Get the Nismo FPR and save yourself the headache. Most times cheapy-cheap= a busted motor!

I'm running a NISMO FPR and it's not too bad. The outlet is angled the wrong way, but all you have to do is loop the hose around and that's it. Not a big deal at all. You WILL need to figure out some sort of fuel pressure gauge so that you can set the pressure properly. I built an underhood gauge for about $20. It needs to be between the fuel filter and the fuel rail. I put mine RIGHT after the fuel filter. I got a brass "T" and some nipples ( I don't remember the diameter of the fuel line, so take some to the hardware store with you). For the gauge I work at a pool store and so I used a gauge that we normally use on pools. They're like $10. It vibrates a lot when the motor is running, but it gives you an aproximate idea of where you're at.

To setup the NISMO FPR, I reccomend, not doing it when the car is running. Bypass the fuel pump relay over in the black box by the battery. With the new gauge and FPR in, motor off, and pump running, adjust the FPR till the gauge reads about 36psi.

If you want pics of my setup, lemme know and I can take some.
