[Gly]

my sard FPR arrived today from RHDJapan,

plumers tape? teflon tape? what ever you all it?

i have to buy a few more fittings so i can mount the FPR directly to the rail.
its smaller than it looks on the PC,


.

[peter thomson]

I had to use PTFE tape to seal mine as it did leak around the fittings when first installed

[Gly]

aka plumbers tape :P cool,

also did you rail mount yours or somewhere else?

[peter thomson]

I have mine over near the traction control grey cylinder as my other one seemed to get very warm when mounted on the bulkhead above the turbo

[Gly]

ok... want to try an rail mount mine...

anyone got there FPR mounted on the fuel rail??

any pictures??

[peter thomson]

Rail mount would be great but if you fit a gauge there will be even less room. Do you think there is any chance of squeesing it in there. Or would you fit a sender for an electronic gauge

[Gly]

well im hoping it will all fit there, i got a mech guage,
gonna go shopping for fittings this week. hopefully i can make it all fit

[Kieran]

Gly - What fittings do you have for the sard FPR? What size are they?

[Gly]

only ones i got are the rail adaptor, and the 8mm hose tails that came woth the fpr,
i beleive all the threads are 1/8NPT,

ill get the rest of the fittings ill need from a local engineering shop

[Kieran]

Okay - Let us know what you need - I have one of these and haven't fitted it as I don't know what I need and don't need... I'm sure an under-bonnet petrol sprinkler system won't do much for my performance either.....:speechles

[Gly]

will do,

can anyone tell me do i use the original vaccum feed pipe?

(had a quick look this moring and it comes via a solenoid or something down by the factory boost solenoid?)

or do i make a new one direct from the intake plenum??

[peter thomson]

I used the factory solenoid without any problems

Here you go Q this is what your looking for:
http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22444
Also Carsten did a write up on OZVR4 here
http://ozvr4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=743
My FPR is mounted in roughly the same place as Carsten's

Also if your doing thing mod do you have a uprated fuel pump or planing on getting one?

If so there is a good write up in the Articles section on installing that too, and a write up on how to hot wire it!

Hope that helps dude :)

Donno if it makes a difference, but why not to try?

[VR4WGN]

lol i use tht stuff on insulating all the Stainless steam pipework on this Aseptic Bottling plant i made lol,awful stuff lol...

[taupodrifta]

has anyone who has fitted a fpr had problems when starting. Since putting mine in my car now takes ages to bleed up the fuel and start

[peter thomson]

When I had an unbranded fpr this happened, Fitting a sard and that stopped it

[Anderz]

Had the same problem with a cheap FPR. Tested it by removing the return pipe when engine was off and found out that it was leaking

[VR4WGN]

so i done 1 good thing by taking Carstens advise and not skimping on price for uality then lol?? yay ... ishould listen more often lol
