Question wondering how to get more fuel with a FMU

wondering if anyone can help me out.....i purchased a turbo setup for my 01 ex however it came with no fmu..... i purchased a Blox fmu, however as you already know there is no return line in the system to hook it up to...talked to a couple of shops and they said that i have to put in a "T" and hook it up to another return line.......???? not quite sure what they meant...just wondering if anyone can help..either with a web site...or more info..thanks

basically, you just install an inline fuel pump as you would on a return line car. You then add a Brass T before and after the pump. You then run a line from the T After the pump, into an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Then out of the Regulator into the FMU. Then out of that into the check valve. Then out of the valve into the T before the pump.

There you have it. a DIY SF fuel system.

Looks a lot harder when its all compacted into that little unit, huh?

If somebody wants to drive out here with all the parts, i will do all the routing and what not. Basically you will just have to do the electrical. Then i can write a DIY on it.

nope. The pressure regulator is just to set the base pressure.

Without the pressure regulator, it would take ~5 psi of boost before the kit gave you any fuel.

look at the picture. that is how you have to do it. There is no other way (other than coverting to a return style fuel system).

If a boost referencing fuel pressure regulator is used in this scenario, will the fmu still be necessary?

so is it needed to have a INLINE FUEL PUMP not just an FMU? And another thing where can I find the adapter hardware to tap these fule lines into the FMU?
