FUEL RAIL ADAPTORS:
Fuel rail adaptors are designed for connection of your FPR to your fuel system when your standard regulator is mounted on the fuel rail. With the standard regulator removed, install a fuel rail adaptor in place of the stock regulator and use EFI fuel hose to connect to your remotely mounted FPR.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Determine your current Base fuel pressure.
Turbosmart recommends determining your current base fuel pressure with your existing regulator. This should be done prior to installation of the FPR to give a reference base pressure to initially tune the base pressure to. This base pressure measurement should be made with a suitable fuel pressure gauge at idle with the vacuum hose removed. Ensure the vacuum hose has been removed and is blocked when taking the reading and the reference nipple is left open to atmosphere.
2. Prepare to remove your existing regulator Your fuel system is under pressure. To relieve the pressure disconnect your fuel pump power or remove the fuel pump fuse. Crank the engine until it stops. Your fuel system should now have no stored pressure.
WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when loosening fuel fittings. Turbosmart recommends wearing safety glasses to protect against fuel spray and having an appropriate fire extinguisher on hand.
3. Remove your existing regulator
With your engine cool and ignition off you can now carefully remove the fuel lines to and from you existing regulator. You should take care with these lines to ensure no debris enters your fuel system. Disconnect the vacuum line and remove the existing regulator.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If your standard fuel pressure regulator is mounted directly to your fuel rail then you may need to use an adaptor and some EFI fuel hose to connect the fuel rail to the FPR inlet ort. Turbosmart supplies a range of adaptors to suit most popular makes and models (see accessory table for details).
4. Mount the FPR
Mount the FPR using the mounting bracket supplied. Ensure it is firmly mounted and if necessary use the bracket as a template for marking out new mounting holes. Use the spring washers supplied when bolting the FPR to the bracket.
