Fuel system questions again!!!
I wanna change all my fuel lines to braided lines and A/N fittings in the engine bay.. Not really planning on redoing the lines to the tank. Question is....
I was thinking of the SX fuel press regulator.. but isn't it a 1:1 type.. meaning if you run 14psi of boost you set you FPR to your max boost? So for every pound of boost you get a pound of fuel pressure.. or something like that. Is this a good FPR to get? Is it tunable throughout idle to max boost?
Or should I just get a Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator?
Any benefits, pros or cons on either or?
I plan to run Intake, DP, MP, Exhaust, FMIC, non-seq and Power FC.. oh and street port... with the intent to go single turbo in the near future.
Thanks

Jay,
I assume you are talking about an adjustable ratio rising rate regulator compared to a 1:1 rising rate regulator with adjustable base pressure.
If you are using a PFC, there is no need to get an adjustable ratio rising rate regulator. You will not be using the regulator to do the tuning, you will be using the PFC. If you were using a remapped stock ECU, I would suggest the adjustable ratio regulator. In this case, you may need to adjust the regulator for optimal air fuel since you can't adjust the maps of the computer. In other words don't waste your money on an adjustable ratio regulator when the 1:1 reg will work just fine.
Want2race- I'm not trying to be offensive towards you but how can you just make a recommendation wthout giving a reason. I am curious as to why you recommended that Jay should go with the adjustable ratio reg as opposed to just getting a 1:1 reg with adjustable base pressure?
