Default Stock FPR comparison...

Hey guys. I'm waiting on a response from the Prelude guys and thought you might be able to help:

I'm trying to figure out a clearance issue with my FPR and DC strut brace. A buddy of mine came up with a great idea of mounting a stock '95 VTEC Prelude FPR to the rail. The difference is that the Prelude one has an angled inlet valve, while my GS-R's has a straight inlet port and needs this machined block to sit at an angle to clear the intake manifold.

He says aside from the angled inlet, they have the same flow characteristics. Can you guys confirm this? If this is true, I simply ditch the 3/4" block, mount the Prelude FPR directly onto the fuel rail and, voila, the fuel line will not only clear the intake manifold, but I can use my tower brace again.


Thanks,

A-dub

if it bolts up, sure why not. the injectors flow a LITTLE more than the integra's injectors - but the only way to tell for sure is with a fuel pressure gauge which i dont know if u have one already

Yeah, I think you're right...couldn't hurt since I'm using it in conjunction with an AEM RRFPR...as well as the Cartech FMU. I just wanted to see if I could get another vouch for this as I didn't want to introduce another unknown variable into the cocktail mix (been spending months working out mysterious quirks for a good baseline before a final dyno tune).

I'll give you the best advice you can get. Switch to OBD1, and go get a street and dyno tune. Piggy-back systems SUCK.
