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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
