Yeah... the chrome tank is my oil catch can. My fuel system has 10 million parts to it lol. It's converted to a return:

255lph Walbro Fuel Pump --> Stock Fuel Rail --> (4) 370cc Saturated RC Engineering Injectors --> Cut Fuel Rail w/ attachment welded --> Stainless Steel Braided Line --> Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator --> Stainless Steel Braided Line --> Gas Tank


BEST PART: My voltage isn't clamped at the MAP, I don't use a Missing Link either. And I still get no CEL. E-manage shows that the MAP is working fine.

Don't suppose you can show us some closeups of that bisnoatch? Did you have a shop hook up your fuel system or did you do it all yourself? That sounds like a kick @ss setup....

Mine catches oil (if there is any) from the PCV valve (right below the intake manifold).

Lol, yeah. Finally. Run's like stock. I've already gone through a tank of gas on the return system. I just filled it up. I got 35mpg.

I'm set for 8 psi. But my car hasn't been tuned yet, so I'm holding off on going high. I don't even bring it above 4000rpm. So I've been driving lightly but taking up to 6psi occasionally, but when I get toward 4000rpm I let it off.

Lol... it takes a lot of strength not to just floor it to redline and see what happens lol. The shop that did it brought it to 8.7psi. But that's on their dime lol. They told me not to do it until they tune it.

My fuel system is converted to a return system. As of right now, everything is controlled by the stock ECU still, but the FPR is tuned to give me more pressure as I need it. It's still not fine tuned. I have the stock injectors in right now. I have 370cc injectors, but as with all the others, they are 1/2" longer than stock. The fuel rail fits the injectors fine, but then you have to worry about the TPS (we all know how that works ) Currently, I am working on getting custom injectors that are the same length as stock. The fuel rail is the stock fuel rail. It's cut on the end with an attachment welded on that takes a line and feeds fuel to the FPR... then the FPR goes to the gas tank. I have a long detailed list of parts that made my return system... right down to the washers. If anybody really wants to know, I'll post it.

As far as the MAP. I'll explain in deeeeeep details how it works lol. Honda made a 2002 Honda Civic LX coupe in Satin Silver Metallic. They put a MAP sensor in there because something about airflow and fuel is important . I boost, and it says "mmm I love boost. I don't wanna give you a CEL... More boost please!" I didn't modify anything. It just doesn't give me a CEL.

If anybody wants me to log MAP voltage VS Boost, and post up the graph, I will. But it seriously doesn't care.

EDIT: I'm still going to use the E-manage when the other injectors are put in.
