VT Fuel pump and Pressure Reg. ?

What do you all run in your 1st gen for Pump and regulator? PSI pump? reg? I have read 8-9PSI pump with 3-4PSI reg?

Here's a thread on the upgrade: https://www.rx7club.com//showthread.php?t=529605

Actual part numbers are now missing from that writeup, but search for "Carter fuel pump part number" in the 1st gen section and you will find the info you need.

Good luck...

Thanks again. Now the next question. If the carter puts out say 9 psi and the FPR cuts it to 2-4 why not just purchase a Carter which pushes 3.5-5? Can this negate the use of a FPR? or at least cut un-necassary burnout on the 9psi pump? Thoughts? I found a Carter low pressure pump in-line. It has to be better for my car than the retarded monkey mechanic who toggled an in-line pump. Appears to be no filter. Gotta post pics of the job done by a "professional" mechanic.
