Fuel Pressure Regulators

[Chris Green]

Ok, so it has been confrimed I definately have a dud FPR and need a new one.

Aeromotive & turbosmart are a bit too pricey, so I have been having a look at what's available.

I've heard a lot of negative things about Sard, diagraphams breack etc.

AEM, I know Honds boys in the States love these, there was a few issues with the early ones from what I have gathered, but they have been revised and are all good now, I should note these are really reasonably priced at £67.00 delivered.

Fuel lab, heard a lot of good things about these too, they are around £140.00, but they are as good a Aeromotive - does anyone have any experiences with these?

OBX, well I have a manifold from OBX and cannot fault it, really high quality. I found some reviews online, but they were from 2006 and everyone has said aviod at all costs.

Weapon R, I can't find any reviews on these ones, any experiences on here?

Sytec, seem reliable and there is a few kicking about on here, what's your opinions?

Edelbrock, from a guess, I would say these are reliable and priced well too at £90.00 - but running muscle gear on an 'import'

Blox, seen a few Honda boys winge about these, again any experiences?

Cheers in advance for your input.

I've heard a few genuine ones going wrong too, so I'm really not sure about them. Is there an UK dealers which can guarantee them?

SARD, Aeromotive, Fuel lab.,

Wouldnt go near sytec or obx personally.

Oh regarding sards going wrong, thatll be because said person probably had a fake. A few floating around unfortunately.

as above ,genuine sard are the one to go for.

just gon on sard website to confirm you have a genuine one and you should have no agro

not heard of any genuine ones going wrong at all to be honest

[Chris Green]

Cheers for the input guys - just checked RHD Japan, they have black series Sard's for £80.00 delivered.

I would be faily confident RHD Japan would have the authentic parts, plus I have never seen a fake black one.

Cheers pal, looking at this, it does not have male AN fittings?

I'm being extremely cautious this time, fed up with fuel leaks etc.

I intend on running 6AN fittings with Aeroquip hose to be on the safe side.

[mikey4410]

comes with 8mm male fitments forthe rubber hose to be pushed over and mini jubilee clipped,mines worked fine so far.no leaks

Cheers pal.

Does the 8mm hose fit snug over the the fuel return pipe, I have a few leaks from that.

[mikey4410]

if im honest it totally doesnt fit over that tight at all.

but.......i used 2 brand new mini jubilee clips and no leak whatsoever.

all works bang on.

just being honest....

Cheers for the info mate!

I might run a 8mm to a 6mm reducer just to make sure. These fuel leaks have cuased a major mess of my driveway.
