Default which FPR for b16?

I have a JDM b16 sir2 in a 93 hatch. I have upgraded the cams and valvetrain and installed a v-afc. I need to get a fuel pressure regulator so I can take it to the dyno and get it tuned. What FPR should I get? I was thinking about the aeromotive regulator, but I'm not sure which part number to get. Also, do I need to get an aftermarket fuel rail or will the stock rail be sufficient?

The Aeromotive A1000-6 (-6AN inlet/outlet) or A1000 (-10AN inlet/outlet) FPR is a very good choice.

It wouldn't hurt to get a new rail, but the best thing you could do is run a little bigger fuel line.

I'm running a B&M unit and gauge. It works great! Never had any problems with it, and it only cost $85 for both the regulator and gauge.

Where can I get the B&M FPR and fuel gauge for $85 at? I read this thread and a few people seemed to have problems with B&M. Anyone here experience any problems with it?

Wow, I never heard that many bad reviews. I personaly am running a AEM FPR, I love it, however it is way expensive.

I've never heard of Automotive...

I got mine from jdmhondaparts when they were running a special on it. I bought them both for $85 shipped. So, basically, I got free shipping on it. I've heard of people having problems with the nut backing off of it and it leaning out. But you just have to make sure you tighten it down enough. I have yet to have anything bad to say about it.

i called jegs, they said the aeromotive A1000 won't fit on stock fuel rail and its intended for high horsepower cars. Did this guy know what he was talking about? I need to get an FPR for dyno session next week but I still don't know what to get.
