I just finished installing my new adjustable fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure gauge.
I decided to build my own fuel pressure gauge kit because i wanted something safe and precise.
I didn’t want the gauge at the end of the fuel rail because it vibrates too much and hood clearing issue’s.
So i bought a big 2 ½ liquid filled pressure gauge and i got a custom stainless steel Teflon hose and crimped fittings. I got all of this at a local hydraulic shop and it's bolt-on to the fuel rail. It’s completely leak proof and can take well over 1500psi of pressure and 450F of direct heat.
For a grand total of 40$. You can't go wrong with that price.
Here some pic’s, tell me what you guys think about this low cost setup.

I would head back to the same shop and get some braided line to replace the fuel hoses. looks good so far,

Did you take the fuel rail with you to get it done? The car? Just the end cap?

I need to do the same, I have a smaller gauge that SFR sold me and I was thinking of getting the adapter sold at 9xauto...



But this looks like a better setup and for about the same price.

 

I will also replace the fuel line's with the same s/s line with crimped fitting.(it's much cheaper than using AN fitting and it looks good enough for me.)
The reason i did not do them in the same time is because i just wanted to test the afpr i got. And i am not driving the car until next summer.

I just went there with the cap and tolled them what i wanted.Lucky for me they had the metric fitting for the fuel rail. Whiten 10 minutes i was on my way home with my kit.

You guys will never guess where i got this afpr from!!!

This afpr was meant to go on a 87 Buick Regal Turbo. It's the same regulator most people are using accept for the screw in return line and it's about 60$ cheaper.
I guess you guys think i'm cheap for not buying from the Porsche guys but a 60$ difference for you guys make's a 100$ for me here in Canada.
And at 26 owning a 951 and wanting to modify it plus saving for a house, is not easy so i have to cut cornes somewhere right.

I wish there was cool machine shops where I lived

You don`t need to go to a machine shop. All the parts i used are of the shelf and can be found at probably any hydraulic shop.
But if you can`t find one i can get you the same thing that i got?

 

We can modify your stock rail to accept one of our liquid filled fuel pressure gauges. We also gaurantee that the placement of the gauge will never ding your hood or harm your car in anyway:^) Price for the fuel rail mod is $75. The gauge is also $75.
