which FPR to get? want to ditch my B&M...
Ive heard the B&M does not work well with the walbro and since Ive just installed a walbro 255lph (341) i'd like to know if someone could confirm this?
If this is the case what do people recommend for my application? (see sig.)
The charged engine is a d16a9 at the moment I will eventually be fitting a H22 engine so would be nice if the unit could be swapped across
Thanks in advance

if you want a direct bolt on go with the AEM which is a 1:1 regulator whic his great for boost.. We have them on our 10sec street cars... if you want a bigger one and dont mind fabing something up or buying extra fittings go wit hthe SX or paxton or aeromotive.

That is not a honda AEM FPR!
And is there any reason why you like aem?
Because its overpriced? Maybe because you have to use such a small, pain in the *** alen wrench to adjust it? No wait.... Its because it does not have a gauge port on it. (obviously yours could since its not made specificaly for honda)(really not trying to be an ***, your **** seems well put togather and clean )
I am not saying there is ANYTHING wrong with the AEM FPR. It does what it is suposted to do. Just not my first or even 5th choice! And since you can get better, for cheeper, why not?

I get a great deal on them, cost me less than the Aeromotive or SX. It is a universal application and that can be convenient when you're in a shop that works on more than just Hondas. It does have a gauge port, I chose not to use it.

The unit you have would require him to buy more fittings making the price go even higher. And I just wanted to let him know that the HONDA FPR from AEM does not have a gauge port on it
I actually have the AEM FPR on one of my cars (came with) so I know it works fine and all. I am just speaking from experience here and letting him know my thoughts. I just wanted to find out if there was an actual reason you liked the AEM unit over others.

Aeromotive
AEM
I've never heard of a Aeromotive or SX have a leaking diaphram, but I have heard of quite a few AEMs leaking and seen it first hand.

We buy several at a time and get a good deal. The fittings still don't make it more expensive than other brands/models for us. Trust me, I'm not into overpaying for **** just so I can have an AeM y0! He should shop around and try to find the best price on a good fpr.
aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh **** it, go buy a B&M and call it a day

I've heard of this also but I though that was on the older design/models. I'm sure everyone has seen one brand or another leak/stick.
