Default My fuel setup: is an adjustable FPR needed?

I know this topic has been covered many times, and I have searched, however there is rarely a difinitive answer.

So with that said, here's my question:

I plan on running a t3/60-1 turbo, 440cc RC injectors, a walbro 255lph fuel pump (NOT high pressure), and Hondata to tune it all. My question is, does Hondata negate the need of a fpr to regulate fuel pressure? Or does the higher flowing walbro fuel pump create the need for one?

TIA

Use your stock regulator unless you are topping out your injectors (over 250-300hp, depending). In that case, you should just get larger injectors.

Personally I would go with a 1:1 fpr for that kind of setup.....

The whole point of getting even a cheap B&M 1:1 is because its adjustable. If its a turbo car it is nice to have so you can adjust fuel pressure and the little gauge that goes with it serves a good purpose also. anyways, according to http://www.hondata.com they want you to set the fuel pressure at 60psi...you can't do that with a stock one.

I suck at posting links, go to s200 under products then click boost, its underlined in the list of features.

no.

a Stock Honda FPR is 1/2:1

Aeremotive will do you nicely.

Or if you don't want An lines I would go with a AEM.

Be aware the 255 pump will overload the FPR and it won't bypass enough fuel to allow a pressure under 40psi.

You may want the fpr just for that alone.
