turbo will be choked out by 6k and will fall on its face over that.
If you want power to redline I would do a 6262. On 3.0 liter/low compression supra builds, that turbo see's 10 pounds around 3500 rpm which would be perfect to pull to a 6500-7000 redline.

got the intercooler just about ready to mount. i made custom brackets that my dad designed. theyre gonna be visible through the grill so i want to make them look bad ass. we have been messing around with various designs to have milled out. not in love with the design with the holes on the side. suggestions/photoshopped images anyone?

Drew some up using triangles... looked freaking awesome...unfortunately its not something I can do my self and dont want to spend the money yet.
Most likely just going to do the center cutout and polish them to a mirrored finish.
maybe make new brackets and do triangles later on... cause again they look awesome.

got the brackets all finished up and polished up to a nearly mirrored finish,
replaced the hood latch cover with an aluminium box still got to notch out the center a bit so the hood will close all the way.
all in all id say its going quite well.
next, we run pipes.

Well it looks like might be scrapping the remote mount and mounting it up front, the appeal of opening the hood and having a turbo sitting there is what my kid wants more than the easy install of the remote setup, we took the battery out to make the intercooler piping and that was it he could picture what a turbo sitting there would look like, it's my fault he's been looking at my engine bay for to long LOL

I was excited to see a different take on things, especially the oilless turbos. I did some reading up on them and there were mixed opinions on them and reports of varying longevity. I think the most interesting aspect of them was the ability to mount in any position and there were some cool placements of them with them mounted vertically. Still, I think an engine bay placement does have a 'cool factor' when popping the hood, plus the ability to run a regular oiled turbo will probably reduce the cost somewhat - those oilless ones aren't cheap.

This is off topic....
What does your son have for a tig welder? I would like to give a redesign of the piping a shot after I get the engine back together.
I'm looking at a Miller Diversion 180 so I can do both SS/Al and was just curious what he's got and how it's working out.
Thanks.

KN, If you don't have to buy American made, I've used the Everlast PowerTig 185 and it works great. Granted, I wasn't welding a 6in shedule 80 pipe, but it did great on everything I could think of using it for on a car, and it's a good bit cheaper than the Miller. I'd get a good tig rig though.
Do you still think an Everlast, Eastwood or something similar would be easy for a newb?
#68
We have a deversion 180 and it is soso I would get an everlast that is more adjustable and has the pulse option if I were to buy another one, just tape the pipes together and find your local welding guru and pay him $100 bucks to weld it it's a ton of money buy the time you get the wlder $1000+ bucks bottle $200 (that you will have to fill constantly for $100 a pop) assortment of rod $150 tips gloves helmet ETC $300 it gets out of hand Quick

I took a class at our local technical college and it was great fun. If you have anything like that near you I'd recommend it. You have to buy some of the equipment, but you'll use all of it well after the class is done.
If you don't have that option or don't want to, check out the Mr. Tig videos on youtube. That guy is great welder, and his information was spot on with what I was taught. He also recommends the Everlast Tig welder. I don't think you can go wrong with it. It's about 750 - 1000 depending on where you get it. You'll also need an argon tank and regulator. I'd suggest a nice tig torch as well. Welding is fun - I wish I had more time to devote to it! I'd kill to be able to make some welds like Richie does!

Have you done any tig welding at all yet? I had to learn on a stick welder, and wish I hadn't since it didn't have a foot pedal for current. You just set the knob and went. Granted that only did steel, but it worked. I guess it had benefits because it was so old school, so I know how to do lift start tig. When I got to the A/C unit, the foot pedal confused me since I was used to doing it without it.

then while I was trying to put on bumper I noticed that it didn't fit right anymore.
it warped when we welded a steel plate on the back for support.
not a problem though, got it straightened out and put on.
