fuel pressure reg.
Wednesday, February 22, 2006 3:53 PM
Does anyone know to install a fuel pressure regulator on a 2.2 I got it from rksport a while back but no luck installing it and yes it did come with instructions but there not very clear any ideas ?

I can't help you with instructions but may I ask why you need a fuel pressure regulator?

Eh... based on your profile, you're not at all in need of a FPR, like NJHK's saying. I'm assuming it's the "Fuel Pressure Riser" as RK Sport calls it on their website? Whether it is or not, you don't need fuel upgrades as of now. Stock fuel system can handle way more than you've got right now.

Also snooping around your profile, I see you've got Venom injectors, right? Are those the ones that are "10% above stock flow"? Not a good idea. If anything, they're just making you run way too rich... I think my logic is right. Were you hoping that the RK Sport FPR would be able to help keep that under control and lean it out? Perhaps a better idea would be to get back to stock injectors for now, and once your car is actually in need or could benefit from fuel mods (like the nitrous or turbo you have listed under Future Mods), pick up a nice set of RC Engineering injectors or some other quality brand.

And something that really didsturbs me... I see you've also got the Venom 400 module. We run into n00bs with the Venom and Jet modules here at so much it's not even comical anymore. Those things are worthless. They do exactly nothing for you, and could only do more harm than good. They are one of the most expensive gimmicks out there. Please get rid of that before you regret it. A simple search around the Performance and Newbies forums will tell you EXACTLY why these things are the suck.

I'm willing to bet the oversized Venom injectors and the Venom module have actually pulled your performance down a fair amount... as well as goven you worse gas mileage. Adding this FPR is not the answer.

Maybe we could have a better description of why you want an FPR so soon?

thanks for the info yes i did take out the injectors cuz it started running funny as far as the venom performance module i really do use it much just when i'm fooling around town. and yes with all the mods i do have i expect much hp but for some reason i'm losing some some where and i'm putting Zex nit. kit on and everyone tells me i need a fuel press reg. but yes it is a fuel press riser from rksport. oh and thanks for the compliment thanks

The 2.0 Manifold will not work on a 2.2

If you're under the impression that you've got fuel problems now, I'd hold off on that turbo / nitrous idea till you get it all sorted out. Seems the last thing you need with a turbo / nitrous install is poor fuel delivery. I'm sure somewhere out there you'll find a manifold that will accept that turbo since the 2.0 mani. won't fit. I couldn't tell you which to use, I'm still learning that kind of stuff myself. From what I gather, the fact that the turbo is old isn't necessarily a deal-breaker, but it should be given plenty of TLC at the least, possibly a rebuild. Someone else will know more about that though....

when refering to nitrous, call it nitrous not nos. you sound like a tool.
but when refering to a brand of nitrous, say Zex, NX, etc etc

Atleast you used the search button...

Way to contribute to an uber old, uber dead post though, I'm sure that will help a lot of people. Hopefully you know what the thing is set at, or where to set it exactly, or have a fuel pressure gauge. That's the funny thing about adjustable regulators, they are adjustable, and don't come set where you need it to be set.
