Default OBX FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

This is a review on a adjustable regulator from Ebay. be sure to check the DIAPHRAM. I instaled mine without thinking about the diaphram.

Product: OBX FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
Distributor: OBX
Vehicle: 1995 Civic EX Coupe
Cost: $105 shipped
Installation: some what hard
Installation Time: about two hours. mounting regulator to rail takes some fabing. holes dont line up. had to drill and tap new hole. Take off old fuel rail. Puting injectors in new rail. Reinstalling rail to motor.

Review: I would not recomend buying this part.
I installed the part to my car and the first thing that happend was fuel came out of the facuum hose. Took every thing back apart and took apart the reulator to find the diaphram crammed in there, torn all to crap.

? Still makes no sense.....You need to get your car tuned, and they dont need an aftermarket fuel regulator to do so.

on "Petes Turbo Grocery List" there is the FMU on there. That is the same one i just got.
Im just going by the list.

So what do you think i should get? (remember CHEAP home made kit)

I talked to the local tuning shop, he too said i need the FMU to tune the car.


what ratio FMU should i get?

im only going to run 6 lbs of boost with the t25.

I bought a AEM Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator and I actually recently installed it. I had the same problem with the bolts as you but I ordered the right one with a triangular shape base plate. I was able then to turn up the volume of psi being dumped into the rail. My stock fuel pump was surprisingly able to push 60psi but the needle was shaking so I turned it down to 50psi. I recommend this product and you should buy a gauge seperate from the regulator. Just my opinion.

What about the AEROMOTIVE FUEL REGULATOR ?
Is it pretty good? My friend has one for sale for 175.00.

you baught a fpr (fuel pressure regulator)

an fmu (fuel managment unit)

an fmu rises fuel pressure when it sees boost, a fpr keeps the same fuel pressure no mater what rpm or boost you are at

this is a fmu:
