That’s super tidy Pete! Very factory looking, well done!

As for the FPR, on the EJ251 in the Gen 3 RX it’s on the engine just tucked in behind the back of the manifold on the RHS. I believe this is the spot for all NA EJ engines afaik. That FPR looking thing in the fuel line on the strut tower is more likely to be a surge control device. No vacuum line to it so can’t be a factory FPR.

You're probably right Bennie, probably a pulse dampener. I'd have to have a look see at the manual again I reckon.

Yeah pulse dampeners. 

Later model cars the reg is indeed on the tower though. 

GR STi etc its up there

So it's all in. I added in a Haltech WB-1, reconfigured all the sensors so they talked properly, low and behold it fired off first go, held idle, made no funny noises. I was quite suprised since I used the RS Liberty map. But we'll take wins where we can ! Thanks to the Haltech forums on FB, I searched anything and everything and found every question I wrote down on a sheet of paper, so i didn't even need to post any questions, someone already had for me. Considering converting this to DBW, MAP, bigger injectors and removing all the IASC, I was super suprised the Haltech was smart enough to calculate the lot and sort something out, completely impressed. 

I put a RB26DETT Boost Solenoid for the controller, I've used these in multiple cars and they work great for simple setups like this. 

Here's a flick of the first start.

Currently just waiting on a callback to find out where I can get it onto the awd dyno, but currently the WB-1 setup is definitely helping the map, I've cruised the block a couple of times, and the AF/R is right where I consider would be perfect for it. I'm am highly thinking about dumping the AEM wideband and grabbing the Haltech CAN gauge. 

While I've been waiting picked up this GD WRX interior, so much better, and suits the blue door card and carpet. Got rid of a heap of human slim and liquids, although they do need another clean. Grabbed them quick as I could, they're the best looking set I've seen in a while with all good bolsters. 





Yesterday cleaned the engine bay a bit more, modified the brackets for the engine cover so it hid the throttle body and boost controller, only thing that gives it away is the controller on the right hand side strut tower. 

 

Haltech is mounted in the factory spot, when you flip down the coin tray, it gives direct access to the usb port. 

 

 

 

​​​​​​​Anyway, Pete.
