Adjustable FPR
Looking around for a nice fuel pressure regulator w/guage. Curious to see which ones everyone here is using, or which one you would recommend. Right now I have a relatively stock fuel system with the OEM 35lb/hr injectors and a 255 Walboro in-tank pump being installed shortly.

Not sure if you're interested, but I made an adjustable FPR for about $10 and 10 minutes of time. The Ford CFI (Fords throttle body injection) cars have an adjustable FPR, but its not referenced to engine vacuum. I drilled a hole in the top (not the fuel side so its safe) and JB Welded a barb fitting into the hole. I then drilled a hole in a stainless hose clamp and tightened it around the barb fitting. I have pics I can post later. It only took a few minutes, and works like a charm.

Taking this back up to the top (I forgot about this thread).
Dave, I'm really looking to just get a nice billet unit. Most of those are rebuildable as well.
So here is another question. For turbo cars, which is better: an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, or something like the 1:1 Aeromotive fuel pressure riser? Do they do the same thing as far as "regulating" fuel pressure?

Aeromotive 1:1..
You set the base setting to whatever is required and it regulates that amount until you get into boost and then up it goes 1:1..
Not sure if that was the question or not. Go to http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/product...cat=Regulators and find the right one. Call and ask what they prescribe. Then order it from Summit.

Right now I'm leaning towards a Kirban. It bolts to the stock location on the fuel rail, has manual adjustment, and has 1:1 rise with boost. Plus I was just reading some bad reviews on the Aeromotive/BBK self destructing on numerous occassions. :o

, kirban is definately the way to go in my opinion. I have probbaly heard the same reviews you have on Aeromotive junk. It is a Kirban regulator, billett. Still in plastic. I will get you pictures of everything ASAP.
