So, do you still use a vacuum signal like the OEM regulator?

Thanks Matt!

Our adjustable FPR works exactly like the stock FPR, it just gives you the ability to increase fuel pressure for tuning. It uses vacuum to reduce fuel pressure by 8-10 PSI at idle & cruise where a leaner AFR is useful for economy. Under wide open throttle, when vacuum drops, it increases fuel pressure to whatever KOEO PSI you set. If boost is present (it will raise 1 PSI of rail pressure per PSI of boost, this works with DFI & larger injectors with boost). If turbo charged with stock injectors a FMU is still used after the FPR in the return line, the FMU in simple terms pinches off the return line to increase rail pressure by 4-1, 10-1, 12-1.......per PSI of boost. In any case the adjustable FPR allows for fuel enrichment in the mid range especially where an extreme lean condition occurs (on hopped up engines) & works much like an accelerator pump function to smooth lean condition when throttle is quickly opened.

Me thinks this is exactly what I need for my B6 swap. I did upgrade to the B6 ECU and larger B6 injectors, but adding the ported head, bigger exhaust and even the mild FMS cam most likely leaned it out. I was considering installing an aftermarket adjustable FPR anyway....but you just did all the fab work to make it an easy bolt-on. It also makes tuning by "seat of the pants" and reading the plugs a little more feasible.

It also makes it easier (and cheaper) for guys upgrading to a larger engine like a SOHC B6 or B8 and be able to tune it without switching out the stock ECU or injectors.

Hey matt would this fpr be able to keep up with your header and a 2" exhaust with an intake pod filter and no other mods to the car?
Or would it need a bigger fuel pump?
I understand with bigger mods it needs the fuel pump.But with just an intake and exhaust would it work alone?

Our pro series FPR flows nearly 250 GPH which will support 2,000 HP. i think t will be ok for your application, but just barely

Well, Matt beat me to the punch...

The stock setup should be capable with that. You would really only need it if you have had your head ported and one of Matts cams.

I would consider an adjustable fpr a worthy addition when any perfomance mod is done. Not only does it allow you to increase fuel pressure,but reduce it as well. I have found EFI festivas run 11.8 to 12.2 afr @ WOT in stock or near stock form. In this case you can increase HP as well as MPG by lowering the fuel pressure.

[rmoltis]

Awesome!
In that case this will be my next addition after the exhaust setup.
Thx for the quick reply.
Can't wait to get everything setup.
Thx for supplying the quality products.

Appreciate your patience,( as well as every one else with orders for that matter) parts are being built in order inwhich order was received, will start shipping out next week!

DAE Billet Pro-Series Adjustable FPR Kit for '90-'93 Ford Festiva

How much for the flanged rail adapter by itself?

[mattdickmeyer]

Not sure i want to sell just the rail adapter. I would realisticly have more time in building it,that i could charge for it. Beside i put a considerable amount of time developing a completly bolt on kit.

[sketchman]

Understood. I'll make one from the old FPR. No biggie.

Looks sweet! Income tax returns are ALMOST here.......I feel the need for some Festiva Goodies! Or Mustang Goodies....I'm torn between them. I do need to get a set of valve springs for sure, but do I buy a custom cam for the B6 or a set of 4.10 gears for the Mustang????
