    Tips on install---AEM FPR

    About to install a few parts before I go FI. My car is currently not FI, but I am going to install a AEM adjustable fuel pressure regulator, walbro 255, and change the fuel filter with a fuel pressure gauge.

    Is there anything I should know before I install the FPR? Looks pretty straight forward. Unbolt and disconnect vacuum line, and replace (with new O ring). Is that it? Thanks

    Are you using the factory fuel rail, the CT fuel rail assuming you're going CTSC, or are you mounting it remotely...say on the rear firewall?

    When I installed my AEM FPR, it didn't come with new copper washers for the fuel line attachment. Might want to grab some before the install.

    I am going the use the factory fuel rail. The AEM should bolt direct to the OEM fuel line. Plan on going with AP-X turbo it.

    Just take the banjo bolt with you to a hardware store, you'll find the right size to go around it. .

    You should be able to re-use the OEM aluminum crush washers, you will need to use the AEM adapter that fits the stock fuel line, it has an o-ring to seal it.

    Do not drop the bolts!

    According to the Aem website it fits to the Factory rail.

    Interesting to see pics once it's fitted.

    The NSX uses the same footprint as many other Honda/Acura regs.

    Aem also does Honda Fuel filters for stock replacement.

    They would fit also perhaps?

    Why are you installing the AEM FPR. The stock FPR is 1:1 and proven reliable. Unless you need to bump up the pressure because you are running injectors that are too small the stock should suffice.

    Re: Tips on install---AEM FPR

    Just finished the install.

    Tips:

    Take off fuel rail to mount. A lot easier to tighten the bolts. Make sure to have a few rags for the fuel. Buy a new hose clamp for the fuel line. Took me 30 minutes on my first try.

    I installed a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel filter. Easy to do.
