Fuel pressure Regulator...

[vtecroadhog]

Hi all, going to fit all the following bits this comming month...

Spoon 70mm t/b (still to decide weather fitting or not ),
Mugen intake,
Excedy stage 2 clutch,
Excedy 10lb flywheel,
Spoon mounts...

already hve 4-1 Mugen style header (hopefully soon replacing for 4-2-1 5Zigen),
De-cat,
Spoon b-pipe,
Spoon Street type back box...

Now, i was thinking on fitting a Fuel Pressure Regulator too, iam not 100% on what this does but i hve an idea. This should allow me regulate the amount of fuel the engine is now on, after these after market items hve all been fitted alterating stock setup...as it has a dial witht he corresponding pressure.

Hve any of you fitted this to their motors..? pls can i hve some feedback on this item as iam soon fitting all @ long last!!!

Why the doubt over the Spoon 70mm tb? Do you have an aftermarket inlet manifold? (In the same boat about the regulator so cant help there!)

if you have stock injectors then get a fuel pump and regulator if you have aftermarket fuel pump and injectors AND something to tune with then you dont need a regulator.

would i really need one..? if i just fit pressure regulator, would stock pump hold or be enough... as i reackon stock pump has some margin to regulate true?

take to account light mods on me B16A2...

the ebay link to a pump was useful to see description of pump + installation bits... however they only ship USA.
found SARD pump which i could purchase + ship together with regulator...

ive been told to purchase a wideband sensor to help me tune for better gains! any one hve this?

[blinx9900]

[crazy eyes]

what sort of gains would this give. would it require a remap to take full advantage

fpr does not really help you gain hp on its own, its just to control fuel pressure which is an important part of tunning...

Yeh if the inlet size of the TB is 60-62mm, then it's fine for a B16. Just don't go bigger than 62mm on the inlet, SPOON TB seems to promote top end flow.

i never got round to fit my Spoon 70mm T/B, decided to stick with my stock 60mm one... however swapped it with my m8's DC2 T/B (62mm) instead!

soon will b fitting the sard fpr, vibrant 4-2-1, itr 62mm t/b, & hoping for a better responce @ low rpm too (daily drive)... not too happy with current performance!

anybody hve a link to the purpose of the wideband sensor!!! any recommendation..?
