i was wondering how people felt about B&M fuel pressure regulators..and how much are they new??

 

They are ok. I would go with a seperate one if I were you, not one that just sits on top of the stock unit. What kinda car do you have, or is this going onto. I have a brand new AEM one that I will sell you for $105 shipped if you are interested. Thats way lower than you will find anywhere else.

 

the b&m is going on a integra with a b20/vtec.. i need to up the PSI of fuel that i am getting cuz my car is leaning out big time when i throttle it

 

how is the aem one set up..seperate away from the stock fuel pressure regulator

 

The B&M actually gets attached to the stock one, while the AEM is a seperate one, that reaplces the entire stock unit.

 

I can get liquid filled gauges for just slightly more than the B&M units. They are made by Edelbrock

 

post link for these please

 

B&M is okay...certainly cheap.

for a gauge...mounting it on the fuel rail is more accurate.

 

If you dont care to spend the money get the AEM, it is a hole replacement piece which is alot cleaner and safer.

 

james at titanmotorsports.com sells the b&m fpr and gauge for 80 shipped. I feel it does the same excat thing as the AEM but its alot cheaper. Mine works great

 

believe it or not
summit sells them as well and a lot cheaper
you could get the regulator and gage as well for cheap
but you have to be handy and patient to make it
plus if I was you Ill rather but the aem that they are offering you for
cheap

 

i didn't like the AEM that i had. it was too big and close to my strut bar. the factory GSR strut bar. and it ended up breaking the little vacum line, because it sticks strait up. the little metal tip broke off completly. i got an B&M after that and is does the same thing. and it cheaper.

 

so basically i can get the B&M and there would be no difference in buying the aem but the aem is safer..but performance wise they will both accomplish the same thing??

 

they will both do the same thing. aem is made from 2 pieces bolted together, and the B&M is made from 2 pieces bolted together. except the AEM is bigger and it has broken on me. so i would say that the B&M is safer. i have had NO problems yet with it. i even cut my stock regulator wrong and it still works good.
go with the B&M. especially if you have a strut bar.

 

I have a B&M FPR and its nice.

 

thanx alot i think i am going to go with the B&M

 

are they really the same? how about adjustments? i always thought that the b&m only lets you raise the pressure while the aem can lower and raise the pressure. i saw a topic on some guy who lowered his fuel pressure w/ his b&m by drilling a very small hole by the diaphragm

 

why would you want to lower the pressure, and there is and adjustment on the B&M to raise and lower the pressure.

well, i don't have a fuel pressure gauge so i don't know but i'm guessing that my fuel pressure might be too high because i have a walbro 255 lp/h.

i'm trying to get my car tuned in the next 1-2 weeks or so i'm trying to find out what i need for my car to get it tuned properly.

my mods are on my sig. that's pretty much everything i have besides the gauges and little accesories here and there.

IMO, they both do they same thing. If you dont mind cutting your stock fpr, just gets the B&M. IT will save you a lot of money. I have never had a problem with mine

 

i heard that with the b&m , you can't lower your fuel pressure if you have an aftermarket fuel pump. you can only lower it if you have a stock fuel pump.

 

really? can anyone confirm this?

same thing happened to me. the vacuum thing broke off on mine too. i just got a vortech regulator now. just the one that attaches to the stock regulator. they both worked the same. i'd go ahead and get the b&m

 

How do you know your A/F is lean? You should always make adj. with a wideband 02. Little changes make big differences.

 

ditto.
