I'm taking the fuel system seriously now. Received my new 1000cc injectors, pnp clips, and walbro fuel pump. I also have a FPR crushing tool on the way that'll raise my fuel pressure ~10psi.

Not a big fan of breather setups, but I guess the turbo mandates it. Picked up all these parts from Home Depot / Baxters.

Finding a fitting locally for the PCV system is basically impossible (due to it being a large metric thread), so I just made my own out of a spare PCV valve. Put it in a vice, put a tap down the middle of it on the barb end and hit it with a sledge. All the PCV parts pop out the back of it... filed down the resultant cracked edges on the back of the valve till it was smooth. Presto, perfect fitting for my breather. ;-)

I wanted this to go somewhere reasonably out of sight... chose to tuck it behind the headlight. Don't want to clutter up my engine bay with a bunch of random crap. I think it turned out reasonably clean.

Vit and I have been trying for days to troubleshoot an issue we've both had with our cars during cold starts. I emailed Doug at Hondata today asking if he had any ideas.

He suggested that we block air from this cold start thermostat valve. It's supposed to supply additional air to the injectors through small channels in the head and intake manifold to help atomize the fuel as it enters the cylinders. Well, with the injectors we're both using (RC) this doesn't seem to work too well. It seems that instead, the air gets sucked through into the cylinders without changing the manifold pressure and freaks the computer out.

We both cut and plugged the hoses for this and voila, no more rev hang and bouncing idle. Who would have thought?

Picked up the iSimple iPod interface for the Si. Renee and I got sick of not having an iPod in the Civic and finally bit the bullet and got it done.
