Looks like I'm going to need an aftermarket fuel regulator and to re-plumb the lines.

You might want a larger fuel supply line anyway. I think it's only 6mm/0.25" on the Insight?

Ended up with an AEM fuel pressure regulator, connected to the stock fuel and return lines. From the regulator it's a "dead head" system to the rail. This keeps both the factory fuel pump, and also the engine's stock fuel rail, and fuel pressure is adjustable should I ever decide to go that route.

Still need to sort out:
-Have CEL for VTEC pressure
-My harness had no connector for rear O2 sensor
A/C wiring
-Coolant gauge - I moved the old sensor over, just needs a wire
-Shortening shifter cables so 6 and R clear
-Put speedo converter box in so I have working speedometer
-Cruise control wiring
-Alignment
As a side note, the transmission is 100% brand new inside, and it's a bit hard to shift. It has less than 2 miles on it, hoping everything went back together right and it just needs to wear in.

I probably missed it, but what's the radiator plan? I couldn't imagine the stock Insight one is going to do well in a hot summer day with the upgrade, especially when you are feeling feisty!

What I've heard from others is that it does fine. I'll find out, of course. |

Currently doing some future planning for my CRX HF when the motor eventually goes. I've got 320k on the clock, probably have another 150 before I spin a rod or something.
I'm looking into a k24 and there is plenty of varieties out there. Do you know what an insight gets apples to apples mpg In driving with a k24 versus OEM?

Not yet!
With a CRX you're likely to need a large hood cutout, the engine bay isn't tall enough for a K series. |

It's barely tall enough for a 3-cyl Metro engine!
