BBK TPI ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR $35 OBO

For sale I have my adjustable fuel pressure regulator from BBK. Its still currently installed on the car (my daily driver) but it will take me a whole 10mins to remove. Its been working fine. Its still the nice "pearl" blue color it came with. The only modification that has been done to it is the trimming of the screw which is common. But I've had it from stock fuel pressure (43psi) up to 58psi (don't ask) and it worked and performed flawlessly. Here is a pic of the unit and the second pic is of it actually on my car. I'm only selling the blue hat itself and the washer that goes underneath. I'm not including the screws or the bit or the gaskets since I don't have any. I'm asking $35 OBO including shipping anywhere in the US and international buyers welcome, but contact me for a shipping quote. I'll be sure to clean it up like new before it gets shipped out and it will be shipped out within 24hrs of payment cleared. Let me know if there are any more questions...

Re: BBK TPI ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

I'm really interested but what is the bit and can I take the screws off the stock piece and use them on this or doesn't it work that way?

Re: BBK TPI ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

The bit is just a torx driver so you can undo and tighten the fasteners, not needed if you have a full set of torx bits.

Re: BBK TPI ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

racing geek; Twin_Turbo is right, you don't need a new or "special" set of torx bit. Any torx bit should work (T10). Your screws will work just fine. Just remove your old black factory regulator (hat) and put the included spacer/washer on top of the spring and then the BBK one. Line up the holes and put the screws back in. I'll assist you through out the whole thing if needed. Here is a thread with more details specifically based on this issue...

I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure. But what I can tell you is that the size and thickness is not crucial for its operational. As long as you have a metal disc that covers the full top of the spring (so the screw can make contact). Alot of people just use a Quarter ($0.25)

Re: BBK TPI ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

Why are you selling it and do you have a fuel pressure gauge for sale too?

Re: BBK TPI ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR

I am switching to an external fuel pressure regulator and modifying my TPI fuel rail for AN fittings. I do not have a fuel pressure gauge for sale. The only one I have is a 52mm gauge in the cabin but its not for sale...
