Anyone using an AEM adjustable fuel pressure regulator? Either the type that bolts on to the fuel rail or the universal one?

Thanks.

No, but i heard they yield decent gains. FPR in general. Maybe just hear say......

Yeah, I understand that. I have to use an AFPR for my setup, and I can't seem to find any pics of the AEM AFPR installed.

i have personally heard good things abouit the stillen unit, it is a whole unit and not a "modify the stock fpr" ones. And it comes witht he FP guage. Weapon R makes one but thet thing is a POS.

Isn't the Stillen only a fuel pressure riser?

I was eyeing the AEM a few days ago.

I have a B&M now, if this one goes I will probably get the AEM.

how do you like the b&m?

I think Ryan Earl has the SX one. At least he has one of the generic ones like that. I think this is more what you're looking for if you're thinking about the Euro-R rail. You can get your machine shop to tap out the hole for the pressure regulator and install any of the high end regulators, like the SX.

I've been thinking about getting the AEM rail with the AFPR, but there is only a listing for the 97-01 prelude. Considering I have a 94 VTEC do you think that the units would fit my car as well being that I have an H22A engine as well or is there a difference in rails between the two gens?

aem fpr's can crap out at 100+psi fuel pressure

so don't use one if you're going that high...but i know you aren't...

Damn, the flow pattern has to look like crap at that high of pressures!!!!

Won't do me any good if I need to lower pressure lower than stock..... Hence the need for an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

could someone explain what exactly an FPR (such as aem's) does?

is it just to squirt out fuel faster to make the air/fuel ratio more lean?

is this a "mechanical" solution of v-afc? or odb-II?

i'm confused.

in addition, with just bolt-ons like i/h/e/p, would this be worth it?

thanks in adv.

First, do you mean

FPR = fuel pressure riser

or

FPR = fuel pressure regulator

The Stillen unit is an adjustable unit. I have used them in my Preludes and my Civics with great results. You can tune the pressure down or up. Call stillen and talk to a tech about it.

Do you know people this has actually happened to?

It regulates the pressure of the fuel being fed to the injectors.

Higher pressure = more fuel; lower AF ratio

Lower pressure = less fuel; higher AF ratio
