do I need a FPR with a walboro?

I recently upgraded to a walboro 255lph pump havent installed yet wondering if I need to use a fuel pressure regulator with this or will the return line take care of this for me?

hmmm how long? I wouldn't think it would last as long. I think it would be safer to just get a FPR and ditch the PD.

yes, you are right. it would be a much better idea to do that but since i just unloaded on a microtech im kinda poor now. so far I have put about 2000 miles on that PD with the 255 wired 12v. If Iwere able to do it right now I would rip it off before it burns my car to the ground.

Is that a turbo or an non-turbo?
---If its a N/A then you shouldnt need any more fuel than stock. You will actually benifit the most by leaning down the stock fuel mixture.




BG or Barry Grant makes a nice one or two.

You can try the setup described here: http://www.fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/FUEL/fsystem.htm

Though probably overkill if staying NA.

A walbro with good voltage will over run the stock fpr a little bit...bad for gas mpg but ok to use.
