Looks like a B6 fuel rail??? What is included, and will you take a bad check from out-of-state? (Never hurts to ask)
I saw the pics on Facebook...looks like a high quality unit.

i like it, now what's the bottom line?

According to Matt, the base price is about $108 I believe.

[Grey Vw]

That's pretty cheap.

[FestYboy]

yeah it is.... the next question is can that unit act like an FMU?

[gergorian]

Yes it can. It can do a 1:1 ratio on the built in boost reference port. Now, I don't know if that I is changable to say, a 2:1 or 3:1. But, I know that it will do 1:1 out of the box.

would be awesome!

Nice. Xwhatever to the FMU question. It looks to be not proportioned like other FMUs with room for a big disc in it, but I'm thoroughly speculating. I wouldn't expect full adjustability from a $100 FPR, but then I never expected 266hp from a B3 either.

More knowledge, please.

Taken straight from the description of one of the pics on Matt's Facebook.

Each FPR is 100% hand built here at DAE. Offering exceptional quality that I guarantee because I built it. Out FPR's are available in 2-port & 4-port configurations for Carb & EFI applications & are threaded for AN fittings or NPT threads for simplified, cost affected applications. All EFI applications feature 1-1 boost reference & are available with or without pressure gauge & are completely rebuild-able. Also, '86-'98 5.0, 5.8, 4.6 & 5.4 direct fit applications are available with more to come. Effective immediately, ALL FPR come standard with GFLT pressure diaphragms for use with leaded/unleaded gas, blended fuels & ethanol/methanol.

For reference it is the last picture http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...6867515&type=1 in this album.

So 1:1. Still a great deal.

Our Pro-Series Billet FPR is a regulator not an FMU. It does have 1-1 boost reference. If turbo charged with OE ECU & injectors, an FMU is used in conjunction with the FPR. The biggest advantage with our unit is the adjust-ability of 20-80 PSI rail pressure, which is necessary as performance is increased on an engine. As ported intakes & heads, cams & headers & just plain anything that increases power, the engine will run lean offering less performance from your mods. Since most of you don't want to spend the money on a DFI system, fuel pressure adjustment is the only way to manipulate a fuel enrichment system. I have dynoed these engines & found significant changes in performance just by adjusting 2-4 PSI of rail pressure. The biggest advantage is when CI is increased such as a B6 swap running B3 ECU & injectors.

Is there an application for this for non-turbo cars? Say, a 100hp B6 or an 80hp B3?

Absolutely perfect for this application. Dialed in AFR & significantly increased drivability & mid-range torque. When our test Festiva was @ 70 RWHP. Since then it's 112 RWHP & is an absolute must at this level. With OE ECU & stock injectors, 62 PSI rail pressure is needed to correct AFR.

So, just to make sure I understand, does it use a vacuum signal like the OEM regulator as well?
