I've done this now with a spare standard fuel pressure regulator. I've chopped everything off, besides the plate itself which bolts to the fuel rail.
Now that I Have it, Is it safe, and/or possible to tap a thread into the end and put a fitting there to allow it to be an "adaptor" to a adjustable fuel pressure regulator?

I really do not want to fork out $70 on a SARD fuel rail adapter which is basically what I've made, but blue, and with a thread.

I have another version of an adaptor hopefully coming soon but I just want to experiment.

Ideas, Thoughts welcome, please no BS.

Provided it maintains its integrity there's no reason why you can't use a setup like that, you don't have to have off-the-shelf fittings for every part of your car, some of the best stuff is rigged up custom... yo.

Yeah.......In all honestly I wouldnt mind paying the $50 to get it, but they want $20 postage, gtfo.
So did this, I'll try and get a fitting for it on monday or tuesday.
On that note, I know how to make threads with a tap and die set, but how would you do it for a NPST thread (I think it's called that, still learning my thread size's) The thread which tapers towards the end.

Provided it can handle the pressure i cant see why not, or if you know anyone with machining skillz, get one milled up.

Well, another stupid question is, "who" would be able to tell me if it could handle the pressure by looking at it?
I'll post up a pic tonight. Not a bad effort I must say!
Any thoughts on the thread issue?

Pictures of what I can do with an angle grinder lol

Any metal engineering shop worth there salt should be able to, will need to handle say up to 70psi give or take, yes thats probably a tad overkill but yeah its a fueling system, no point taking chances.

just get som1 to weld on a taper fitting. goto a fittings supplier, get a fitting to suit the reg and get them to weld that to you plate the fits the rail, much simpler.:D

no this is so you dont spend mega bucks buying custom lines for the turbos when you put em on....:bowrofl:




if, when, eva?lol

No go mate, the fitting with the "O: ring is silver soldered onto the plate

What I do is silver solder the fitting onto the plate, same idea, no thread

I have one in the garage somewhere, will try and dig it out and post the pic up

In relation to this though, you can use the aftermarket FPR after the std one as you are running higher pressure anyway, just make sure you use EFI fuel hose and CLAMPS or you will have fire and fail

Another benefit of this is that the after market FPR's are not well known for holding pressure so will make initial start up easier as well

Thats providing he ever gets it started :bowrofl:

i jk's

Tuff you could probably get one made up easily enough wouldnt be a tough job i wouldnt think

Enzed will do them generally also, would only charge a few bucks one would think

Cheers mate I'll give enzed a yell. Interesting to note I can use the stock FPR aswell, But wouldn't I need to Tee a vacuum to it aswell as the AFPR?

Thanks for the suggestions though :)
