2688, If I add an adjustable regulator
Posted by Stan2gnt, Mar-14-01 07:57 AM
Does it go between the rail and FMU or after the FMU (between the FMU and return line). Does the SuperFMU adjust both base FP and the fuel/boost ratio or just the ratio. I think I may just get an adjustable reg and/or SuperFMU initally. Dont wanna be installing sh*t over and over.

An ajustable FPR like mine, (I don't want to speak for the Vortech folks) adjusts both base idle fuel pressure AND boosted fuel pressure. After its installation, I was able to totally remove and discard the stock FPR.

Yes the vortec SFMU adjusts both static fuel pressure, idle fuel pressure, and boost fuel pressure.

However, on the 1995s, you have to disable the stock FPR...

2691, JasonESi_T you have the Vortech Ajustable FPR...

If I understand your question correctly, if you have an adjustable FRP (either Vortech or Bell) that can adjust both idle and boosted fuel pressure, you shouldn't need to upgrade to either. If you meant that if you have a non-adjustable Vortech FMU now, and later want to switch it with an adjustable FPR, that would also be an easy thing. By having it and upgrading to it, you would just remove your stock FPR and your FMU.

Now, I'm just speculating that my adjustable FPR is a Bell. But DAMN, after looking at the pic of the Bell FPR, I cannot tell a solitary difference between that one and mine.

Also, Hoot's recent conversation with Corky in regard to retaining the stock FPR. That statement totally stymies me. I don't have my stock FPR and I idle just fine using the adjustable model. :-)

(hmmm....starting to worry about Corky.... ;-) )

Well I havent made any final decisions on that (I'll just watch my gauges for a while) but what I would like to add is the HKS Sequential BOV instead of the standard. I'll email you.
