tandino 1 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Very unreliable.I had one for a short time on my Saab turbo - they do the job in hand but have numerous problems in operation.My fuel pressure after being rock steady for months crept downwards over the space of two days by about 15psi - so much in one day that upon entering a multistorey car park the thing was splutering so badly that i could barely make it up the ramp... I had a inline autometer gauge on mine so i could check pressure regularly - i needed it too Dont really think its neccesary on a non turbo/forced induction car - and on a emissions controled car like the Vr - youll probalby find the ecu reigns in fuel to keep the car around stoichemetric condition.In other words i could think of better things to spend £100 on 8) Pete.

eViL 0 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I have one. It gives you a quick way of setting the fuel pressure to a required level. You could do with one if you are going down the forced induction route.If not, don't bother. Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Tbh Evil - your better off geting one off a Ford Cossie - admittedly they are not rising rate (they're fixed rate) but they are made by Webber and are V. reliable and you can get them from Ford breakers for £15 8) Pete.

Hiten 0 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 i've got one on my car and i've had no problems with it. i only got it as i did a few mods and needed that extra fuel. Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Give it time Hiten - mine was ok for about a year then it started playing up - luckily i had an Autometer under bonnet gauge on all the time i had it so diagnosis was easy.There also prone to the 4 hex bolts that pass through the main body coming lose - a remedy for this is to fit longer bolts and place a nut on the end of each bolt to prevent them loosening - better than allowing fuel to seep over the hot engine anyhow Link to post Share on other sites
