hey guys. can someone please tell me what is the best adjustable fuel pressure regulator out in the market today. i have run a search and no previous posts help me, i am after one for my VLCT and i was wondering which brand is best and also where to get it from and also how much i will be looking at. i have been told and found out from others that Malpassi is crap. What do you guys recommend? Paul

thanks for that, you know where i can read more about this brand. to be honest i wont be runnin methonol on it, but 360 is a bit much for a fuel regulator. anyways if u know where i can buy one or read up on one then that would be great cause then i can decide if i should spend that money or not on one. i am after peoples opinions on what is good and not before i go spend alot of money on this little upgrade What about the brand SARD, are they any good, like whats the diff between say a sard and a SX? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've never heard anything bad about Malpassi's. You can pick them up new quite cheap off ebay.

Rubin.. wats goin through ur brain hahaha ! he just said he aint running meth.. so he wont be needing a reg that can tolerate it. therefore malpassi, sard, sx, would all be ok.. the malpassi being probably the best bang for buck.. lots of ppl use them.. alot of people without any issues at all...

I know of two engines that f@#$ed out because a malpassi and numerous others that were saved just in time, from malpassi winding themselves down. Don't skimp on it and get an sx. ask any decent race car builder what they use.

thanks for that guys, had a read of the SX fuel regulators and they look like they are great. anyone know if SARD is any good, i heard they are but not sure. but all in all looks like the SX is the way to go Also besides CAPA, would anyone know where else i can get a SX from? cheapest i have found includin delivery is about $380 (next day delivery)

sard is really good and u will pay as much as an sx for it though quality is much better than a malpassi , but i must admit i never had a problem with my malpassi in the couple years i had it.
