HONDATA fuel system upgrade

[18RRtypeR]

Currently targeting mid March. It always is difficult when you make product announcements in advance for a complex product - the release date can slip to ensure everything is 100%.

Awesome

Hey i really could use the fuel system right about now...along with everyone else...I'm out of fuel with my turbo kit and its causing throttle closures...any idea on release....its past mid march lol.

Hondata may or may not reply to this for awhile, they are temporarily shut down. As is most of the country/world. Sure they would've liked to meet that mid-march deadline if at all possible!

We're only waiting for one component - the low pressure fuel line. However I do not think it will be this month due to the shut down.

Great...thanks!!!

will this fuel pump require a new ecu map?

 

[Hondata_Support]

No.

It's not just a fuel pump though. The Hondata fuel system upgrade requires multiple components to deliver the increased fuel volume. Detailed explanation available at release.

i'm wondering what was the challenge in getting these low pressure fuel lines?
how would one go about converting this to AN line setup?
would ORB to AN adapter work? wouldn't that be easier and safer?

Like the high pressure line we are custom making the low pressure line. And like the high pressure line we're not cutting corners. For the low pressure line the clearance is very tight towards the valve cover and also through towards the rear of the head. AN fittings will nowhere near fit with the valve cover and then you'd also have to replace the OE fuel line as well. But then the bigger problems are that the line needs to be perfectly clean - the high pressure pump runs with micron clearance so any contamination will seize the piston - which you don't get on a rubber hose with the cutter style fittings. Also many people will run ethanol so everything has to either be stainless or plated, and I don't trust plating in the long term due to the contamination risk. I also don't want stacked AN fittings and then try to work out fatigue risk. Finally I don't like O rings compared to metal to metal. So here we are.
