gostlrs..
by chance did any of the other cars have a solinoid on the firewall between the fuel pressure reg, and the manifold.. like a capri does???
or should i say like a b6t does....
listen,, if you push boost to a stock fpr. it will pop the inners and leak at the top arround the hat... trust me... we poped 3 FPRs on the festiva build, before we figured out it wasnt a honda, and you cant run the FPR to the mani without going through the solinoid on the firewall.
the valve closes under boost and is why you cant run your guage there.... if you splice in before the solinoid it may work....
but im tryin to tell you from experience... leave that, and the vacumme line going to the distributor, alone... theese both controll things that are vital to the car running properly and not blowing up, under higher boost pressures....
theese cars are older than dirt. and everything is vacumme controlled manualy.. old school....
nothing like the jdm monsters youve had... the technology in a jdm motor is more advanced...
things like timing are computer controlled on those cars and the turbo cars in japan have fprs made to see boost... some are even rising rate and boost relative....
but thats another rant....now aint it...
