I need help deciding which fpr to use also. I already got quoted 160 for a aem one. My parts guy can also get Megan, sard, greddy, hks and some other companies. He cant get aeromotive. I also need help deciding which one to get. I want one that I can rebuild in the future. Any recomendations?
Where did you find a $30 unit? I would wonder why all other companie are over 100, and the ebay special is $30

you have a link to your $30 fpr? I would honestly not use or trust it. I checked up on ebay and saw a few of the fpr available. $30 for gauge and fpr!!!!!!
Im going with sard possibley. If you want. Im selling a vortech unti that raises fuel pressure under load https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hlight=vortech. It is used in conjuncion with the stock fpr

B&M makes one that is supposed to fit Hondas and Acuras that replaces the top portion of the stock one and is adjustable. They are about $50. I've had good luck with them on 2 cars running Megasquirts.
Here is the thread that has the part number and picture.

Oh sweet, do you have pictures?
now would this also act like a fuel pulsation dampener? Im really wondering about people that have had problems dissconnecting hte pulsation dampener. My buddy was telling me an aftermarket fuel pump I have might help me out and I might not need a fuel pulsation dampener.
I am barely going to start working again very soon, so right now I am broke. Even then, I dont want to spend too much on my fuel system, I know it can really add up after all the fittings.
I jsut found a great thread doing a search, on the first page too https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ation+dampener

Spend the money where it should be spent. Cheap out on something else like a BOV. Spend the money on a good FPR as it's a critical part of the fuel system. If the diaphram breaks, it will shoot fuel everywhere. If it's action is not smooth, you will get erratic pressure. I can tell just by looking at the fittings that the two regulators you linked to are made in China.

Have you ever heard of these things? http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...p=31&cat_key=5
I have it as a spare part when I bought a used project car 2 years ago, I was thinking about adding a dampener and jsut using that with my stock fpr.
Darnit, I might be able ot get a good deal on a sard fpr, but I'm just curious, what do you think?
