Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit on Ebay

Will this kit work to make the swap from tbi to carb. I know its a knock off, but it looks as though it is exactly what you need and cheap. Any feedback is appreciated.

Re: Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit on Ebay

as long as you use the return style regulator it will work. you are still going to need some adaptor fittings for the steel lines. the only thing you might not like is the 100 psi gauge. you will need to get a different one ---maybe 10 psi.

Re: Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit on Ebay

Yeah like 92rs said, it looks like it will work. But you could get a Mallory one, which is posted on here a lot, for the same relative price. Granted it doesn't include the lines or gauge but those are nominal in price compared to quality. To each his own but I don't trust those kinds of knockoff Ebay parts, especially when it's fuel related.

Re: Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit on Ebay

yeah, i was kinda thinking the same thing... i'm on a tight budget, but i think if i'm gonna skimp on anything i'll just run rubber hoses and clamps instead of stainless

Re: Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit on Ebay

I'm running the Mallory 4309 fpr on my 92 RS with the rubber hoses and clamps and have had no problems with it at all.. I agree with ChrisC... better to buy name brand stuff and know that its gonna work well than to go with Ebay knockoff stuff and not know if they will work or not and how long it might last.. as they say, you get what you pay for.
