FPR (fuel pressure regulator) replacement info
To clear up FPR questions:
We have 1 stock FPR, on the return line, replace this one.
(The regulator on the fuel pump side is a pulse regulator; all it does is stop fuel spikes; leave it alone.)
SARD makes a nice universal adjustable aftermarket FPR that works. It will mount nicely where in one of your stock airbox bolt holes (if you have and aftermarket air intake).
Contact sx7r for the FPR ($130), and the off-fittment kit ($15).
The SARD has a FP gauge port* (with an allen plug), but it is 1/8 BSPT and most gauges are 1/8 NPT. Order an adaptor piece from Summit, part number 2269 ($10), and which ever FP gauge you want. Go with one that goes past 100psi. These can be purchased for less than $50.
---MORE---
2nd Gauge Option*: A t-fitting (Summit part# SUM-G1710 @ $5.99), inserted anywhere in the fuel rail, with any standard pressure gauge ($20). Most shops will have these fittings and guauges available. The SARD guage port will NOT be used in this setup.
SARD install: You will need to disrupt the orginal fuel rail line, for two reasons: one the stock is mounted to the fuel rail and the SARD will not mount in the same position, and two the required use of the offfitting requires fuel line manipulation. So, some extra fuel line will be needed, as the mounting will most likely not be in the same location, and the offfittings will be installed.
Also, if you go the inline gauge method (above), some line cutting will be done.
You want to install it so that the bottom on the SARD goes to the return line, and the side port goes to the fuel rail.
Fuel pressure adjustment is achieved by loosening the 13mm lock nut and then moving the vaccuum port stack up and down by turning the 10mm nut. Counter-clockwise (loosen) = fuel pressure drop, clockwise (tighten) = fuel pressure rise.
*In either gauge setup a fuel pressure guage with an electronic send could be utilized to incorporate a cockpit mounted gauge.
