hey all just hoping to get a bit of advice as to how I should be fitting my sard adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I have been looking on google and through forums and haven't been able to find anyone who has installed one of these on a stagea.

so basically I was wondering if anybody has pictures of their set up or somebody elses on an rb25 neo motor, and maybe even one that's in a stagea.

any help is appreciated.

cheers, Michael

p.s I have already been advised to sell it and go nismo but that's not an option as I've spent too much already waiting on shipped items and need this done soon

this is the last mod I will be doing before I get a tune so yes I will be tuning it soon, I have a gauge so once I install it I was just going to adjust it to run standard pressure or slightly higher depending on hoe the car runs until I get it to the tuners.

there's an adapter that I have to fit in place of the original regulator then run a hose the the sard regulator, not sure where I can mount it where it will still be easily accessible.

and there are three parts that all look like the regulator I have to remove, and I don't have a workshop manual to verify which parts are which and i'd much rather not wing it

i'm going to fit it anyway seeing as I have already bought everything I need to fit it, just want to know if anyone has photos of their own set up or anything like that as I can't find any.

just finished fitting a return flow cooler this week so having trouble fitting anything isn't what i'm worried about, I just want to be sure I get it right

So that woukd be this on I marked with white out then? post-112770-13930333818117_thumb.jpg if that's what I am removing what fo I do with the hose that goes underneath the intake manifold? If I put the adapter in place of the reg there then that hose goes nowhere.

It really depends on the modifications as to whether an fpr is needed, correct? Like a different fuel rail?

Most old cars ran an fpr, is this because of the older tuning styles and software that were available?

The guy who imported my car in '07 told me his next step was using an fpr.

Stock FPR and fuel rail is good for at least 400kw so it should not be high on your list for replacement - it is not a performance mod.

Just to clarify the tuner didn't recommend the fpr I told him I had one and he said it would help with fuel pressure. Anyone want a sard fpr with fittings then? I'll call the tuner again tomorrow and give him an uo to date list of mods and see what he thinks.

    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
