I'm no expert but I don't think it will. May be your FPR is bad and a new one isall you need.

I have a 92 Si Civic our FPR sets on the end of our fuel rail

On an OEM set up the FPR is usally on the front top side of the fuel rail. There are easy to change. Not sure where your is. What engine do you have.

If your running rich and the tune is correct then yes it could be the FPR.

I don't know enough about your setup or problems.

Fix the problem that's causing you to run rich.

An adjustable fpr is no good for tuning because the fuel demand is not linear. An adjustable fpr is a bandaid for people running at the upper limit of their fuel pump and/or injectors.
