F927UBS OP Making a profit F Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 260 Scotland	Hi all, I've been told that I can fit a different FPR from an Audi to increase my fuel pressure to 3.8bar, Does anybody know what car I need to get one from.. Walbro fuel pump installed, getting ready to fit my gt28r turbo and FMIC!!!, Cheers in advance, Tim Back in the game

MichaelZ Unregistered M	You should use Bosch FPR number 0280160587 (according to Bosch catalog). It cost about 35-40 pounds (in Russia), used on some German cars, and completely plug-n-play. Good luck!

MattW Unregistered M	Do you think you will need one? Mine's running fine on the standard FPR.

MichaelZ Unregistered M	Maybe he want's to use 28r without remapping? ))) Not the best idea...

MattW Unregistered M	I'm using the 28r without remapping, on the standard FPR. All running well with perfect fuelling. No need to upgrade it unless it runs lean on the RR. It can also mess up the fuelling as well in some situations I believe.

Next time I'm over in Italy I hope to bring back a kappa 2.4 cylinder head/engine....The main reason for going to the higher pressure was to get better fuel atomization... I have a spare engine/gearbox/drive shafts etc so I'd like to build up a monster.. A bit like the integrale, but a bit more day to day usable... Thanks for the part number though... Back in the game

Then it is easy to adjust fuel pressure, also over 3.8bar. Last edited by Ismo; 24/01/2009 14:41. Reason: ECS adjustable fuel pressure regulator is direct fit to Fiat Coupe

Ismo Unregistered I	AMW's is only lid not with Bosch Pressure regulator as the other seems to have... So, you have to use your old regulator (10 years old)
