I hope you're wrong at least for the guys paying for installation of that kit. I don't see why they'd have to do something like that. Someone probably just called it by the wrong name or something.

Yes, your right about the PE kit, you'll have to modify your fuel tank insert a compression fitting and run a line all the way back to the tank. You could try teeing the feed line from the tank, but chances are the pressure will be greater and will over-come the return line.

I also believe greddy went this way because they couldn't get the injector pulse on the 440 small enough to keep it from running rich on the low rpm's. Is this what you will be doing SSR?

We're going to do new injectors, fuel management, rising rate fuel pressure regulator, fuel return line modification, just to make it a conventional returned fuel system.

I think this the way most people are resolving there fuel management problems

Why are you doing that? The FMU does the same thing, but without having to plumb a return line in. The only advantage I can see is that it's a mechanical item instead of an electronic item. You still won't solve any ECU issues unless you have some way of controlling the injector pulse.

lol an FMU, thats kind of ghetto, it might work, but there's no way you could run larger injectors, tune an FMU for larger injectors and have a streetable TT kit. You'd probably have problems tuning your kit for low RPM 0 boost, considering Fuel pressure would be the same and you are runing larger injectors.

we are controlling Injector Pulse.

the 2001 civic d17A had to do this too. They had to run a return fuel line in order to get the FI to work. Its the new technology and FI isn't keeping up! hell the civic doesn't even have a distributor! does ours?

anyway the after market doesn't have millions of dollars for R&D so they just do the best they can to keep up with technology. If adding a return fuel line is the biggest headache than that isn't so bad in retrospect!
