The survival of your engine could depend on the performance of an FPR thats why i went for a fuelab and not a cost cutter one

fuel lab, aeromotive, and sx ithink are the only ones that people would recommend most of the time, stay away from fse.

When buying an FPR, ask what the maximum design operating pressure is. If the supplier does not know, walk away.
The FSE Glecoe for instance is 6 bar and this is too low for some applications as it is regularly working close to max design pressure. Hence failures. Remember what you need : set fuel pressure, vacum pipe off, plus maximum boost pressure plus headroom.

Here are the pressure spec's for three of the well known regulators. The Fuelab is certainly rated on the conservative side.


Aeromotive 75psi/5.15bar (compact version is 70psi/4.83bar)

Fuelab & SX 90psi/6.2bar.

Be aware there are two Fuelab designs.

Only if you are running low boost so that the boost and fuel pressure combined are well below 5 bar and will never be needed to approach that figure.
