correct fpr?

Will this fpr work on our cars?

http://www.bloxracing.com/prod_fuel_pressure.asp

They're running a special on it this month and the regulator and a gauge is $75. Can't bet that, I just have no idea if it would work or not. Thanks for help.

Maybe, but why do you need it? You already have a piggyback, I've heard that an FPR can cause problems with the piggyback as the piggy already adjusts fuel levels.

I read on RPW's website that a fpr will get rid of the 2500 rpm flat spot. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can to make sure this works (both the idea and the fpr). If an fpr is what I need for this goal and this one will not work, then where can I get one that will?

You don't need one, you already have something to modify fuel delivery (the piggyback). An FPR is useful for a car without a tuning device as a means to modify fuel delivery.

So would a more custom tune (not the one the piggy come with) be more what I'm looking for. If so, all I need is the software, right? And of coarse, someone who knows how to use it.

Would a bored fuel rail do anything for my setup? Or even slightly bigger injectors? Can I tune for all that with the piggy?

Bored fuel rail is worth it, injectors are a waste considering you have very few engine mods.

Could you explain why a bored fuel rail would be worth it? I have compared the stock fuel rail to an Evo stock fuel rail and the Evo one is actually smaller. And the stock Evo fuel rail is good for alot of horsepower. Is there something I am missing here?

The fuel rail won't make power, I (and others) have found it helps to get rid of the flatspot in the powerband and makes for better throttle response.

Wow, that's all I wanted, no more flat spot. And better throttle response...
what a concept, a non-****ty powerband. That's all I'm looking for. Thank you, amby.

Good point. I have long been an advocate of not doing anything to your fuel rail. I can't see how a bored fuel rail would be beneficial, especially since I've seen 400 whp Mirages with stock rails.

Excerpt from an MR2 site
There is a myth that the stock fuel rail needs to be bored even with stock injectors because it does not supply enough fuel to the injectors.
I could be wrong though . I dunno, call me a cynic or someting but I would like to see something that would justify getting a bored fuel rail.

Also, I have not examined the rails, but another option for FPRs has been teh AEM Integra 94-01 FPR, just using a bigger o-ring. I had one on the car but sold it for an Aeromotive, but there have been mixed reviews about it.

So which the hell one do I need to take out the flat spot? I'm not saying that I don't trust you guys that have posted, but we are in a forum here... I guess I just want something more than an "I think this" or "I think that". Just the wonder that is 'online informantion' I guess. Anyone else got anything... Lets try to some more opinions and personal experience.
