Got the FPR installed today... had a custom adaptor built as the magnas we found out, DO not run the 2 basic adaptors that are the most common ones in Mitsubishi....

So I was asked by my friend what shape I want the adaptor to be, I said ROUND? :oops: .. So he did it round in aluminium... shiny and light :D

Excellent - looking good mate - now you have gauges under the bonnet to look at - handy!! haha

would it not have been better to have it in the car?? or is it best under the hood?

What fuel pressure are you running it at idle?? Work better for the cams??

Doesn't really matter where u want the gauge, there is a kit for the gauge to sit inside the car but I reckon it looks cool under the bonnet :D

Right now it's regulated @ 42 PSI warmed, but it goes up to 50psi if I floor the car...The picture shows the PSI under load which reads 52psi

very nice and clean job. what are its advantages?

Why did you not attach the FPR to that nice piece of machining instead having to use a long length of high-pressure fuel line and the risk it could be cut or blow off. I plan to do this with mine.

So, does that mean that it varies while your driving or do you have to set that before starting the engine? I understand what these are for, just trying to work out how they function.

Well, it's mounted there for the sake of aesthetics really :D Just wanna be able to see the gold thing in the bonnet with the glycerine gauge :p

I set the PSI at idle but as I push the car, more pressure is set automatically... basically the function of a FPR is to just allow you to control the PSI of the fuel... it's kinda hard to explain but always REMEMBER, it's not giving you any more HP.... I'll grab a video of the FPR in action and post it in...
:)

There is a couple of reason you want these regulators, The standard Mitsubishi one pumps 38psi at idle, you really want a little more than that around 45psi, then the standard regulator is made to meet emissions standards so that when you flatten you rfoot the rising rate of the regulator is slow enough not to get to much fuel into the injectors and as such have a much cleaner exuast, problem is not enough fuel cause a slight lean out and a drop in power as you take off, causing the flat spot all EFI cars have at take off, By having a regulator that rising in pressure much faster than the standard one, when you flatten your foot there is more fuel at the injectors. no lean spot and instant throttle response, You don't get more HP but you get a mush quicker throttle repsonse to your right foot. Has to contribute to the fun factor

to route a oil or petrol gauge into the cabin you need one with an electronic sender ... rather then having 100psi worth of piping hot oil in a pipe right in your face it somthing goes wrong your face is never going to look the same and with petrol the fire hazard is just as great :badgrin:

besides we dont want to get to ricey with 50 gauges in the dash

Oil pressure guagee in a car is fine, I ran them for years and never once had a problem as they were properly installed.
Fuel pressure is not only silly but also illegal as it is too flamable.
As for the mounting, if the line is clamped and secured properly it makes no difference to the line running from the fuel filter to the fuel rail. Add to this why have a reg in a tight corner on a hot engine?
