I thought the new civic has no return fuel system. How do you install the fmu? Any more details on the fuel managment part?

you should read the whole post,... it talks about the fuel management system that regulates fuel pressure depenending on boost... I think it give 10psi fuel for every 1psi boost....

No no. That is not what i was asking. I know how FMU works. The part I don't get is the new honda fuel system design. Your civic has a returnless fuel system, which I wonder how the FMU is hooked up. Catalyst, can you help me with the answer?

I think it just goes inline from where the fuel comes out of until the fuel is used... you gotta like spliece into the fuel line by the fuel rail I think... thats why it regulares the fuel pressure so all the fuel is used up depending on the level of boost you are running, I mean I understand how it works, its just hard to explains.

O.K. Maybe this was covered. I didn't see it though. Where you installed the intercooler, did you have to remove the A/C radiator? Or is it behind the intercooler? I live in Arizona and I'll be damned if I am w/o A/C in this 115deg weather.

with the SF kit you do not have to remove the a/c radiator, meaning you still will have air condtioning. I know how you feel about the hot weather and wanting a/c, we live in a wonderful desert also that gets up to sometimes higher then 115deg.
