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.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
