You won't need an fpr if you run low boost. Walbro 255, 440cc injectors, and bored out fuel rail is enough.

Personally with anything that deals with fuel I don’t like to go cheap. Because it's my dd and if I go lean and melt something I’m in trouble. So i wouldnt run the ebay FPR. But that's just me.

Hooray for me to come in with some taboo here. There are mirage guys pushing 400+ HP on stock fuel rails. Just so you know. There was a thread on here even that a guy with a turbo setup put a rrm bored rail on his car and was getting WAAAAAY too much fuel. He put his stocker back on and was good to go. CRF, you can ask lusion if you want more info, he has all the references.

Ya, he changed my entire outlook on my build. But he has helped me with so many things. Alot of people dont always agree with him, but he can back up virtually anything he says and i fully trust him. Lucky living only 10 min from him, hes like our west coast senate lol.

I tried both bored and stock fuel rail on the Evo FPR. At 11 psi I was running lean on the stock fuel rail. To bore it out just go to a hardware store and get a long drill bit. I don't know what size but you can take your fuel rail and match one up.

Good advice for boreing out the rail. I hate seeing people spend wasteful money on stuff they can easily do themselves. However, in regards to the stock rail, yes i can see there being an issue with a evo fpr, however, if you have an adjustable fpr, you can just up the pressure and you have more fuel. But like you said, its easy to bore, but you should only do it if necessary. CRF, with you living in cali, i assume you would be looking for an easy way to convert back to stock for emissions, in which case it would be difficult with a bored rail. Just my .02

yeah i know what you mean.. he changed my whole prospective on the difficulty of turboing a lancer. its actually very simple and i was making it seem a lot more difficult than it is.

ill be starting my build thread pretty soon here, so i wont be starting anymore random question threads like these. just waiting till i got some extra cash for the tune and then everythings going on.

Well, if you want a bored fuel rail, just get an AEM rail for an integra, that way you can keep your stock one for emissions and have a pretty fuel rail to boot.

Its supposed to be. Link62 sent me a couple threads where they were talking about it and if you google, (i havent yet) you should be able to find some mirage guys that have done it. Lusion sent me a couple of pics of the AEM fpr on our stock rails, and i think he said something about he had heard that the rails fit on. I havent had a chance to check yet. I need to take one of my extra g94 manifolds to my site sponsors shop and see if he has an extra b18 rail.
