Stillen fuel pressure riser

Has anybody installed this in their Maximas? What kind of mods do you have?
I had one installed in my 94 Accord and it help alot, i have iceman intake, DC header and Greddy exhaust, so would this also work in a Maxima if I install an Injen intake, Stillen y-pipe and a catback exhaust system (haven't decided what brand)?

My friend who owns a Gen 2 Integra just told me about this little device. I have never heard of it previously. And when I do a search, this is the only post came up. So, anyone have this mod too? I heard too that it works great on (ahm ahm) Honda's. But then it could be like the whole header thing with Max, it does pretty much nothing.

Where in Stillen site did you see this mod? I couldn't find it.

I've had this in our 94 Accord since 1996. So it's been there for about 6 years now. I have not seen this product on the Stillen website lately. must have not been a good seller.

IT's in their catalog in the back; not in the Maxima section. I've recently been wondering about this product too.

Yep, that's it. I did a search for fuel and pressure and riser and got several threads but they really didn't shed any light on whether I'd want one or not. Most of the threads were relating to SCs or NOSed Maxes. I'm neither, I'm SU




superunderpowered. hehe

How much is it when new?

So, no body knows if there's any benefit??? If there is any, I'll get it, it's Stillen!

That was fast repsponse. I was editing my last post and you were all ready replying to it. I don't know what it costs or if it works on Maximas. I've been thinking lately that my car may be running a little lean/hot. SO I thought this may be of some interest to me.

SU! that's funny! You can be SU club member #1!!!

Yeah, I know they worked wonders for Honda's... but if the price is right, I'll get it, just to see if it makes any difference. It's just a plug-in thing, right?

A friend found something interesting from an Integra forum....

Beware of leaning or riching up your a/f mixture. I would leave the FPR tuning up to a dyno. Its a fun toy, but you can always hurt performance by inexperience tuning of it. Get a fuel pressure gauge to check the fuel pressure before install, and then bump it up a few PSI when the FPR installed. If you don't like it go back to original PSI of the fuel pressure before FPR was installed. Play with it! You could gain an extra one mpg, if tuned right. It has to be tweeked just right. Remember the ECU is still controlling the spray of fuel into your combustion chamber.

The Fuel Pressure Riser that came with my Stillen SC kit is basically the Vortech FMU:

I didn't know Stillen made their own stuff?

That's a different device than what we are talking about. I think that is a FMU fuel management unit? What we're looking at is called a fuel pressure riser. I'm sure they probably do similar things but I know you need the FMU w/ the SC.

It's basically the same theory just in a smaller form. It's more like the new fuel regulator that aem came out with for the Hondas
