Anthony Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Guys, grateful for your help. SBD want 240+ Del + VAT for a pressure regulator. What does everybody else use please ? Anthony VX the real way sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix.klauser Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Seems a bit steep. Presumably this is for an injected car... is that the price for a pump *and* a regulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 WHAT???? I was offered an adjustable FPR and rail for around 40-something quid off a fellow BlatChatter. It was new and unused too. I'm certain he paid no more than 60 quid for the same thing. Even Tweeky Demons sell them for around 60-ish squid. Methinks there's something above and beyond just an FPR on offer here.

stevefoster Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I recently bought a nearly new 2nd hand one for £35 (larger type). New price is about ~£60. My racing pics, 7 DIY, race prep.

Anthony Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Hi Guys Yes this is just a FPR, not a pump and excludes a filter ! If everyone uses a filter king that will work for me Anthony VX the real way sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Yes, i thought that was a bit steep! mind you it is the dogs danglers oh and dont forget the little pressure gauge. Power Freak member! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Phillips Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Pressure gauges have a habit of unscrewing themselves with high revving engines. For 43PSI we used a Filter King. The tuners had no problem setting it accurately. Racing pics and items for sale here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Thanks Trevor, Guage will be on stack. I was just interested as to whether it was a major advantage Peter, did yours come with one ? Anthony VX the real way sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16vastra Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 i run the sbd black top fse with the gauge (which hasnt unscrewed itself, maybe you mean revving over 8k or summat) fse is 70 quid, gauge 15 then postage i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Anthony, i have not bought one yet! As i think there is better value for money elsewhere What fuel pressure have you been recommended?

Chelspeed Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 SBD do a range of fuel pressure regulators. The top of the range regulator does cost this sort of money but thats good for 280bhp+, it's a red and blue alloy job from SX Performance. No doubt 40 quid for the regulator and 200 quid for the pretty anodising. They also do other regulators from FSE for a lot less cash which are suitable for other engine tunes. What power are you making and did you make this clear when talking to SBD? Have you tried their webpage http://www.sbdev.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 This regulator is a complete waste of money. The FSE regulator which has the double bellow (costs around £70) is quite adequate. Works fine on my engine which runs 65psi on the fuel rail, with no load dependent instability of pressure.

edmandsd Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Anthony I simply run a 2wd Cosworth Sierra regulator at around £40 plus Vat and likewise re the fuel pump at around £90 plus Vat..................I think you could be wasting a lot of money here if you're not careful. When I was running green injectors at max duty we had the fuel pressure set at 5 bar...and I had no problems with this set up. I'm now on greys with a lot less pressure.
