currently looking into FPRs and actually found a almost new SARD FPR my brother used on a turbo civic years ago. Anyone have experience with these? Its adjustable but has no pressure gauge. its so small compared to the more common vortech and begi versions used on these cars.

Too many fakes, not worth the risk, you don't need one anyway.
Google "fake SARD FPR", "fake Tomei FPR"

im very sure this is a real one he bought from autobarn years ago. its been sitting in the shed all this time. i'll definitely need one as the car is getting a td04 6-8psi in a couple of weeks.

I just bought one, it came with a gauge. You can get the gauges on ebay

They are a good unit, it is small compared to the big old ones, but a very good and stable regulator.

I actually have an unused BEGI AFPR sitting in a box in the shed downstairs.... I don't know what it might be worth to you.....

I believe it should be the 2025 or equivalent - I bought it for whan I did my turbo conversion and found I never needed it

By the way - at this level of boost with the right increase in injector capacity and overall tune/ECU/management, you shouldn't be too sure of requiring an AFPR. I'm running 8lbs of boost, IC and 1.8 injectors on a Greddy Emanage Blue, and I've never needed to install the AFPR. At worst, I might have looked at installing a Wallbro pump, but haven't needed to.

That sounds great.. Our setups are similar, I actually have a greedy blue here too. Might have to pick your brains when it's time to tune it.

I'll send you a bunch of tuning maps if you'd like, including my current setup.

Why recreate the wheel when you can re-roll it

for those who are using this type of FPR are you using it as a standalone or using it in conjunction with the factory fpr? i ask because i went to install mine today and notice that the plate that bolts onto the factory fuel rail points the nipple directly at the vacuum line for the brakes. I cannot get both on without kinking a line. Can these be installed like the Begi and greddy RRFPR kits? similar to this
