Hi all,

any of you boffins got any advice on installing a Fuel Pressure Regulator?

I'd welcome any recommendations on brand as well as if a pressure gauge is necessary to complete the install.

Also some pics of brackets for the regulator would be bitchin'.

cheers

my recommendation is to leave it alone....

no need to fix whats not broken!

std reg is good for 300kw at least

From this thread on the same topic (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54345&highlight=fpr):


It really isn't hard. Stand in front of your engine bay, at the right hand end of the front fuel rail you will see the factory fuel pressure regulator, then a hose which is the fuel return line. It also has a vacuum hose which goes from the top of the fuel pressure regulator to the plennum chamber, just after the T/B

So to install an aftermarket one follow these steps:

1. decide where you are going to mount your new FPR (where it will look best!!! but away from anything that gets really hot is a good idea)
2. depressurize the fuel system by disconnecting the fuel pump relay, then attempting to start the car about a dozen times
3. remove factory fuel pressure regulator from the fuel rail
4. install adaptor to the end of the fuel rail where you previously removed the fuel pressure regulator from
5. attach high pressure hose (should come with the isotta FPR) to the adaptor at one end, and the inlet of the isotta FPR at the other end
6. attach the fuel return line which was previously attached to the factory FPR to the outlet of the isotta FPR
7. attach the vacuum line which was previously attached to the factory FPR to the isotta FPR.
8. reconnect fuel pump relay, start car, adjust fuel pressure if applicable, then you're done.

I think that pretty much covers it. Once finished - let it idle for a while, keeping an eye out for any signs of fuel leaking, or the smell of fuel after it has been idling for some time.

Hey Blackbeard!

Sounds like you got one sweet ride.

Any pics? What mods did you do yourself?

Have a Happy New Year's!

Hey Wylcard!

It's alright for a Magna I guess :redface:

Don't want to clog up this thread to much but you'll find some pics here, (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39241)and here. (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showpost.php?p=566857&postcount=261)

Some of the mods I installed myself include the RPW K&N CAI kit, Fuel Pressure Reg, Intake manifold, thermal gaskets, Barry's kits and rear muffler.
