So I was working on replacing my spark plugs and fuel filter today and ended up confusing myself. I figured I was following the arrows on the filter top as it would make sense in my head. I ended up stripping one of the fittings out on the filter trying to get to the silly high 25 lb/ft for the banjo bolts. Now I’m worried I got the orientation of the lines wrong. I had it so the line from the firewall was going to the side nearest to the intake and the line running to the fuel rail nearer to the passenger side. Is this correct? I can’t find anything with my google-fu except a picture from a questionable youtube video. Also is there a revised torque spec because 25 lb/ft seems ridiculously high.
After looking at 3 separate Tegs in pick and pull I’ve come to the conclusion that I had it backwards…
So for anyone out there who did the same thing as me, or is wandering through google trying to find the answer here it is. I swapped the lines today to end up in the proper orientation.
Has anyone used the K&N fuel filter? The lines look like they bolt on top and bottom rather than side by side. I’d like to get one but I don’t know it the fuel lines will require modification.
If it mounts top and bottom chances are they’re for DC Integra’s and not a second gen.
Yes honestly I just ran into this issue I ordered a new Bosch fuel filter for 90-91 and yes you are better finding a Oem replacement cause the k&n requires you to custom make your fuel lines usually with fittings and braided line but yea I ordered the k&n and now going to use it on my b16 ek cause it will bolt right on to that one
