Need Help Getting Sard FPR

[dongoesby]

So I installed a Walbro 255 on my S14 SR, and the gas mileage got bad noticeably while driving locally (due to high fuel pressure while idle). After some researches, I decided to get Sard fuel pressure regulator.

My question comes to choosing different model types between Sard fpr and where to hide it.

Does it worth the money to get Sard racing fpr on my stock SR for future modication plan? And is it necessary to get AN type Sard racing fpr? If there isn't any performance improvement, I highly doubt that the advantage of getting braided SS lines would be benetfitial for my case since I've tried to make the engine bay look as stock as possible.

I will be daily driving my s14 for now, so a stealth look is what i'm aiming for. I've seen most people mount it on the struct tower. What would be a good spot to hide your fpr? Anyone bother to hide it?

Ive seen people completely hollow out the stock one to have it flow through with no restriction, and then put an adjustable one in the return line further back towards the gas tank. No one will ever know the difference.

Get the sard or tomei fpr. They are both great fpr's. The bracket that comes with those units are perfect to mount on the passenger side strut tower. The two holes on the bracket are perfectly spaced for the 2 stock holes right above the fuel filter. At least on the s14 it is....not sure about on the s13.

There is not a special need for the AN type fpr unless you plan on getting AN lines. Just buy a fp gauge, install everything and adjust the fp back to stock pressure.

Another thing i have seen done is to buff off all the paint on the aftermarket one and paint it flat black then mount it in the stock position. All you have to do is make sure the vacuum line doesnt have any bumps in it cause smog techs are trained to look for blocked or kinked lines. Tip from a smog tech: anything shiny will attract attention during a visual, so paint it and sprinkle some dirt on it for good measure and it will become invisible.
