Does anyonw know where i can find a good adjustable fuel pressure regulator for an 85 -SE...13b egi

 

Get a Holley 1-5psi regulator. That's what I have and works great.

 

EFI means that you're going to need a fuel pressure regulator good for up to 50-60psi. You can check with some of the on-line retailers, and possibly with the 2nd Gen forum guys, as they are all using EFI in the later generation cars.

Are you having a flooding problem with your 13B RE-EGI motor, or just trying to make sure that you're getting good consistent fuel pressure at the injectors?

 

oops

 

the problem is flooding and i've tried everything else...just want something that i can also use later with mods

Possibly injectors as well.

Good luck

 

Have you checked the fuel pressure and found something wrong? IMO a new fuel pressure regulator is unlikely to do jack squat to eliminate flooding. The problem is usually leaky injectors or not running the car until its warmed up. In fact I bet a FPR would only make it worse, because they typically hold rail pressure longer after the pump shuts off than the stock one.

Unless future mods include a massive turbo, save your money -- don't buy an FPR.

 

Fuel cutoff switch will keep you out of trouble for a while but the real reason needs to be dealt with eventually ( ie injectors).



If ya gotta spend the 125+ dollars to feel better though Summit is the place.

 

You need to buy a good high pressure fuel tester, and see what your fuel pressure is. The factory manual does a excellent job of explaining what the fuel pressure should be with and without the regulator.

My bet will be on bad injector(s), but do the testing to verify a problem instead of wasting a lot of money by being a parts changer.

I'm having the same problem with flooding and I just priced the pressure regulator from Mazda and it is
$ 148.00. I'm considering replacing it with a aftermarket unit, but what problems can I expect?

 

well...it has 17800 on stock injectors and regulator and sat for 2 years i havi it torn apart and was going to change all the vacume lines fuel lines injectors and regulator, i was just wanting to find a good fit adjustable regulator...adjustable

 

we use the malpassi regulators, adjustable from 15psi to 70odd psi, they are worth $210au or about $150us,
