I had my car mapped by RC yesterday and there is a problem with my fuel pressure afer 1.2Bar. Might be pump, voltage or FPR.

I'm not bothered about bling or gauges and saw a few around the £50 mark on E-Bay (SARD, JDM, Greddy).

Was just going to buy one and get it fitted for the sake of it.

Anyone any opinons on which is easiest to fit?

Any non bling alternatives as I'm not bothered about adjusting the fuel pressure either.

I tried to do a serach but the search engine always seems to come up with 500 options.

Cheers,
Jim

Edited: That's 1.2Bar on a 3071R circa 350hp to keep things in perspective. Target 1.8Bar and 430hp

nismo is easiest fit as it bolts to original rail etc where as a sard is mounted away from rail and a new adapter is needed for end of rail

Plenty of people are still using the standard FPR on more power than that. Stu is still using the OEM one at 1.7 bar on that turbo.

I have an FSE one, fitted at the momet (not the Power Boosy Valve one) and am gonig back to my standard one as I think it's mucking things up.

Thanks for the offer Stu and all the advice gents (Oh and the verbal abuse Rob ;-) ).

When I meant simple, I meant direct replacement. Thank you to some for interpreting correctly :D

Steve, I think it was FSE I had at the back of my mind but your experience has put me off.

The nismo option sounds interesting and I'll get a price from Nissan about a new OE one too.

Thanks again for all your thoughts,

Jim

Decided just to keep it simple and buy one of these:

http://www.apexperformance.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=120_121_184&products_id=913&PHPSESSID=af127fce3bf624b05b0af3d127869264

I like this because it is (should be) a direct fit and its Nissan so if I'm still getting fuel problems it can only be the pump. I went adjustable rather than fixed as RC Developments say that is what they like using to tune cars so that's what they can have. Its overkill for what I need but so is 430hp!!

Thanks for all your help and ideas (and abuse!! :D )
