I will be getting a universal adjustable FPR soon, and prior to installing it, how do I hollow out the stock FPR??

 

With a drill bit that fits inside the inlet and outlet ports. Drill in through the inlet, then through the outlet (or vice-versa). You will create a connecting passageway through the guts of the fpr.

Make sure you get all the chips out before installing.

 

or just by the nipple adaptor.

 

or just buy a 100$ nismo FPR

bolts right up in the stock location

 

I haven't planned on hollowing out the fpr nor was I planning to buy an adjustable fpr. Is it really necessary to drill out the fpr?

 

Well you can either drill out the stock one and reinstall it or just get a stand off fitting off the fuel rail that will feed your adjustable FPR...Its good to have due because the Walbro raises base fuel pressure

If you're not getting an adjustable fpr then you need to keep the oem fpr as is. This is just a way of converting the oem fpr into a standoff fitting.

 

Did mine on wed. Take a drill bit (as stated above) and "carefully" drill out the inlet and outlet of the stock FPR *clean it out* THen, Re-install it... run the fuel line from the outlet to your new FPR then back to the tank. Your just using the stock FPR as a fitting to the fuel rail. It will no longer serve as a regulator just a passageway to the new FPR. "See the thread on StockGN Intercooler" if you want to see a pic of my FPR install. I can take more pics if you need. Just e-mail me.

sweet, i presume you have done this. i was thinking about using the nismo fpr, but wasn't sure if it fit our vq. so that is good news, thank you my brother, and if you have a pic, i want to peep it out.

 

yes i have this but its on my VE engine although i bet it will work on your VQ unfortuanitly i dont have a pic yet because i have only had it installed for about 1 week but it does everything i need it to do

 

theres not enough space, i already test fitted one.

 

but does it fit the fuel rail ? thanks, hoss.

 

yeah, it fits perfect in the fuel rail, theres just not that much space beneath the throttle body.

 

thanks for the info, your a big help. my man. lol

 

thank god i finaly know i can use a stand off fitting from a VQ on my VE ive been wanting to know this for a long time

 

there you go!

Its the same on the rb and sr engines too
