Default Do i need a fuel pressure regulator for my goals/setup?

I have heard mixed reviews so far, and i need to know if i need to buy a fuel pressure regulator like an aeromotive or aem one or not. My setup is an F22A6 (out of 92 accord), fully built block and head, gonna be running around 430whp, around 24 psi. Using 750cc injectors, and a 255lph walbro High pressure fuel pump. Is my stock honda one gonna be alright for my setup? Thanks!

those injectors are enough for your power goals, there shouldnt be a need to change the fuel pressure regulator

I would def. get a FPR. That way you know your fuel pressure is consistant everytime, specially if you are running an after market pump.

the reg may be able to handle it, BUT if you do need a little base bump the stocker cant do it. and the BM command flow is JUNK. if you feel you will need a bump in base pressure, just get an aeromotive with the -6 ports. /done

if you had 880s i would say go stock. but you might want to think about getting an adjustable one for pushing those 750s.

idle shouldnt be an issue with 880s.

the 880s will require a resistor box, which is its only disadvantage but its a lot cheaper than a FPR. an FPR is always handy to have, its not required by any means but its a suggested upgrade.

if your car has p-h injectors already then you are fine. make sure you still use the box.

Peak and hold and saturated injectors are sent different electrical signals. The larger injectors are not available as saturated. If your EMS supports low impedance injectors (peak and hold) you can run them right out, otherwise you need to use resistors inline to 'simulate' a peak and hold drive style.

If you currently have peak and hold injectors then go with the bigger ones. If you currently have saturated injectors go with the bigger ones, because the fpr is not needed and is more expensive than 4 radio shack resistors. (IMO they solder in cleaner and are cheaper than a resistor box).

if you have peak and hold injectors in there stock, then there is already a resistor box in the car, so you dont need to purchase/install one.

I went with the low pressure, that's what I have found through searching. I also know that some people recommend using the high pressure.

I think you should be fine with the low pressure, but wait for another response.

Everything else you listed off seems okay to me

Use the archived feature, and pick a forum (not for sale forums). You have a boosted car? You posted in Forced Induction? You ONLY wanted people in this forum to see your post, yet you don't dare to restrict your search to this forum?

You can search in every forum, uniquely, before you will get a number of useful responses to your thread.
