I remembered that B&M make an add on kit for honda fuel pressure regulators to make is an adjustable FPR. its called the B&M command flow, I actually have one laying around here somewhere... I think i am going to try to retrofit it to a nissan FPR and see if it can be a cheaper alternative to the Nismo adjustable FPR. Hopefully it works out and we have another option available to us. If anyone has done this please chime in!

dont get a nismo fpr. they are finicky. Some work good, some do not.
go Sard or other better ones. I changed from a nismo to sard as I had inconsistent fuel pressure on occasion and that is very dangerous!
Has anyone tried the one advertised by www.Poweredbymax.net (http://www.Poweredbymax.net) Seems pretty inexpensive and I would trust their stuff over some of the "cheaper alternatives".

Go with SARD FPR, from what i've seen and read i'd stay away from NISMO FPR; like JohnC stated they are finicky. If you have a S14 motor, then you'll need a GReddy, SARD, or NISMO adapter. Please refer to link below: (NISMO)
Nismo FPR Fitting for SR20DET (http://www.optionimports.com/nifprfi.html)
I'd go with SARD FPR with NISMO Adapter (for S14), the SARD FPR allows you to install a pressure guage on unit it self 1/8 NPT fitting. :)

aeromotive makes a fpr kit for our cars and those work good. Enjuku racing also sells a adapter kit to make it a bolt on affair.

wow.. everyone that posted must have not read my first post. I was commenting on retrofitting a B&M command flow to fit a stock fpr to make it adjustable. I didnt say i was going to get a nismo fpr or was looking for alternatives that are already on the market. well, i guess i will try it and post results

I saw someone put the B&M Command Flow on a DSM fpr, so thats what got me thinking... and there is something you can do to allow relieve the pressure that build up on idle... heres the link, its for hondas but should skill be aplicable on any fpr The Old One - Energy Dynamics : Articles (http://www.theoldone.com/articles/regulator/)

okay so B&M sells one specifically for the eclipse turbo that will work with the nissan regulators as i have a 4g63 fpr and took measurements to compare with the nissan fpr. I will do a writeup once i buy the B&M command flow for the Eclipse.

I wouldnt spend the $130 they charge for a nismo fpr in the first place, thats why i am looking at this alternative... should only cost about $30 and work better then the nismo one. Thanks for the support!

yeah, there is a nismo fpr that goes directly onto the rail and one that you use a fitting to remote mount, if you are going to remote mount i would suggest something other than the nismo fpr, but this thread is about an alternative to the direct mount nismo fpr that is cheaper and direct mount and adjustable.
