Custom Turbo
My friend in San Diego is gonna be doing a custom turbo set up on my car sometime this summer. For under $3000 for EVERYTHING! I'm really excited about it!!! He's done a lot of them. All different kinds of set ups. I can't wait! I'm getting a second job to be able to pay for it ASAP. Wish me luck!!!

Rep Power: 0 That thread is about how he manages to control boost using a method besides Hondata or the Hondata 'hack'. How is he going to solve the problem of getting fuel the engine via the returnless fuel system?

Rep Power: 0 This might help some of you. I got this from another thread where someone posted their ideas...
<< try this
1 find out what pressure you are running stock.
2 install the return fuel line
3 put a nedle valve between the rail and the return line
4 install a high pressure fuel pump
5 adjust the fuel pressure to the stock level, using the valve. this way the pressure will never change!!!
now here comes the trickey part. you will need a fuel pressure reg made for boost. ex vortech SFMU. i has to be adjustable. because it is made for high pressure on our 6 gen civics. and no telling what it will be set like from the factory. if you are short on cash just get a a/f and adjust it going down the road. you will have to stop each time to change the settings. >>
this is basicall what my local tuner is planning to do with my custom turbo civic application too.
here's what he said he's going do:
The FMU I would use on your car is a Bell unit that allows to set the base fuel pressure as well as the stepping ratio (rate of gain) for the fuel pressure from 2:1 up to 11:1. This allows us to fine tune the fuel requirements for your particular application. In addition we can also set the maximum fuel pressure so as not to strain the injectors to much. This is used in conjunction with the fuel return hose to provide all the additional fuel requirements your vehicle will need for safe boost. It will also require a better fuel pump.
