JMC 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Looking to get a Bosch 3.5bar fuel pressure regulator for my G60, but am struggling to find any of these for sale. Anybody know where I can get one from please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 22, 2009 1) Dealer. But don't ask the p/n or car. I know they exist though :D 2) Put a 3 bar reg in a vice / holder and punch the top in with a larger ball bearing to increase the spring pressure. 3) Buy a proper SX or aeromotive regulator that your decent engine deserves :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah that's how Stealth used to turn a 3 bar into a 4 bar reg :lol: The aeromotive and SX (externally the same) are remote FPRs and are the most stable and high flowing available. Awesome :D I can't remember what a G60 fuel rail looks like, so not sure how you'd incorporate one onto your application. Does it have a standard supply and return setup with the FPR plonked just before the return? I.e. like the VR6? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 22, 2009 It's a Porsche part - should be about £50 Just get the dealer to look up a part for a 1987 944S Non turbo Porsche number 944 110 198 03 Bosch number is 0 280 160 263 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Cheers Kev - I was hoping to keep it looking pretty standard under there, hence I'm gravitating towards the Porka one. Those others do look cool though :D Supercharged, cheers for the info. I've had a look on the Vortex site as well - they're giving a lightly different number (04 at the end rather than 03), which they are saying is something to do with it being a different pressure. Think it might to time to check wih the friendly Porsche dealer.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah there was a 3.8 Barr iirc so it might be that... PD motorsport (now Darren at G-werks) used to supply them but not needed since the newer SNS chips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted January 22, 2009 or something like this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fuel-Pressure-Reg ... 240%3A1318 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 24, 2009 That won't fit a G60, it looks like the smaller size that you get on the VR engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are a lot more than that from Porsche - more like £80. May well be cheaper through Bosch - but numpty here didn't think of trying that :lol:. The part numbers are Porsche number 944 110 198 04 (not 03 as per above, 03 was 2.5bar one from memory) Bosch number is 0 280 160 263 Takes about 10mins to swap. Has it solved my problem of going slightly lean on full throttle - no idea, not had it back on a wideband yet, but it does run perfectly fine and hasn't effected my fuel economy.
