I am the FIRST one to have received this new regualtor. I have been communicating with Mike for about the last 6-8 months now on this thing (ever since the very first ad was posted on the dsmtrader). I got mine about a week or so ago. Let me just put it this way...I have a 10 gauge re-wired Walbro 255HP pump, 660cc inj.'s, and the S-AFC. When I installed the regualtor and gauge and started the car the gauge only showed 12psi!!!!! Low enough for ya?! And it adjusted to 38 psi NO PROBLEM. I, so far, am very happy with the regulator. It is quite stout for such a small piece (it's actually physically smaller than the stock regulator as far as actual size goes!). It's a very attractive piece (billet aluminum) as well. Besides that they are STILL making it even better before it goes into FULL production. I highly recommend that anyone interested in an AFPR check www.spoolinup.com out. I am very impressed with it! Any of you have any questions for me just ask. Thanks.

 

Price?

That piece looks real nice. What will the price be? Hopefully less than an SX and tapping/welding the rail with associated fittings.

 

it bolted right on. NO modifications needed at all. price for me was $155 but I THINK the final pricing on them is oing to be like $130 (that's almost $200!!!!!! less than the setup from Buschur).

 

Smaller than the stocker? Wow thats tiny, cant wait to get mine.

 

I emailed them to order mine

Is the FP gauge port really only 1/16"? I guess an adaptor will get it up to 1/8NPT for my autometer gauge sender. I'm waiting for their reply with info as to who I paypal, and how much (shipping?). I'll keep us posted.

What gauge are you using with it (brand, specs, electronic/ mechanical, etc)?

 

mine was bought with a 60psi summit racing liquid filled FP gauge (mounts right on the reg.)

 

wow.. how's is it possible to be 12psi?

 

beats the shit out of me! all i know is when i installed it and started the car it read 12psi and ran like ass! i had to turn it up to the 38psi that i set it at.

 

I'm just waiting for the next batch to get made....

 

12psi

The regulator was fully open. The purpose of the FPR is to control FP in the rail. It does this by returning a certain amount of fuel tothe tank. Picture the FPR pinching the return line off. The more it closes the retutn line, the more pressure builds in the rail. If the regulator was fully open and you made 12psi with a rewired 255, then this shows that this reg can return a great deal of fuel to the tank. The stock regulator cannot, and therefore it causes extra pressure to develop because it can't send enough fuel back. Seem really good. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

 

pics?

does anyone have pics of the final product installed?

 

ill have one of mine sometime this week. i will post when i have the pic and you all can e-mail me for it!

Post the pics already! come on its been a couple days now.

Mine is on it's way, should be here later this week.

Post the pics!

BTW - Do you guys realize that if you have/get a 60 psi gauge and you dial in your base fuel pressure @ 43 psi (with the vacuum signal hose disconnected,) that at only 17 lbs of boost pressure you will have run out of fuel pressure gauge...
Just a thought.

An 85 psi gauge would be best, but a 100 psi gauge with 2 psi increments would be okay too. Check out Grainger's for nice, liquid-filled, decently priced gauges. Make sure you get a 1/8 NPT connection if you order a gauge somewhere else. Also, Westach makes an 85psi electrical type fuel pressure gauge. Their sender unit has a 1/8NPT connection. The gauge, sender unit and light kit is about $100. Don't forget to mention your ClubDSM discount!

 

Damn!

I'm gonna get a 1G fuel rail if the 2G FPR isn't out soon!

I agree with 95 gst I have a 255HP walbro already installed.

If the people just put the gauge under the hood, which most will anyway because they put other important gauges inside the car, they will probably use the gauge for base pressure most of the time yesterday. So this wouldn't be a problem for these people, no?

Personally, when I got on the list, I asked for a 100 PSI gauge, and now that I write this, knowing that I'd probably just keep the gauge under the hood like I wrote above, I'm wondering which gauge I should get now... Oh well, since the pressure should increase 1 PSI for every 1 PSI of boost, unless there's another good reason, I'll just go for the 60 PSI gauge. Oh yeah, he said there are no 100 gauges or something, guess I gotta get the 60

 

Confirmation after ordering?

Did anyone receive a confirmation after ordering? I Palpal'ed the money about five days ago, and haven't heard a thing

 

I have one of these AFPRs also... I ordered mine from www.adfxracing.com. I called them up and ordered it and got it out to me very quickly. It dropped right in and has an extension built on it for the gauge.

Is mike @ spoolinup related to adfx racing? How could they be selling the same fpr as mike is, unless they're getting them from mike?

 

That link is not even working for me.

Late,

Late,

link not working....

Mike has taken the money out of my account but I too still have not gotten a confirmation from him yet. I am not talking about "I will have it shipped" I am more interested in the UPS tracking no.


I didn't order a guage with my order, but I will have no problem finding a 100psi liquid filled gauge.

I guess its also time to throw in that supra pump i've had for about 1yr.

 

ADFX Racing is not associated with spoolin up in anyway... and no, they are not getting their afpr's through mike.
