Ebay 1:1 AFPR

[1213579w]

I am looking to upgrade my fuel system so I can turn the boost up on my 16g. Well I was curious what ebay had and found this.

DSM FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR KIT 1G2G ECLIPSE GS GST GSX : eBay Motors (item 220457736805 end time Apr-21-10 14:01:44 PDT)

I searched and what I found were people saying they were crap because they weren't 1:1. Well this one is and I am curious if anyone is using it because it looks identical to Aeromotive without the engraving.

This isn't an item that I would cheap out on. I would rather spend more money and know you have a quality product. If this doesn't work right it will do some damage. Its your car so buy it and see how it works.

I usually do not trust ebay stuff, but I bought some things the past with great success. For the price, it is not bad, but do not be surprised if it does not last.

Pretty sure ours are 1:1
You need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator so you can play with fuel pressure to get the best of reliability, adjustment, and tuning.

Whoops didn't see it was adjustable. Yeah, I'd stay away from ebay.

it does say adjustable and it is. Its very similar to the fuel lab, the looks of it. Its still a risk. though im going to use an ebay external wastegate in the future

As stated, you take a risk when buying ebay parts, but there have been many people who had success with different items. I have some ebay things and they work great and have been since I bought them. Its a hit or miss thing.

I have no problem spending the money to get a name brand item. I'm the kind of person that likes to give other companies a try. That's how they get their name out. So many people buy only name brand items when so many companies make the same thing for cheaper. But thanks for the info guys, just wondering if anyone had tried it.

Those are adjustable. If anything fails, like the diaphragm - you can replace the broken/worn/cheap parts with authentic ones from a similar designed product such as an Aeromotive AFPR - Aeromotive 13109 - Aeromotive A1000-6 Injected Bypass Regulators - Overview - SummitRacing.com


Same thing applies to ebay brand external wastegates. If cheap screws/threads strip, tap/die set fixes everything.

I've been running a ebay external gate for 4+ years, no problems, rock solid boost.

It's Very hard to mess up the design of a external wastegate.

I wouldn't buy a cheap fuel pressure regulator
