i need some knowledge regarding the fuel rail. ive bought an after market fuel pressure regulator for my turbo set up that im trying to do. i havent taken it apart yet because this is my daily driver for a while. so basicly i need to know what i can use to bolt up to the stock rail, or should i go aftermarket (if they make them for our car)??

Remove stock fpr, thread new on in. If the threading is different get some lines and fittings to make it fit.

why did you get an FPR, you really dont need one on a basic 5sfte, unless your going all out.
unless its a bolt in affair (99.9% of the ones i've seen are not) your gonna need a bunch of fittings and lines to complete the install.

which FPR did you buy?

Isn't it a banjo bolt/fitting? I know atleast on the fuel filter it is. What line are you planning on running from the fpr to the rail.

the regulator screwes right into the rail and the return line comes out of teh regulator. the easy way to do this is take off the rail and take it to a speed shop that carries XRP fittings. just find the right fitting for teh rail and runa new line the the FPR, then a new line out of the regulator to the return line.

it's probably not a good idea to do this on a daily driver because changing out certain parts can take a couple days.

ok googled what you have, your gonna have a couple ways you could set it up.

depends on what you want to do.

the fuel filter and rail are both 12X1.25 metric fittings.

you will need 6an to 12X1.25 fittings for the fuel filter and rail, 6an hose, and appropriate hose ends depending on where you locate the FPR.
im not sure on the return size for that particular one (it should say in the instructions) but a 4an push fit fitting with appropriate line, or the stock one depending on where you locate the FPR works perfectly for the return to the tank.

::edit::
looks like your also going to need a gauge to mount with it to set and monitor fuel pressure as well.

and again, just FYI, this stuff is all not needed for a 5sfte, your pretty much gonna spend a couple hundred getting this all setup, and complicate it with things that you dont really understand for no power gain at all.

why do you need to tune the fuel?

if you're going to turbo it, it would be a lot more cost effective to get a 3sgte.
if you turbo the 5s why not just get an upgraded fuel pump?

he is not gonna tune the fuel but the air to fuel ratios and map setings for best performance and 0 knock

cost effective sure 3 is better but op chose a diff route

he obviously has to upgrade fuel pump as stock one will not suffice i think you are a bit confused about this thread he is taling about the fuel press reg

you really need to step back, and research before you buy anything else.

the FPR is usless on a 5sfte.
you dont need to mess with your fuel pressure, your only gonna complicate your setup, and make a good spot for a fire to start.

540cc injectors will choke out a 5s on a stock ecu.
BTW, 3s injectors will not work on a 5s.
if you think a 5s has "rockers" you need to forget about turbos for now, and learn about your motor first.

good luck. im out.

manny's (pressure2) knows what he's talking about. he knows this sh!t like the back of his hand.
they're trying to help you by telling you one thing and you're disregarding it.




Edit: Sorry if I sound like an dick.
Whenever you ask people for help or a decision about something, you are always going to get positive and negative feedback from people.
You just have to take it all it, consider your options, and make the decision based off how you feel.
