Default adive/opinions requested on fuel pressure gauge...

curious as to what kinds of fuel pressure gauges people are running?? also where they have them located (in cabin or engine bay?)???

i was looking into getting one for when i add my adjustable FPR soon as it would make adjustments more accurate. also any info on where to get these gauges would be great.

thanks in advance guys

Default

Use an electic sender so you only run wire into the passenger compartment.

Default I have a fuel pressure gauge but it is connected to my FPR

I just use it to adjust my fuel pressure during idle.

Default if you dont mind me asking how much did the two pieces (gauge and frp) cost you?

also did you purchase them through that race solutions shop? i have found a couple adjustable fprs but am trying to look at all my options.

thanks

Default Not sure what I paid for it and yes Dynamic Racing Solutions got it

for me and installed it with the custom fuel rail they made for my car.

Are you looking at the ones from EVO and ECS? I know a few others that are running the one from EVO and they seem to be happy with it.

Default Pretty sure you would need a custom fuel rail to even use that fpr

since it is the same thing as my SX. The one from EVO and ECS are just modified bosch fpr's which will just go in the stock spot. Others could not find it on the evo site either, but IIRC they called up and were able to order it right on the phone.
