Datnastybrat Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 What have you guys swapped it with? I can't seem to find OEM anywhere and might as well upgrade with one that has a gauge. From the manual it says operating PSI range is 26-30 psi. https://photos.app.goo.gl/b9mVjtT5sZ8nsuzVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Step-a-toe Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 What manual you refer to? I think factory Shop manual for flapper turbo is 36 psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datnastybrat Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Both the Bentley and Fuji service manuals, regardless what aftermarket FPR can I use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Step-a-toe Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Mmm....as for replacement, have you looked at Rockauto for a like for like? If you google username Discopotato03 ausubaru.com.au and fpr you may find the aftermarket unit he used on EA82T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The previous owner of my EA81T coupe replaced the OEM pressure regulator with an aftermarket one. I'd go that route unless you can find a spare regulator someone has saved on a shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the manual it says operating PSI range is 26-30 psi. https://photos.app.goo.gl/b9mVjtT5sZ8nsuzVA I went w/an aeromotive 13301 after trying a $20 ebay counterfeit Chinese Tomei(goggle it). https://aeromotiveinc.com/product/universal-bypass-regulator/ The $20 one almost worked OK,but,the spring is too stiff(when adjusted for 36psi) to be responsive enough. The 13301 works great so far.Even improved transmission shift points. Stock operating range is 26-43 psi depending on vacuum/boost 26-30 is idle fuel pressure. Fuel pressure is always 36psi higher than manifold pressure. The gauges that come with the regulators are garbage.Almost useless unless visible from the cabin anyway.I use an electric one.

GeneralDisorder Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Haven't been impressed with the Aeromotive stuff of late. Radium Engineering is my choice. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
