ive got a hook up for a motor for 250 b18 series. and i was wondering if id need to change the fuel tank for any reason in the civic (1984) to get it running. thanks

as stated in many threads, all you need is an si fuel pickup.

[savestheday]

You can just use the Si pickup, But I hope your not expecting that to be an easy swap.

bleh, its not that bad. take a harness out of a 90-93 integra, put it in your car. bam, your wired.

you don't need the si fuel pick up, i didn't use it.

i didnt either. Ive still got the stock DX pickup in there. What you will need to do though is get a larger in car fuel line for the high pressure side. The return line can stay the same...

wow, have you guys done the B swap? you do not HAVE to change to a SI pickup or bigger in car lines. you can if it makes you feel better about yourself but you do not have to. i have been using HF lines and pickup with not one problem in a year and a half and over 14,000 miles with my B18B1 setup. and dont think it's because the car is babied because it deffinitely isnt, theres a few members on here that can vouch for that.

i dont even think im going to have to change pickup or lines when i turbo this setup.

im not tryin to argue here, but i did my swap on an hf. in the end i used an si pickup. not sure if thats how it is in all ocassions, the stock pickup could of had a hole in it or something, but for some reason with the stock fuel pickup i didnt get hardly any fuel pressure, with the si pickup it was fine.

i just say upgrade the fuel lines and get the si pickup because honda had it on there for a reason. it may not be the most important thing, but i just like to do things right the first time.

i had to change my main line because it was the only way i could get my flanger to work since the other pipe was too small

yeah i used integra fuel lines in my hatch cause the old carbed lines didnt have proper fittings on them.. the d16a1 fuel pump runs at about 43 PSI i think.. i wasnt gonna do a half ass job on the fuel lines so i used the proper ones..

so what did you do to get a fitting and flange on there? the carbed fueal lines are tiny as hell...

i used 2 hose clamps on each connector. like i said a year and a half and over 14,000 miles with not one problem

the MSD pump i used called for a rubber hose and a hose clamp on it so it must be good for the rest of the system. the pump is rated at 125 psi max
