fuel pressure reg myth or fact?
the nitrous kit already adds more fuel pressure by running nitrous pressure across the FPR which is jetted at a certain level...........
and yes you can also add more fuel by the FPR........
its as simple as more pressure......... kinda like the differnce between 10 psi or 20psi from a turbo using the same tubing, at 20 psi there is alot more air.........
19lb injectors will fail at about 90psi........... about the safest you'd want to run them would be 50-70ish..........
just buy a sr20det or a b16zx9r-LMNOP

oh yeah......... P.S. you car already has a FPR on it from the factory.......
but its not adjustable, but you don't need an adjustable one to run the nitrous..........

as stated above, the FPR allows you to adjust the line pressure, more pressure = more fuel, to a point...
save up some green and do it right.
if you go cheap you go boom...

Actually Im kidding. I had a good freind with a 5.0 all bolt ons and a 150 shot. He ran low 12s with enough mph for 11s...he just never got it there. It had almost 200k miles on the odo when he sold it to some kid. When he sold it it was setup to run good NA. Hotter plugs and NA timing. He told the kid what to do if he was going to run the nitrous, such as pull some timing and put in a heat range colder plug.
Well we saw the kid at sunshine and he came up to my buddy and asked him why the car was running so slow on the juice. We started asking him what shot he was running, how the car was setup etc etc. He didt really know. We watched him make a pass and it sounded like someone rattling 1000 pebbles in a tin can...detonation all the way down the track. We left since we expected the car to die any second and didnt want to be blamed for selling a lemon. And the kid would not take any of our advice.
Fast Fwd a few months......we see the car at Blue Oval all wrecked up. But the engine was still going strong. The 5.0 motors are damn tough and can take a beating. Obviously if you run them correctly they will last a long time too.

I brought up this whole thread because of one question to my friends.
What if I ran dry? Do I need an FPR?
I know that if you have a wet kit your obviously pushing both N02 and fuel in through jets into the cylinders but if your dry then just nitrous comes out and you need a source for more fuel(ie) injectors upped or as you guys are saying FPR..
But my main misunderstanding here is how the hell can a fuel pressure regulater force more fuel into the cylinders when the 19 pound injectors only do that of 19 pounds per hour ...How do you add more than what its capable of taking?
Brian told me that the fpr increases the amount of fuel and I dont see it that way, it just doesnt make sense to me..
I think that the fpr controls how much fuel is delivered into the rail awaiting the injectors.So I see it as you having a huge fuel pump pushing more fuel then you need and running to the fpr.The fpr slows the fuel because you have to much and therefore lessens the amount in the rail so it runs at a normal pace.
Do any of you understand what I am talking bout?
I mean I just dont have a clue how the hell an fpr makes an injector push fuel...
Please inform me, let me know a website or something to go to unless you can totally clear all this and give me the downlow on all this....
Al, just leave it alone.I dont care to hear you run amuck in my post picking at my post and being arrogant.I just dont wanna hear that cause if I wanted that I would ask Joker to represent me.....
