As far as I can tell the Nismo FPR part number is 22670-RR580. It also looks like it does NOT come with a gauge so I'm interested to hear what gauges you guys are running.

Since I'm going to be ordering the MSD ignition and switches from Summit I might as well pickup a gauge as well. Also, if you look in this thread (http://www.sr20deforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30813) you can see pics of Andreas's 200+ hp DE with FPR and gauge installed. I'd like to do something similar.

Thanks,

Steve

put a T in the supply line and get your pressure signal from there.

Yep. I'm using a small VDO gage installed inline using barbed fittings and clamps.

Something like this fitting (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=30) and this gauge (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=9741)?

The fitting has 3/8" barbed ends. Is this the right size?

Thanks,

Steve

That would do it. I just bought 3 gauges from www.egauges.com. Should come soon. They also sell VDO.

Shit!!!!! I wish I had known such a fitting existed when I chose to install my gage. Would have made life soooo much easier :o

From reading elsewhere on sr20deforum it looks like the right size is 5/16". I was only able to find one place that has a fitting with this size requirement.

See this page (http://www.flatlanderracing.com/carbsbb.html) part number 10400. It accepts a 1/8" NPT fitting for the gauge.

sorry to bring this thread back, but can someone list all the necessary parts/sizes for installing a gauge with the nismo fpr?

SteveSteve- did you use this part with success? are the ends barbed?

Yes, the ends are barbed and I'm using it without problems.

thanks. did you order from that site? looks like you need $30 minimum there...

I'm pretty sure that's the only thing I ordered... certainly never encountered the $30 minimum. Shipping was probably just as much as the fitting, though. Total cost including shipping was on the order of $12-13, IIRC.

Pardon my ignorance but how would a NISMO FPR benefit me ?

thanks... i'll give it a try. one more question... where do you tee the gauge? in the line going to the FPR or the line going to the fuel rail?

So if I get that gauge and that fitting, I don't have to get any other fittings, right? The gauge screws into the adapter? Thanks!

No. You want the 5/16" not the 3/8".

just curious if the using the 3/8" fitting will affect fuel pressure? or will the hose not even fit?

From my exeperience putting fuel lines on my car, the 3/8" will fit and you can use hose clamps to make it tight but it is in no way a snug fit.

The 5/16" is a nice snug fit.

Ok, so you are saying I need to get the one from your page, "Flatlander" that is 3/8size, and it has a 1/8 size fitting for a gauge? I'm confused, sorry. I really don't understand this fitting thing, it makes me nervous. I went through it with my turbo setup too.

I think what he was asking, was if the 3/8 fitting will work with the 5/16th hose. Not a 3/8 hose with a 5/16 fitting. I bought a 3/8 adapter, and I'm going to see if I can get it to work.
