Sard Fuel Pressure Regulator Help

[picklesRs4]

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

Are you about to tune the car?

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

[picklesRs4]

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.

What's wrong with the stock one?

[picklesRs4]

nothing wrong with it I just want the adjustability and the tuner I spoke to at chasers said as i'm going for higher power it will help having higher pressure in the rail

[MagicMikeZ32]

It should connect exactly the same way as the stock one. Line in, line out and a vac hose.

[picklesRs4]

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

Sounds like it's mire trouble than its worth. It's not required.

[picklesRs4]

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

[scotty nm35]

There is one regulator and two fuel dampeners, the reg is the one on the return side of the rail.

[picklesRs4]

So that woukd be this on I marked with white out then? 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.

Tuner sounds dodgy. Sell it and spend the money on a new pump.

[picklesRs4]

I have a walbro 255lph pump in there now

[Ben C34]

The thing is there is a point to fitting the intercooler, but no point in the pressure regulator. Best option is sell it.

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.

[picklesRs4]

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.
