Tell me when you turn the key to 'on' to prime the pump, where does the needle go to.

and when you turn OFF the car, where does it come to rest?

Someone with a B-series, Prefferably a B18a/b motor.



running at 100+PSI at the filter.

I wanna verify the gauge is good without replacing it with another cause noone has a spare in my area. Just did a B+M Adjustable FPR install and suspect I did something wrong, just kinda wanna verify it.

B+M Uses the stocker, its a modifier, and its known as a good unit typically. so the stocker IS now the B+M unit.

I do not have $200+ to spend on an AEM or Aeromotive adjustable unit, I spent $200 on 2/3rds of my turbo stuff. (Excluding the turbo)

stock is 43-44 IIRC. 100-110 is not safe, and I'm not making hella power yet, I will be making 250+ once I get an ECU, oil lines, and injectors for the turbo kit thats ready to go on the car.

Completely and totally wrong, on every level.

1) B&M is a known path to failure, which is exactly what you are experiencing.
2) Having $200 to throw away on an AEM or Aeromotive adjustable unit that you do not need is not the issue at hand here.
3) You, sir, dine on *****.


I hate adjustable FPRs. You know what I have to do everytime a car rolls up with one? I waste 5-15 minutes of my time setting it to the stock 41 psi for no logical reason. If they'd just rolled up with a B-series large exit unit, ----, they never ever ever go bad and can handle Walbro 255 HP, A1000, etc. I've made 640+ on a stock regulator, and as soon as Goforth's new mani/turbo goes on I'll make 900. What the ---- is so special with your $200 kit that you think you need an adjustable unit, and a crappy adjustible unit at that.

I asked before 'what is a large exit B-series unit' and no one answered me, what it is, where to get it, or how much it cost. I know my stock 96 B18B1 FPR can't handle 255lph, and that it would be north of 55PSI which is too much.

I got the adjustable because I was told it would work 'good enough' and that the stocker would not.

PLEASE LINK ME TO WHAT I SHOULD BUY!!!
