Buschur Fuel Preasure Regulator Question

[92Talon251]

I have a Question about the Bushchur Fuel Preasure Regulator. I currently have it installed on my car and I was wondering, do I need to have the vaccum line that goes to the regulator hooked up at all times? The reason I ask is the metal fitting where the Vac hose hooks in as popped off some where down the road and I cant locate it. Also know any place where I can locate another fitting I have a pic it is circled in red.

You sure do. The regulator uses that signal to adjust the pressure. It should be a standard hardware store fitting, hit up Ace or True Value or something.

Yeah you will need that. That takes your vacuum reading and ups your fuel pressure 1psi per 1 psi of boost you run. So right now i wouldn't get into any boost if you are driving your car. You will go lean if you do.

Also you said it poped off ? Sounds like it striped out, so you will need to get a tap and make some new threads for the new oversized vacuum barb fitting.

Have fun with it.

YES. The FPR controls your fuel pressure. It does this through input from the intake mani through the mentioned vac barb. Without it, your just running base pressure with no 1:1 rise when under boost.

I didnt really get a chance to look at the threads on the Regulator. I noticed the problem when the factory boost guage wasnt moving at all when at idle (moves some most of the time) but, I went to advance auto they didnt have anything in a fitting like that. True Value hasnt been here in 3 years, and we dont have a Ace hardware. Any online stores that carry stuff like this? I will try napa might have better luck.

Dude I don't think you want to drive like this. Under boost you could be running DANGEROUSLY lean. So unless you can keep the turbo from spooling...get a buddy to drive you to Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, your local we-sell-stuff-people-need-like-nuts-and-bolts store.

I had to drive myself from school, though I didnt let the car build any boost it is parked now till I can find the part
