FPR Suggestions? Boost Dependant? Rising Rate?
What do you guys suggest for a Fuel Pressure Regulator....
I need one shortly and was wondering which one you guys find works best, i was told to look into a rising rate FPR?... Thanx!... |
"Rising rate" normally implies a higher ratio than 1:1.
Even at 2:1, at 15psi, the RRFPR is trying to keep the rail pressure at 30psi + 40psi = 70psi! Most of the RRFPR's are higher than 2:1. Get a 1:1 FPR and call it a day. That's what the stock unit runs at. -Ted |
It's a popular low budget mod in Australia.
If your planning to stay within the 12PSI practical limit of the TMIC, an adjustable RRFPR with a rewired 255LPH pump will allow some tuning. |
i'm planning on going full stand alone on a race-ported engine with an HKS T04R turbo....
NOW, which do you guys suggest.... :P |
Stick with a "boost dependent" FPR that's 1:1 ratio...
-Ted |
Like Ted said.
Go with a 1:1 FPR & do the tuning with the stand alone. -Bill |
Aeromotive A-1000 1:1 FPR gives you what you need
|
what exactly is a 1:1 FPR?...
|
its a ratio.
Actually its pretty self-explanitory. Its a 1:1 rising fuel pressure regulator. Meaning your fuel pressure will raise from its base pressure 1X for every 1X of manifold pressure. (because it gets its signal from the vac/boost of the engine) |
so basically get a 1:1 FPR and call it a day like everyone's been saying?...
but, there's a normal FPR and a rising one?, or i should ask.... is a "rising FPR" different?... |
what about the PD elimination?
do "certain" FPR come with built in PD's? im running the parallel setup VIA REted's page and i was wondering about htis?? sorry to thread jack. if there are certain ones, which one to get?? aeromotive? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...part=AEI-13109 |
The standard is that "boost dependent" = 1:1 and "rising rate" is anything higher - like 2.5:1, 5:1, 7:1, 10:1, etc.
Most people will use those terms like that. You don't want a rising rate FPR, cause it puts too much strain in the fuel pump. Most fuel pumps don't like going over 70psi or so. Your T04R is a waste to run under 15psi. :D -Ted |
soooooooo, what your saying is to get a nice "boost dependent" FPR, like the Aeromotive, correct?...
i was told to get one that adapts an 5/16 fuel hose/line, with the Aeromotive one 88rxn/a had posted with a link, would that one work, or are -an fittings a whole other ball game?... |
Yep, I prefer the SX unit myself.
The SX FPR uses -6 AN fittings, so it adapts well if you're using all -6 AN hoses and fittings. The Aeromotive unit is very similar. -Ted |
but if it has -an fittings, can i use hose with barb fittings, or?...

I've seen write-up's for them in here somewhere... _Ted |
What's a barb fitting adapters?
