How does that damn thing come off? I have 440's ont he way and want to have a adjustable FMU as opposed to a plain fuel pressure riser. How does it come OFF ??

I'm so bad, i should be in detention.

I never took anything off... I just plumbed into the stock fuel
system... Of course that was for installing the FPR that came
with HRC's Stage II.

13.9sec @ 105mph passes
w/ Blown piston rings,
on Stock Internals
at 10psi Boost....

I also dont see the need to take anything off. the Adj FMU is the last thing before the return line and will have the last say on fuel pressure and ratio.

You too can have a never updated site complete with old info and dated pics!

I'll post some instructions that Corbin most graciously provided to me regarding how he hacked away the stock FPR so that the (Vortech) SFMU can be used...

You do need to rid the stock FPR if you want to lower base fuel pressure...

....which is my goal, to be able to lower my base fuel pressure. I know there is a way, i just don't know how to go about it. help me, Leon!

Here's the info I sent Leon a while back. If you want to lower your base idle below stock levels, you have to dismantle the stock FPR. First thing is to start the car and then pull the power for the fuel pump . The car dies and the you can now open up the fuel rail. You need split ring pliers that have a 90 degree bend at the tip. You use the pliers to remove the split ring that holds the stock FPR in place. Its a good idea to hold the FPR with a thumb while you remove the split ring . When you get the split ring off, put a big rag under the FPR. If you put a little less pressure on the FPR, the gas will start to leak out onto the rag. Let it all leak out and then pull the FPR off. Then take a hack-saw and cut the FPR where indicated in the pic below. You can also pull off the plastic filter on the wider part of the FPR. You can clean up the cut with a file and a 0.5" drill bit. Use gasoline or alcohol to thoroughly wash any filings out of the FPR. Let it dry. Put some fresh oil on the o-ring of the FPR and put it back on . You should now be able to drop your fuel pressures to 25 psi or so though].

Damn more and more work. That HKS fuel controller with idle control looks better everyday.
