Why is this better than the other
adjustable fuel pressure regulator kits out there?
The 5X unit is better because:
- It
utilizes the OEM FPR, which is a practically flawless part to begin with. We've
never had or heard of a problem with one for the 5+ years we've been racing
Miatas.
- It
does not have anything to do with modifying or altering the path of your fuel
lines. We don't require cutting into your fuel lines, which causes potential
for leaks and fire.
- It
uses the factory vacuum line, which keeps the pressure consistent, something
that you will not get with a universal adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Universal fuel pressure regulators dip and spike with different engine loads
and rpm spikes (missed shifts); ours stays consistent just as your factory
regulator would.
What will it do for my Miata?
The 5X fuel pressure regulator will allow you to adjust your fuel pressure at
your fuel rail from a low point of 22 psi to a high of 58 psi (all regulators might not be the same
and individual results might vary depending on the quality of regulator sent to
us) by simply turning
an adjustment screw which in turn alters your air/fuel ratio by increasing or
decreasing the fuel pressure to your engine. Adjusting your fuel pressure lower
or higher will lean or richen your air/fuel ratio, which is essential for tuning
your Miata's engine for maximum horsepower, especially in stock based classes
like Spec Miata where modifications are extremely limited. For example: dialing
in more fuel equals a richer mixture of air and fuel, which will benefit low
rpm torque and horsepower for tracks that are tight and have low speed corners.
Dialing in less fuel will lean your mixture of air and fuel, which will benefit
high rpm horsepower for tracks that are 3rd gear through 5th gear tracks and do
not have tight turns. So, in essence, this product will allow you to adjust
your fuel pressure freely, which in turn adjusts your air/fuel ratio for
different tracks based on your need of more horsepower or more torque.
What will I need to use this
regulator on my car?
Using the 5X regulator
is as easy as removing the factory regulator on your car (two bolts), sending
it to us and then reinstalling it back on your car. It is the factory
regulator, so there is no worry about the fit and finish. When you install your
new regulator, simply follow your cars repair manual for "fuel pressure regulator removal/installation".
We suggest setting your fuel pressure to the factory setting range of 32-38 psi
at idle, then tune from there.
To properly
tune, you MUST have a fuel
pressure gauge either installed full time inline with your fuel line, or an
external attachable gauge to dial in your specified fuel pressure while idling
in the shop. In addition we HIGHLY suggest picking up an air/fuel ratio
gauge, such as the Innovate Motorsports LC-1 kit to be able to accurately
monitor and dial in your fuel ratio. If you don't have a fuel pressure gauge,
or air/fuel ratio gauge, our regulator is practically useless to your tuning
needs.
