Chris Green Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Genuine sards at the tits 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
