Default arospeed or b&m fuel regulator on h22a??

hey all, was wondering if a universal b&m or arospeed adjustable fpr will fit on an h22a, they are the add on to existing stock fuel pressure regulator. the arospeed says all honda/acura, and i can only find the b and m for like b18s however they both look exactly the same anyone have one installed or know if it will fit on a stock h fuel rail and regulator????

it doesnt matter which one you get. nd in general most people like otp ut them on cause they think they need one cause htey have an intake hader adn exhaust but all they do is make the car run slower, and use mroe gas cause htey turn the pressure up without a clue.

Arospeed and B&M are both poor quality FPRs.

Here's a good one....no diaphram to go bad.

I've also been happy with my AEM regulator, but wish I got one of those/\/\

i have heard good things about b&m, so i dont know where ur coming from, sure that one in the pic is nice but its also 200. i have a guage so as long as it reads good ill be alright. they all do the same thing

So there's absolutely no gain from an Aero/B&M FPR? Would it be useful at a dyno tune? Or is that only with the AEM one?

I'm skeptical of Arospeed parts, I had a fuel pressure gauge from them and it lasted about a week, then all of the oil leaked out of it and it fell apart. just my 0.02.

I have a B&M on mine. You can use the B18 version of the B&M on the H. Sure, the replacement fpr's are better quality, but for a lot of us, the b&m style works just fine.

thanks for your input guys, yea my boss has b&m fpr on his integra with 16 pounds of boost and nitrous on a blower and he hasnt had any problems. i was a little skeptical myself about arospeed parts but it looks just like the b&m. the guage looks like a piece of ****, we ll see if it works.

all insane. you don't need a $100-200+++ regulator. at the peak of your spending, you should have a $100 AEM regulator.

I love my B&M. a regulator won't net you any power unless you need the fuel. air makes power. if you have head work, cams, a valve job, and an intake manifold, and you start to run a hair lean, then you can think about a regulator to help you. On the other hand for $40, the B&M one is not going to break the bank anyway. I say get it. make sure you have a gauge or some way of knowing where you set the pressure. It's adjustable, ya know..

i'd get a b&m, and remove the gague when you're done testing pressure. no need to keep it on there unless you think you need to watch it closely continually. even your boss didn't need to opt for some crazy inline regulator that is $100-200+++. no need, IMO. I'm surprised he doesn't have one that rises with boost, though. I think with the B&M, vacuum is what increases the fuel pressure (by "sucking" on a diaphragm), and boost would actually reduce the pressure as RPM rises, instead of increase it (or just not increase it)..

good luck

oh... and it'll fit. I forgot.

any standard return line regulator that says it works with any b/d/h series honda motor will work just fine on whatever you have. i promise.

Been around or not, if they can't make a reliable FP gauge, I personally wouldn't use their regulator.

Don't ask questions if you don't want answers. Hawkze knows his ****, and he was tryin to tell you what works and what doesn't. If you think they all do the same thing and blah blah blah, then why the expletive post a question asking which one to get? They're all the ******* same right? Sorry, but that pissed me off

EDIT: From my experience B&M regulators= ,however, I do know a decent amount of people who have had good luck with the AEM ones

That synapse fpr looks promising; however, its over $200?.... I think i'm going to settle with an AEM. I can't find them lower than $140 though.
