Evening guys,
I know there are many manufacturers of FPR's out there with SX and Fuel labs being the two most popular based on the threads I've seen.
However....
I'm specifically looking for people who currently or previously have run the Sytec adjustable FPR.
What did you think of it?
How long have you/did you run it for?
If you have changed it, why was this?
Mappers, have you had experience of mapping cars running this FPR and if so, what were your experiences?
I'm looking for actual experiences and not just 'I know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone and they said they're ****'.
If you know someone who has or had one then feel free to post their experiences and thoughts if they aren't on here if they are more than a one word answer.
I've used the search function and have not been able to find any real product reviews of this FPR, if I've missed a thread that has answered my questions then please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Andy.

I ran one for a couple of years at over 400bhp with no issues. I only changed it when I went for a bigger turbo & a Bosch 044 external fuel pump, at my mappers request I put a fuel lab on. Not sure why but he said the fuel lab is more reliable & the Systec could be a problem with more power.

Ensure it's the 1:1 rising rate, 6 bar, version - MSV001 or MSV003 (jic fittings)

Thanks for the reply. I had been looking at the sytec sar001r but that only goes to 5 bar and not 6.

There's the FSE air007 or air008 (jic fittings). They're 1:1 rising rate and 6 Bar - same as the Sytec, but less blingy.

Yeah, I've seen the fse stuff but haven't read good reviews of them with issues of fluctuating fuel pressure being a major concern.
Thanks,
Andy.

Also interested in this as my budget wont stretch to a fuelab at the moment and theres none on the 2nd hand market

Looked around and the Sytec seems decent value for money and I cant find any negative reviews.

My only problem is knowing where/how to fit it on a classic and whats needed (shopping list anyone) ??

You can fit it anywhere in the engine bay as far as I have seen.
If you are replacing a standard FPR then you'll need the adapter to replace it in the end of the fuel rail.
If you are using push on fittings then you'll need 8mm fuel injection hose and hose clamps suitable for fuel injection pressures.
