I fitted a second hand sard reg, came with gauge and only set me back £25! Works well, see my profile pic, bottom right. Keep an eye on ebay.

I've been offered a HKS fuel regulator......brand new. Are these ok? Is it worth fitting myself, or wait until I get my new turbo etc and do it all at once with a remap?

Sorry for the thread hijack.

It's no problem fitting yourself before the remap, set it to 3bar with the vac line off, then it will drop to 2.6 bar ish with the vac line on.

Obviously I'd need a guage for this? As I dont have any guages yet.

mit

Yeah, a gauge will help!

Would a garage be able to set this up with their own guage, then remove it. Or should I have a guage in the car?

Also....why 3 bar mate? Is the 3 or 2.6 a standard pressure for the car?

I would fit a gauge yourself, on the reg you choose, most have a port for this. You can buy them for £15 or so, and will help you set it up before you take it to the garage. I like to do as much as possible myself, cut down on the garage bills!
3bar is a standard pressure, which the garage can change on the map if needed.

Is there any guides mate? As I'd like to do it myself, but don't know a lot about cars as I'm just getting in to them.

This is it by the way.......should fit a 2003 STI?





Thanks a lot

Im sure there's one on here, do a search.
Basically:
Remove the old reg from the rail, its in front of the turbo.
Fit a fuel rail adaptor in place of the old reg
Connect this adaptor to the new reg with fuel hose
Connect the existing return line to the new reg(may need a longer 8mm hose)
Connect the vac line to the new reg(again, may need a longer hose, 3mm from memory)
And your done! (bar setting the pressure)
Just need to choose a location for the new reg.
Also, Carl Davey is a good place for the adaptor if you don't get one with the new reg Carl Davey, specialist Subaru Impreza parts supply

You'll also need AN hose fittings for that type too, poss AN-6?

Ok thanks mate! To be honest there is a local garage near me who are well priced (£50 for fitting a cam belt), and they are very good. So might give them all my business. I will have to get all the parts though, so will email the guy on that site thanks.

Would £30 be worth it for that Reg? As thats what my mate is after for it.



Thanks a lot for the help dude!
