and yea, my advice is usually safe to take. I have turbod over 100 cars, and about 50 of em were 7thgen civics
you can up the pressure, but its difficult to do. not really worth while. Thats what the SF system does.
but then again, the SF system emulates a return line, so i guess you could argue that point.....

Rep Power: 285 anyway, back to the point....
you can up the pressure, but it is difficult to do without installing a return line setup.
The SF fmu emulates a return line. If you think about it, it is a return line setup.
The return line on a car returns the fuel to the tank because it is pretty much the only place it can return it before the fuel pump.
The SF kit has an inline fuel pump built into it. That pump feeds a 'T' that goes to the fuel rail, but also goes through a fuel pressure regulator, a 1 way check valve, and then BACK BEFORE the fuel pump.
Basically, it accomplishes the same thing as installing a return line, it just compacts it.

Rep Power: 0 ok I went to have a talk with the guy from the shop ..he thought i have a return system.. I told him that I wont be needing a fpr since im returnless and that id rather him installiing a emanege with rsx injectors ..
he told me that the emanage and rsx injectors are not included in the deal .. hell use the AEM fpr to increase the pressure. Originaly the point of that K03 turbo setup is to be able to put a turbo setup on a stock engine (d series) and that I should expect arround 30% increase.. He garantes that my car wont be running rich or lean and the tune and the dyno time is free .. so I didnt leave a deposit and told him ill think bout it cuz at 1st he told me i should expect a 70% increase.. anyways considering the turbo FAQ and many replys u guys posted i should expect an answer like that guy is crazy for not changing ur injectors and not putting a piggyback but he has a lot of experience and he can garantee the job. let me know what u guys think...

Exactly, you cannot install a FPR on the rail to control the fuel pressure when the stock one is still in the tank on the stock pump.
Hey, if you do go through with this deal.......i have a complete stock motor with 11,000 miles on it i could give to you for a good price.

look into dezods new kit, hes developing a cheap baseline kit to run 5psi, approximately 40%-50% increase maybe (im sure someone can verify this)
find the member named dezod and pm him with all your questions, tell him about this thread and ask him about his thread where he came up with the idea for the turbo, it explains all youll need to know about his kit and what else youll need.
