Sard Or Nismo Fuel Reg

[rio228]

Just after general thoughts.

[tridentt150v]

Bigger injectors and a decent pump................you don't need a FPR

[rio228]

This is what a good mate of mine says, (he has one tho)

Hitman said its a must. (He seems to know his stuff, very happy with SAFCII tune he did.)

me confused....

getting walbro as part of this upgrade.

I say get the Nismo. Sits in the factory FPR position so no adaptors or fuel line needed and doesn't attract unwanted attention.

I have the SARD

[HypeR33]

I've got the Sard...nothing wrong with it at all

[Yawn]

Yeah im with tridentt150v, IMO its not really necessary with the right injectors and fuel pump.

[R31Nismoid]

As above.

I used the stock reg upto 370rwkw, as i selected the right injectors for the power, so the stock reg doesnt need replacement

[wolverine]

on the other hand if he is looking for a safety margin on injectors that are near their limits it's cheap insurance.

[heller44]

..or if the stocker is stuffed, as mine was (diaphram torn).

Nismo fpr, so easy to bolt in even a monkey could do it. Looks almost stock.

[sewid]

Unless you're replacing the fuel rail I'd stick with the Nismo.

Of course it is unlikely you actually need a FPR.

[The Mafia]

well, I run 300rwkw.

Walboro pumps aren't good for that or more, so I dropped the Nismo Fuel pump in (took about 6 minutes) and already have Nismo 555cc injectiors.

Stock FPR is fin up to 370rwkw as R31nismoid said, but if you really must go to another FPR, do it when you're looking for beyond 350rwkw and get a nismo.

If you think you need one for under 350rwkw on any setup, then you're kidding yourself.

[Cubes]

Depends on the setup.

The adj fpr is VERY usefull if you have an SAFC and wish to squeeze a little more out of the stock ecu.

I run a nismo fpr as I suspected the std one was playing up + come dyno time if I require a little more out of the injectors its easy enough to do.

Interesting enough the very occasional random lean/surge I was getting has completely disappeared since I fitted the nismo fpr and had it tuned up again.

[r33cruiser]

hey mate, some of these ppl are set in their ways so its a bit hard for a balanced discussion.

i cant talk about sard

but i have a nismo fpr, and it works a treat.

it is definitely a must man, that is an ADJUSTABLE item

its just a piece of mind thing. if my tuner want to increase or decrease pressure, they can

[rio228]

Ok

Im going with the Nismo Reg and the Walbro pump from Slide.

Having the reg as insurance is fine by me.

Injectors would be nice but the $$ are enought as is.

$1250 Power FC

$340ish Pump & Reg

$500 Hitman tune.

$900 Injector is just to much as far as the misses thinks......

Thanks for everyone thoughts.

[WARLORD]

sard ,im happy with it .

[lineskee 33]

+1 for the sard fuel reg, bought mine today so i havent got an opinion on its performance just yet. Because my car is in bits at the moment. But i havent heard anything bad about them

[The Mafia]

it amazes me the amount of people that think you can just install a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator and get instant power increase

Seriously, are people that stupid?

Its a NEED thing. If you need to increase your fuel pressure for some stupid reason, then you get one.

But other than that, you don't need one, and installing one for no reason will make absolutely no difference.

[PHaT MR30]

off topic, but can you get a fitting that goes in place of the stock fpr to a barbed fitting?

I "THINK" Turbosmart may have made them, but not on their site.

[noone]

would of thought if you had a 32 and a stock reg possibly 18 years old it would be very cheap insurance to know it is working 100%

just my 2c

an the reason I brought a nismo

however the sard may be a better choice if you plan to run a fuel pressure gauge as it has ports to attach the sensor straight to the reg

[Cubes]

Thats exactly what I figured. It did appear to fix the occasional lean issue I was having.
