If you’re going to get an AFPR get one like this:

An A/F meter is pretty useless unless it's wideband

If you go with a fuel pump go walbro

Even though I haven’t played with the venom injectors myself, I believe the general consensus is that Venom Injectors don't have very accurate or reliable flow charts between each injector. A better choice would be RC.

I think, if I could only chose one to start with I would start out with the AFPR, and NOT that EBAY one.

RC 550 injectors and a Lexus AFM-if you don't have one already (I have one for sale).

Other than an A/F ratio meter not being useful if it isn't wideband, if you don't have fuel upgrades then it really isn't necessary to have one.

After you have the 550/Lex setup, I would suggest the fuel pump then the AFPR.

thanks, that stuff is really helpful. THe reason why i was looking to get the A/F meter was because I have the HKS Fcon fuel computer, was thinking the meter would help me tune it. Also I hadn't noticed that the MSD meter was not wideband. I know I need a wideband.

Adjustable FPR but get a better one then that!!!!

What makes another regulator better? A pressure regulator, no matter how you look at it has to work the same way. No one has tried the eBay one, so why put it down. That's one of the crap that annoys me on the forums. "DON't get this, don't get that!!" WHY??? YOu have nothing to back it up other than the "You get what you pay for crap," which isn't true. Just because 5 people out of the 100000s that buy the part complains about it in the forums, does that really make it worst than the other brands?

So please explain to me why the $250 billet fpr is better than the $60 steel one from ebay..................:naughty:

The design of course!

The plain Jane Malpassi's use a flat flap valve and have issues at high flow/boost settings so after about 450 hp you'd be better with something else as always any shortcuts in the fuel system WILL kill a 7M stone dead in seconds.

Tubbie-As IJ already said, the design is the difference between parts of different brands. Quality, reliability and such are also big factors in deciding what parts to buy.

If you buy cheap parts you should expect less from them. Cutting corners is never the way to go.
