This product is so far so good and the best FPR for the money it is very easy to install and i recomend it to those that need it. The purpose i got it was 1. for the nitrous ill be getting and im using a non vtec ecu and am using the extra fuel for the vtec if that makes any sense. :D

I have one of these too on my d16z6 swap, it works good so far - a fuel pressure gauge of some sort is recommended too.
Four months and 4500 miles later it`s still working good.

just dont use it with a bigger fuel pump like the walbro 255lph.. you will never get it below 45- 50 psi on idle .. i hated it, i guess it will work fine on the stock pump cause it does not flow that much

i hated my B&M hacksaw special....its stupid to buy,and the money you save will be made up in the end when you have to go and buy a oem one for 90 bucks.....oh and with an upgraded fuel pump it wont work.

aem fpr does it for my d16y7
So basically what your saying is that a B&M adj fpr is a band-aid until you get a larger fuel pump and a better adj fpr that will handle the added fuel?

i like my b&m fpr and gauge so far. and i keep my fuel pressure at 53 with no vaccum hooked up. so i guess that getting a bigger pump won't matter too much huh?

I had the same exact problem with mine!
Pieces of shit if you ask me.
Shit I could go down to the machine shop and make one out of a hunk of aluminum for $5 and sell em for $50. What a joke!

Excellent find.
Yeah, it's bootleg... but that's what budget builds are all about! If it works it works and a modified B&M comes out about ~$125 cheaper than the AEM unit!

B&M's like to stiock open, bypass all the fuel back to the tank.
Car looses 75% of power and you smell fuel in the car!!!!!!
So I installed my Aeromotive ($180) and no more problems.
Anyone wanna buy a B&M FPR with the TOO mod??? CHEAP!

I personally know 3 different people who are tuned with Hondata running B&M FPR's, Walbro fuel pumps, and RC engineering injectors... All 3 have been running with out a hitch for over a year now, and all three are making around 200 whp NA (B-Series).
I also know many other people running B&M's who have had no problems. I just didn't use them as an example, as they are running a stock fuel pump.

I got medium N/A setup, and my B&M works like it should. I run 41 psi and no trouble. Tell why you said:

If you don't connect your return line, I believe you.

Having a 255 walbro is gonna make your fuel PSI higher no matter what FPR you get.
Especially the 255 HP ones. :)

i have a b&m fpr w/ gauge with a walbro 255, dsm 450s on a turbo y7 running uberdata. it runs great i run 48 psi right now but im turning it back down to 43-44. any higher than 45 and it really kills my gas mileage.
I've had one for at least four years now with zero problems. I needed to be able to adjust my WOT fuel pressure. I also added the bleed hole so the idle wasn't so rich.
With any product, suitability for your needs has to be determined, as well as working well with other products. I would think a mechanical engineer would know this. You know who you are.

im running a walbro 255 in mine and i did the ENDYNE trick a long time ago, i can lower it as low as i want and raise to where just raw gas comes out lol, but i gotta say, i havent really encountered any trouble with it. im constantly trying to find the right fuel pressure with the mods i have.

Where did you guys get the small drill bits from? and exactly what size is the bit supposed to be... the writeup on endyne is kind of unclear about exactly what size. Looking for the inch size and possible MM size.. thanks..
Anyone know if the B&M gauge is prone to cracking when its cold outside? Is the liquid inside freezing or is it some kind of liquid with a low freezing point?
-Thanks.

I have mine for 3 years now and I love it! USE A DREMEL to cut it open, really easy! Reliable as a stock one, you just fit and adjustable spring over it!
.035 inch = .0875 mm You can buy those bit at any hardware store!!!
