Fuel Pressure Regulator

88Saleen · January 6th, 2009, 06:05 PM

Hey, went to a swap meet in november and bought Fuel rails, 24lb injectors, 24lb calibrated MAF. The fuel rails i bought are not the type where the regulator mounts to it. Where can i find a regulator i can mount anywhere? ie: a fender mount or something like that.

TKOTLARZ · January 6th, 2009, 06:07 PM

u gotta find a "stand alone" i believe they call it..i know murrays has them

88Saleen · January 6th, 2009, 06:19 PM

when you say murrays you mean the auto parts store right?

EDIT: would you say that there are some better than others? which name brand should i look for, for a quality part

TKOTLARZ · January 6th, 2009, 06:30 PM

yea the auto store..im not sure on which are better than others..i got a bbk but its not a stand alone..i would go with an aeromotive, bbk , or holly if it were..tho i did get a bad regulator from bbk and it was a bitch gettin it exchanged, and took 2-3 weeks

*if it were me

I used a mallory from summit racing. Nice thing is, you will 2 extra ports for a fp guage, and a wet nitrous fuel line if you want.

The factory fuel rails are good for ~500HP or maybe more. I'd use the 24's and the maf and set the fuel rail to the side.

na, he already got them...and hes gonna have to get a regulator for the normal rail..then wen he puts on the rails, buy a stand alone..so why not jus put the rails on and buy the stand alone now..saves a good 75$ and some time

baine21225 · January 6th, 2009, 07:22 PM

or just sell the rails

qwkvert · January 6th, 2009, 07:27 PM

If the reason for installing the rails is to look cool, I feel ya, they look cool as hell. On the other hand, don't forget you are going to need the Ford fuel line adaptors from Russell, then some either SS braided line that is going to be too long or too short, unless you get the equipment to make your own, or some Russell push lock, which is what I use, but I don't know if they make push-lok fittings for the Ford fuel line yet. So just looking cool is going to cost ya brother....

That's your call. The stock fuel rail will have no problems at all supporting 24# injectors. Only you can determine the pros and cons if the time and money is worth it.

Aeromotive among other companies make them.

Rails are not a wise choice if you don't need them. Between the adapters, regulator and misc. other items you are going to have much more invested than you would in just a regulator for the stock rails. Not to mention the distributor clearance issues that are common with big aftermarket fuel rails on a 302. Besides, nothing says "I'm a poser" like having aftermarket fuel rails with factory fuel lines.
