Default After Market Fuel Pressure Regulator

Can anyone tell me if for sure this regulator will work and if so, how would one mount it? Or would I be better off just getting a set of rails from a vendor?

You'd have to hack up your rails. Better off spending the $$ and getting rails I'd say.

That's the same FPR ZZP uses on their rails. SOB leaks on most people's rails too, they did on mine.

Aeromotive or Magnaflow more $ than a 15$ crapo regulator but their far more reliable/stable

the small outlet on the OE FPR can cause pressure creep at low loads so i dont really plan on an OE FPR housing for our rails... not to mention pulsation with big injectors

I took the stock ZZP one off the rails and use the aeromotive. Scotty, if you want my old one.....you can have it.

Well I was kinda had my eye on some fuel rails, but after I sat down and thought about it, Id be better off staying focused on the transmission and the other little projects I wanted to complete with that work.

Id love to have a complete AN Fuel line set up and the fuel rails would have made that super easy, but I'll wait for now unless a deal I cant pass up comes along on ZZP or PRJ fuel rails.

I have an AFPR I believe from SFPHQ. It mounts in the stock FPR location. Looks like a stock FPR but with a set screw. I have it in a box in my garage. I used to use it and I went back to stock. Donno if i'll use it again.

dont buy the zzp rails. like dubob said, they are junk. the old style ones are fine, but the new ones with the afpr were a PITA. they were fine when they were working, but i could never get a good pressure reading, and i always had to be messing with it.

i am awaiting a set of paul and prj, and can't wait to go back to the stock (sorenson) fpr.

id say save your money and get a set of PRJ logs
