Since you are using the rsx-s injectors, could that also mean that someone could use the aem fuel rail on the d17 motor? To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

So with this discovery, is it necessary to convert to a returnless fuel system? Or do you still need to make a return fuel system? Mine come in today w00000h000!

Stock pump will still max out at a certain point. Even if you increase the voltage to increase output it will heat up and eventually fail.

Well how about with an upgraded fuel pump and no return fuel system, would it work that way?

I would still bypass the in-tank FPR and install a boost referencing FPR like opto's Drag Aeromotive FPR under the hood. And at that point I would need to convert.

I don't believe it would. It MAY work - however there are two things to consider.

1. The injector spacing for the K20 may be different than the D17, since it is a larger motor.

2. The AEM rail I saw over at the clubrsx forums still had the pulsation dampener in the center (ala the RSX-S style - the RSX has it mounted on the END).

So - the stock RSX (non S) rail MAY work if:

- There are no clearance issues since it may be a larger rail

and

- If the injector spacing is identical to that of the D17.

Yeah, they're called RC's.....RC makes a replacement for the RSX, but you still need to splice their clips to your wires for them to work - PLUS the clearance issue still exists....which is why I went this route to begin with, no modifications really necessary (except the mounting studs)....
