First off, this is not difficult at all. Just figured I'd fill this part of the forum a little more.
I bought this AFPR: EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pressure Regulator : -6AN
Keep in mind, those black fittings are NOT included.
I then bought the kit because as I started to piece together my own kit, I found that buying this was cheaper: EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Fuel Pressure Regulator Install Kit (Firewall Install): Mitsubishi Eclipse 90 - 99
Here's what I got:
(The guage does not come with the regulator)
Let's get started.
Install the line together so it looks like this. If you need help for the installation of the line go here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...how-work-stainless-braided-hose-fittings.html
Keep in mind, those -an fittings are really soft metal. You don't need to be the hulks man child to tighten these things, or else your going to round off the fitting. You can buy special -an wrenches to keep from mucking up the ends, but that would of course be an extra expense. I used just regular box end craftsman wrenches and don't think the ends got too messed up. So just keep that in mind.:
Then, start to piece together the regulator and its fittings. It should be layed out like this:
For the inside (O-ring side) teflon tape or the like is not necessary.
All together (Sorry its rotated funny, photobucket blows):
Now, relieve the fuel pressure throughout the lines by unplugging the electrical connector plugged into the fuel pump assembly that is located underneath the rear seat. Once its disconnected, crank the car over a few times and your set. Of course, if the car has been sitting over night then there will not be any pressure in the lines and then unplugging the connector would not be necessary.
Take off the old regulator. This thing:
Before:
After:
A little comparison:
Now the fun stuff. Start with the fuel rail side. Bolt the silver -an "adapter" to the fuel rail itself with the supplied allen bolts. On the -an threaded part, THAT is what you want to use teflon tape on. So after the teflon tape is wrapped around the threads tighten the -an line fitting onto the fuel rail fitting. How it should look:
If you notice, I had to take off the plastic cam gear cover to get it to fit. If your like me, I wanted everything back in place how it was from the factory so I had to do a little trimming. I was notified by snowborder714 and was told that you won't have to do any trimming if you get a 1g fuel rail (not a '90). So keep that in mind.
Trim whats in red:
