No, it belongs to another board member. I am simply working on installing it into their MR2

No. Hell, you can feed both sides of the rail, drill and tap for a center drain line if you wanted. I've seen fuel routed a bunch of ways

has anyone ever mentioned a good reason for not using a pulsation damper in their top feed rails?

i'm currently designing a rail for my car and i'm planning on using one due to the instantaneous pressure differentials that can occur with big injectors opening and closing.. there was a delphi tech paper than showed pretty significant pressure fluctuations in the rail at each injector at specific rpms, but almost no one uses one in any of the setups i've seen. certainly there's a good reason for excluding something that even the factory saw fit to install in almost every top feed fuel rail system out there?

bump from the dead, does the regulator come with the gauge?

Sang · 11-17-2009, 02:11 AM

I highly, highly doubt it does. Looks like ben had to use a gauge adapter like this with a -6AN female to -6AN male with 1/8NPT port that basically T's into it.

No disrespect to the TRD regulator...but you'd really be much better off with a more widely used unit like an aeromotive, sx, weldon, et cetera. They are easily rebuildable by buying new diaphragms from summit and most come with a port directly on the regulator for mounting a gauge.

im quite anal about oem parts in the car, planning to remove the ebay fpr and the damn walbro for a supra tt pump and a trd fpr

Sang · 11-17-2009, 03:35 AM

I guess i'll never understand the brand name fad. Personally, i wouldn't trust fueling like an FPR in the hands of POS ebay stores either, but when I see the same quality/reliability (and most times even better) products that cost less, I just never see the logic behind buying YYY product from ZZZ company just because it has a ZZZ logo sticker on it.

Oh well...difference in modification approach I guess.

It does not come with a gauge
