Hight cost of Fuel Pressure Regulator and Dampener

[BoxsterGT]

It looks like the costs have gone through the roof on these components.

The same with the 911 3.2 Carrera versions.

We are still working on our Modular versions for the 911 that are reasonable in cost.

They use the Modular 993 style Fuel Pressure Regulator and a similar Fuel pressure Dampener.



A customer asked if we had a modular version for the 944. Thought we would ask about them here.

I know there are others on the market, but since we have ones for the 3.2 911 the 944 version may sell too.

Any interest? Priced between $150 - $200 as a bolt-in part for either the FPR or the Dampener.

For info email me, len.cummings @ verizon.net but without the spaces.

Please NO pm's as my box is FULL.

Thank you for your reply. We must keep these wonderful vehicles on the road for generations to come. My Grandson will get mine.

Great thinking, Len... keep up the good work ...gb

it seems there are quite a few different fuel pressure regulators avaiilable, some are adjustable.

maybe its a good time to differentiate between the differences, as some 944's require a different pressure than others.

later ECU's may have some choices on fuel maps so I think this later feature may influence the ability of the car to compensate for a difference from the stock fuel pressure.

somewhere on the web I had found a list of diferent makes and models and their corresponding fuel pressure which seemed to be a way to perhaps find other cars with similar pressure demands. I don't seem to be able to find my way back to that link

I see there were a number of past threads on the subject, using search within thie 944 forum produced a lot of data

I saw in the past someone had taken the time to list the part numbers needed to replace the stock fuel lines with aftermarket alternatives, anodized aluminum fittings.

Ill need to adress my fuel system in my early 85 944 and Im thinking maybe I can go that route.

seems practical that it may be possible for Len or someone to put together a kit as the cost of buying all the hoses and fittings can also be quite expensive.

trying to sort out all the necessary parts is a bit confusing , the best I could come up with is the thought of just removing all the hoses except the hard lines.
a local parts distributor said they could help with the matching things up so I can obtain the correct parts. Im not the best at ID'ing all the fittings.

I think the stock system used a metric line and it doesn't seem common, nor the ablilty to replicate the OEM style crimps but it may be reasonable to use a marine type fuel line with a heavy line thickness for use in FI systems.

some who have very original cars may not want to alter the fuel line or fittings from stock, for me Im just interested in replacing them with new lines and fittings for reliability and not breaking the piggy bank to do it.

in mine the short hose from tank to filter rotted and ruptured and it lost all its fuel quite suddenly and unexpectedly

this potential to leak the whole tank is a thing I think all owners of the early systems should be aware of. That ( gravity fed) hose should be renewed if it is old.

Imagine the fire that could result by all the gas in your tank leaking out while your car sits quietly in your garage, just for the sake of about 4" of rubber hose.

If you have an early style gravity-fed metal tank, please check this hose. if it has an in tank pump and a plastic tank, thats a later version.
