B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator, walbro 255lph, aeromotive fpr
I bought a B&M to adjust pressure for my direct port nitrous setup, but now I am going turbo as we speak.
I have a walbro 255 lph.
I have been reading how some people say that their B&M "took a ****" on them and recently read this:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by mista bone »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The problem with the B&M and Ericks, they won't flow enough fuel to drop idle pressure when using a 255 LPH HP pump.
This tends to make them stick/hang open. Which is BAD news when your spraying/boosting.</TD></TR></TABLE>.
From this thread.
This has me worried. But, I have read that some people use the stock regulator on high HP applications with success. Wouldn't the B&M perform like stock since that is basically what it is (except for the new top part with the adjusting screw)? Stock and the B&M are both 1:1 correct?
So, if I need to get a new one, I want an aeromotive. That thread mentions one that fits on the stock fuel rail, I have a 99 civic si b16a2 engine, which aeromotive regulator should I get? And from where?
That thread mentioned this link. But, it doesn't say anything about my engine.
I believe stan sells aeromotive regulators, I guess I should PM him.

yes ask stan, and check ebay, i got mine for $100 off ebay. you will need to drill the fuel rail if you are using stock.

mista bone apparently doesn't like aeromotive either - from this thread:

On the Honda Rail mount units, the vacuum port fitting hits against the spring, locking it in place!
Aeromotive has NEVER returned my calls either!!!!!!!

Anyone know what that means?
Oh I just read in this thread (I love the search feature )

So I guess I just need an adapter to put it on the stock rail and one for the stock return, and I think a plug - since I believe it has 2 inlets. I think I want the 13109, in case I decide to upgrade rail etc. later.

Re: B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator, walbro 255lph, aermotive fpr (slashDEVslashNULL)
well after lots of reading, I am convinced that the STOCK fpr is fine, and therefore I believe the B&M will be fine as well. I have the fuel pressure set within spec, according to the helms, even with the walbro 255lph. So, unless someone can tell me otherwise.....Please tell me before I find out the hard way.
TIA

you quoted that post from my thread. I just bought the Aeromotive A1000-6 Injected Bypass Regulator (p/n AE13109). I got it from http://www.jdsperformance.com for only $128.04 shipped. its the best price online.

Re: (slashDEVslashNULL)
my main issue with the Aeromotive rail mount, the vacuum port fitting would bottom out on the FPR spring. IMHO a simple oversee in the design stage. But Aeromotive never returned my emails or phone calls.
THEN the B&M FPR locked open, damn near leaving me sitting in the highway, Being the hotrodder I am, I will modify the vacuum fitting on the Aeromotive FPR to clear the spring, the all should be good for a 12 second stock block SOHC motor on spray pass.

you think i'd have the same problem w/ the aeromotive 13109 FPR with a golden eagle rail and a b16head?

Re: (sol2nr)
not as long as the vacuum fitting doesn't bottom out. Also with ANY Aeromotive FPR, undo the pressure adjuster before installing.
Else your gonna see 120+ fuel pressure.
