Question about the reliability of AEM FPRs,the ones that Bolts onto the fuel rail,Have you heard anything Good or Bad about it???

 

it is a good frp, and as is the b&m, both are nice peices, AEM cost a little more though

 

wow, déjavu!

I've heard it won't bolt to an h22 stock rail...

 

I have it on my D16Y8 and it works fine. Bolted right to the rail too!!!

 

the thing is,the reason why i posted this ?,i was looking into possible getting one but i heard they had some problems with the regulator seal failing? maybe its rumor,i dont know,but would like to find out before purchase.

I install my Aem Pressure regulator and it works fine on my b16 setup./ yea in order to put the fuel pressure regular on Accords and Preludes it require that you buy the Aem Fuel rail tooo.. which sucks

 

There is a product in Australia, known as the FSE power boost valve. It is an adjustable fuel pressure reg which sense pressure in the manifodl of some sort and adjusts itself to supply enough petrol to meet the vacuum/boost in the mainfold.

It can increase almost 1.7 times that of a stock regulator and the adaptor plates fit onto any car and can easily be mounted whever you like. Im not a distributor or anything just letting u guys know. Apparently WRX's and even non turbo VTEC integras can get about 5 kw, thats about 10 hp I think out of this mod, supposedly though. Also its ability to adjust fuel rpessure means that it can eliminate flat spost easily too...

 

could we say FMU

 

Ive seen to many AEM regulators diaphrams bust for me to trust it. Can you say fuel in you vaccum lines?

I use the AEM unit about 1 year without any problems!

 

Nice to hear a long term success story! I just installed mine about a week and a half ago and nothing bad has happened!!!

 

art,where any of those regulators that busted where yours?

 

ive had mine for almost a year now and no problems.

 

Have any of you who use the AEM changed the little fitting on the inside to a higher flow one? It comes with the smallest one, I changed the medium one in on mine.

 

I think if they were mine they wouldnt break. But Ive seen them used on turbos running high fuel pressures with FMU so I think thats where the problem is at. I just went with aeromotive because Ive never seen, or heard, one that went bad.

I use the middle fitting too.

 

Great, I knew you were a smart guy!

 

Question,about these 3 replacement fitting's,does AEM give u any idea as too what HP or Flow each fitting is rated for,let's say,the small one is good for 200hp or 125lph,medium one 300hp or 175lph and such?

 

I think it is more dependend on which fuel pump and injectors you are using. According to a fuel press gauge you should know what fitting is the correct one.

 

i still got the smaller one in .

 

Get the Aeromotive FPR and be happy with it.

 

is that what you guys call an FMU? like those boost dependant FMU's that I keep hearing is this?


DAYAM if it is, I would NEVER NEVER run my car with only this unit controlling fuel....NEVER, at best this with a piggy back unit of some sort to control A/F etc...

 

No, A FMU and a FPR are just 2 different units. The FPR is going to replace the stock FPR which is not adjustable. The fp is always the same and the only diff to the stock one, that it can be adjusted.

A FMU is a rising rate regulator, needed when there is no standalone in the setup. It gives per pound of boost more fuel press.

 

What's the flow on your Fuel Pump in Liters Per Hour and how many CCs are your Injectors,since your using the middle one.
