Default who running a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator?

sup, I have this issue with my setup. For some reason every now and then my car feels like a turtle, some days its pulls like it wants to fly( not to brag). I was wondering cuz I read somewhere awhile back that some of the aftermarket fuel regs would fail, or sparatically fail? Cuz when its on "turtle" mode it feels like my motor is starving for fuel. Keep in mind I have an ObX fuel reg and stock LS fuel injectors.

i dont want to sound like an ***..but its an OBX fpr.. they're not the best manufacturer of anything. do you have your stock one readily available? you should def try that. also when was the last time you changed your fuel filter? what mods do you have to require a aftermarket fpr?

Yea I know OBX is'nt the greatest, I guess I will have to change out my fuel filter before I blame the reg.

I have the b&m top half and itr bottom half now. Using a walbro 255 i run rich as hell at idle. I bought the aem 25-300 because it has difference return orifices. Haven't installed it yet.

How much money did you waste on the obx fpr?

AEM on my civic and 2 1/2 years of driving never failed . I would not put an obx anything on my car, unless I was in a crash car derby!

i have never seen an Aeromotive that boltsd to the rail.
i have used the aeromotive and the aem and both work great without issues.
i personally owuldnt use the b&m or any of the replcia type brands out there.
