A conversation with Topher now about the banjo fitting issue:

Quote:
20:58:23 Christ @ EcoModder.com: FPR = vacuum line thingy
20:58:33 Christ @ EcoModder.com: sits on the opposite side from the banjo fitting
20:58:47 Christ @ EcoModder.com: So you need the non-FPR fitting, if you go with that
20:59:16 Christ @ EcoModder.com: You don't need the 90's, either. Just leave extra line and support the filter on the firewall with a screwed bracket
20:59:28 Ben Jones: Wait wait wait
20:59:36 Ben Jones: It does have an FPR
20:59:44 Ben Jones: So I need the FPR fitting, right?
20:59:47 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Ok, so you need the FPR fitting.
20:59:57 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Check to make sure the fitting from the CRX fits the fuel rail
20:59:58 Ben Jones: Should I trust the description and not the image?
21:00:02 Christ @ EcoModder.com: if it does, you need the FPR fitting
21:00:18 Ben Jones: The d15z1 banjo is the same as the insight one
21:00:43 Ben Jones: So, I figure I need the FPR one
21:00:55 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Trust the description
21:01:02 Ben Jones: The FPR on the inside is the same side as banjo as well
21:01:04 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Russell would have fixed it by now if it was wrong
21:01:37 Christ @ EcoModder.com: They're a large company. What you do is carry some extra crush washers and the right size wrench with you.
21:01:39 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Just in cas.e
21:01:55 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Copper ones work great, that's what I use.
21:01:56 Ben Jones: I was thinking of ordering both and returning the wrong one, but you're saying I should trust you and Russel...?
21:02:39 Christ @ EcoModder.com: IF you have the cash to play that game, you can, to be safe
21:02:49 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Also, you don't really need a banjo fitting at all
21:02:52 Ben Jones: For the wrong one the issue won't be about the crush washers so much as the different sizes of the openings on the banjo
21:02:55 Ben Jones: I don't?
21:03:07 Ben Jones: This fuel rail is not a bolt with a hole
21:03:13 Ben Jones: It's a thing with a nut
21:03:32 Christ @ EcoModder.com: Yeah, I know. It's trouble, but you rip that stub out and thread the hole
21:03:39 Ben Jones: !!!
21:03:41 Christ @ EcoModder.com: haha
21:03:43 Christ @ EcoModder.com: didn't think so
21:03:46 Ben Jones: How do I rip it out?
21:03:52 Ben Jones: Is it threaded in?
21:03:52 Christ @ EcoModder.com: ? really!
21:04:11 Christ @ EcoModder.com: I don't believe so. The last one I did was on a Civic, I hacksawed the stub and threaded it
21:04:21 Ben Jones: Nutter
21:04:31 Christ @ EcoModder.com: I believe I used a NPT thread, though, so it took 2 adapters
21:04:31 Ben Jones: Insight fuel rails don't grow on trees
21:04:40 Christ @ EcoModder.com: I know, which is why I figure you won't want to do it.
21:04:45 Ben Jones: I shan't
21:04:48 Christ @ EcoModder.com: You can't unthread the thing, it's pressed.
21:05:01 Ben Jones: I'll order all the annoyingly expensive crap tonight
21:05:29 Ben Jones: I think the 90* bends might be good, since I don't know how hard it is to bend around the stuff
21:05:35 Christ @ EcoModder.com: If you know what size that nut is, you can get a hose end fitting that will screw onto it, but then there's the holes in it.
21:05:49 Ben Jones: Yeah, the holes are the issue
21:05:51 Christ @ EcoModder.com: bend what? Stainless line?
21:05:56 Ben Jones: I'll just use the damn banjo
