the fuel rail was about $40 (ebay)
the inline filter was $45 (summit racing)
3 ft of SS hose was $13 (summit racing)
all the AN fittings for the fuel setup were about $45 (summit racing)
the AEM FPR was $100 new (ebay)
and the liquid filled fuel press gauge was about $20 (ebay)

The only reason I needed to buy the fuel rail is because I had a y8 manifold and a z6 FPR. the z6 fpr didn't fit the y8 rail, and the z6 rail wouldn't fit the y8 intake maniold. So I got a cheap aftermarket one that worked with both. I ended up only needing about 1 ft of the SS hose, they also sell 1 ft sections. And you don't have to have a fuel gauge unless you have some mods and are tuning an adj. FPR.

So I spent about $250 (ouch) but you can buy everything you need for under $90 if you keep your stock fuel rail, FPR, and don't get a fuel gauge.

Also had to fix the honda rust before it got any worse:

Thanks! I Love the look of the inline filter an ss line :P I also need a new fuel filler pipe. Mine is rusty so i just want to replace it so i don't have to in the future! The earls fittings looks sweet with the anodized blue :D I think i might get some for my brake lines if that is possible!

#8728 I have noticed XTD clutches on ebay.. but i never really heard anything about them... are they a good choice?
User avatar

#8739 These are produced by another company, I think. I hear they are a little overrated when it somes to HP... I've also heard of people having quality issues with the stage 1 and 2. I've only ever heard or read 1 bad thing about someone with their stage 3. so I chalk it up to user error on that one. :D
It's important that you break in properly for the first 500 mi.
The stage 3 is rated @ 300 WHP I believe. I'd stay away from the stage 1 and 2 though.

Here's the shaved bay that pretty block will be sitting in: http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=91
