Opinions on fuel pressure regulators

[rio95]

I have pretty much made up my mind by going with a Kirban with a guage. This is one of the best ones out there isn't it. Also, what use would a FPR be without a guage. I thought they all had guages, but now I know they don't.

Just to check, this will work with a street heat fox set-up correct? The only thing that really matters is the fuel rails right?


Is this the best deal?

I'd say that a good deal...gage and the fittings with it....
I run the 93 Cobra with a Kirban and plenty of clearance...I wouldn't think it would be and issue...Never really hear of a complaint with Kirban..
Plenty of real estate....if your running stock fuel rails your ok...

FWIW....check this link...make sure you get the correct one...2 different P/Ns between ours and the Fox...pics look the same but dif P/Ns...??

Another vote for kirban

 

[rio95]

Thanks rio. I think I'll go with it.

kirban

 

[rio95]

so you don't have a guage rio?? How do you know what the pressure is?

 

[rio95]

Well, I just bought it. Hopefully the guage will fit with a fox tb set-up. It looks like it should work, but I don't know exactly where it goes on the regulator.

 

[bjl95mustang]

The gauge screws on the schrader valve on the fuel rails.

 

[rio95]

Ok I was thinking that at one point. I don't think there would be any reason a fox set-up would hinder this than.

I am opposed to running a full time gauge under the hood. I have a hand held gauge I hook when I am testing the FP, when I'm done I remove it. I have heard of too many bad situations where the rail mounted gauge either leaked or broke and had the potential to start an engine fire.


Edit: I have run a Kirban on my car since '98 without any problems. The 94-95 and fox differ in the number of "fittings" for lack of a better term are under the gauge that go into the rail. They are NOT interchangable.

Off topic sorry...

Rio, you're running a Fox Cobra upper/lower intake on a sn95? It doesn't look like you're running an intake elbow or anything. What mods did you have to do to make this work?

I am also not a fan of having a gauge full time (though SO many folks do with no issues). I have enough things break w/o having one more thing there to break.

the Kirbans are very nice and rebuildable, IIRC. i do like Paul and toss my diagnostic FP gauge on when i need to check pressure.

good luck.

Check the sticky thread at the top of this forum on the fox TB swap. Its a pretty common thing to do now a days.

thanks

 

[rio95]

It should be pretty easy to put that guage on and off though. So I could just take it off after setting it correct? Then put it on when I want to check it.

I choose mechanical, and mounted it outside on the wiper cowl....retro I guess.. but I like it...

 

[urban96]

will i need an AFPR when i upgrade to 24lb injectors with my heads?

 

[rude_life]

This is the one i have on my car. Im happy.
