the only way you can install a fuel regulator is with a return fuel system. Atleast this is what i think. AS for performance only way to get a lot of power is turbo, swap or spend a lot of money on a nice n/a setup.

Why do you want to install a regulator ?? Our stock pumps have one built in. You don't need to go messing with that stuff.

You don't have to mess with it and the FPR on the stock system is not adjustable. I boost at 9psi daily on a stock regulator with a Walbro pump.

with the bigger fuel pump you must use bigger injectors aswell right?

i've seen the rsx-s injectors on ebay and thought about buying them for $100
good or bad deal?

It's not so much the pump that determines you needing bigger injectors, it's the fuel requirements of the car.

Stock injectors can't hang above like 1psi on a boosted setup, they're only like 220cc. RSX-S injectors are good to about 180-whp (ish) as they flow 310cc. $100 isn't bad for them, but you can find them cheaper. I picked up my SRT-4 injectors (stage 1, 577cc) for $60 shipped.

Yes there is a way to run an aftermarket regulator and return line with zero modification to the fuel rail....

Yes, but your way makes my head hurt Andy and I've forgotten how you did it.

Re: can somebody help me out with a fuel regulator

Well mine is run normally, I have a manifold and rail made by Gery. The way to do it is very simple. Just tee the feed line before the rail. One side of the tee goes to the rail, the other to the fpr, then drop the return line back to the tank.
