Default My Powerhaus AFPR is junk, anyone got a Bosch 3 bar for sale?

I am after a Bosch 3 bar reg after my piece of crap Powerhaus AFPR died after 10 months, I cant find my receipt after 10 months, lesson there! and they cant find a record. So I am boned. Anyone want this one for reconditioning? Maybe put a new flange in it? I would like to buy a bosch 3 bar, easier to tune with my setup I think. Offers?

Why don't you save the money on a 3 bar regulator, install your stock 2.5 bar, and use the money towards a larger set of injectors.

That's a far better solution. Plus... if you are really putting out 315DIN (which is approx 310SAE), you're getting real close to the limit of the stock injectors anyway.

I'm presuming by your sig that you have stock injectors.

Yup, stock injectors, they were hitting 99% for a period of time. Though I never ran leaner than desired. I thought SAE overestimated when comapred to DIN?

You're making a big mistake of running your injectors at that duty cycle. When they fail (and they will miss a "beat" eventually whether it's not opening up properly or locking open, etc...) you will wish you ran larger injectors.

Do it right.

Get some Siemens 72lbs injectors.

They work great, and will give you plenty of room to grow.

Any drawbacks on running 72lbs injectors if you only need 55lbs?
