What do you think?

I run the Kirban, and I made my choice because everyone swears by them, and so do I.

Kirban, best value for your dollar, quality product.

Does Kirban make a guage? If not, what kind did you get? How do I install the gauge and is yours oil filled?? Thanks

I just bought it 2 days ago on e-bay,,I didnt receive it yet!

I paid $74 for my Kirban and no gauge so U got a good deal!! By the time I paid for sales tax it was more like $79. Let me know how nice the guage U got is and how it has to be installed!

Does the kirban model have an extra port for a fuel pressure guage input?

 

[90mustangGT]

No, fuel pressure is measured through your schreder valve. It looks like a valve stem on you fuel pressure line.

I plan on getting an electronic fuel pressure guage and would prefer to install the sending unit on the fpr instead ofthe schrader vavle. One less wire strung across my engine bay. It looks like Kirban is not an option for me. I'm leaning towards Aeromotive but I hate that gay pinkish red color. Owe well.

Thanks for all the info, keep it coming.

Aeromotive FPR's have had problems in the past with Gasahol (gasoline /ethanol blend) , it makes them leak. If there is Gasahol in your area avoid the Aeromotive product.

I don't really care for bbk stuff, but I had the bbk regulator on my old motor. I used the same setup that you are thinking about with the electric fuel pressure gauge. I was able to attach the sender unit to the regulator with a small extension. I used the extension because I had a little bit of a clearance issue with something or another, can't remember what. It helped me out with not tying up the schraeder valve, because I was running a nitrous kit that used that valve for the hobbs switch. It's blue, so you won't have to worry about gay colors, lol.

How would I find out about this?

 

[87gtconv]

It must be posted at the gas pumps just read the pump info! It should be in the same area as the cancer altert!

I have the BBK. Now I know that alot of people do not care for the BBK stuff but I really have had no problems with it to date. It does have the port as you have seen WarmDye for the gauge, but I may consider the Auro. one if they have no problems.
Let me know when you are going to do this.

I had a Kirban; it wouldn’t hold a constant pressure. I bought an Aeromotive and have no problems now. (in all fairness it was a used Kirban )But it still went bad.

Well,,like I said I bought it on ebay,so I had to pay for shipping&handling.It came out to 101.Does anyone know where the schrader valve is on a 93lx? Is it in the open,or is it a pain in the ass to get to?

Kirban all the way. Got mine for $75 shipped from www.jdsperformance.com


Scrhader valve is right behind the alternator. It looks like a tire valve on the metal fuel line
