paddy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Has anyone used one of the fake Sard fpr's? There on eBay for about £25. I know it's best to buy a real one but has anyone had any experience with a fake one? I took apart a fpr one before and all that was inside was a rubber diaphragm so guess it can't be hard to make a good fake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Buy a branded one, rather than a cheap copy. Doesn't have to be SARD. You'll wish you spent the extra £50 when the crappy Chinese thing fails and costs you an engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl. Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think I seen someone mention that a genuine sard fpr can be got from RHD Japan for around £65 delivered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I got mis sold a fake fpr and it wouldnt drop below 4bar.I then bought a sard and have never fitted it.The standard fpr is good enough for most use tbf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 i use a genuine sard fpr kit and fittings from rhdjapan...got it years ago, i'd guess 10 years ago i've never had an issue with it to date...so i'd suggest IF you do get one, to get a proper brand..its not something that you want to go bang as that could spell costly damage the alternative case, as daniel g said, stick with the stock fpr, they work quite well and if you have the proper management, correct size injectors, etc...then you will be fine whatever you do, avoid fake fpr and other such fake items in general Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I used to have an aeromotive fpr on my 1st GT, good bit of kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
federalman Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 As others have said: if you want a Sard which is fair enough buy what you want I know I do, but don't buy a copy. You end up with a whole world of hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
