yours should be in the engine compartment above the waterpump. has two hoses attached to it.

that would be the regulator, i plan on buying an afpr from bavauto. it doesnt have a guage, i was asking those of you who have bought seperate fuel press guages

[delatlanta1281]

why don't you buy the one with the gauge instead?

Aeromotive makes a nice one for engines like ours.

1st one on the list, it is about $135. I ordered mine from Summit and it came with a guage

autometer electric fuel pressure gauge. sender is mounted in the engine bay tee-d into the fuel supply hose right at the fuel rail. that mounting bracket for the gauge is also an autometer part and gets the job done

mechanical gauge is way cheaper but i wanted to be able to monitor mine from inside the car while driving

any pics pics installed stu ?

I have it mounted on the shock tower with an M20 coil-clamp now. The guage says oil pressure, not sure why, since its a FPR.
It runs at 48psi, and advances 10 pounds at WOT

the main reason i wanted the one from bavauto was that you can mount it in the stock location. but i guess i can sacrifice that for the extra 60ish bucks

I have the bavauto afpr and a seperate autometer fuel pressure guage mounted next to the fusebox. I'll try to come up with pics asap (I'm in a different country than my car right now, but I'll get my bro to snap a pic and post it).

stu, did the fpr come with the adapter for the fuel rail?
if not where did you get yours, or did you just have one layin around

I had a remote. I don't trust the adapter at 56 psi. Stock mounting loation is the way to go in my opinion.

[NC325iC]

im not sure which one your advocating

i think the adapter would be able to seal just as well as an fpr mounted to the rail.

as promised:



The afpr is in the stock location (bavauto) and the guage is next to the fusebox (autometer)
