3sgte fuel pressure regulator question - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello all I first started with a 1992 Mr2 T-top 2.2 n/a with 50k original miles. Sold the car a few years back and recently bought a 1991 Mr2 sunroof 2.2n/a converted to 1993 2.0 JDM 3sgte with 40k on motor.....the motor threw a bearing after a week of owning it and is being rebuilt this week I purchased a Walboro fuel pump as my setup still had the 2.2 fuel pump

Will I need a fuel pressure regulator also ?

The only known upgrades is a TRD short shifter, upgraded clutch, a b.o.v. and a turbo timer and the 255lph fuel pump is on its way.

I just want the car to be reliable as possible and am not looking to make it faster at this point.

Welcome to TN.
Stock regulator will be fine for your stock set up.You can go with more pressure, but it will only make you run pig rich without any added advantage. Since you're staying stock, why get an aftermarket pump and not OEM? Just curious. The pic is a little blurry, but the BOV looks OEM...

hope you didnt pay more than 90 bucks shipped for your walbro

one of the vendors over at mr2oc having a sale. i have similar set up switching an NA to turbo and so far i have had no problems with running the 91 NA FPR.
as far as running rich my first real tank(did a 500mile break in period) of gas is running me about 26mpg with zero freeway driving.
