Fuel pressure gauge

[88BlueShelbyZ]

Does anyone know who makes a fuel pressure guage that connects to the schrader valve on the fuel rail? I can't seem to find the right one.

Thanks

Installing on the shrader valve is not recommended. Causes stress from vibration and possible to crack and leak fuel.
You can get a small 0-100psi fuel pressure gauge for $20 and a T fitting for $6 ( from jegs or summit) and place it in your fuel line.

Thanks, I was just reading about that in a previous posting.

Instead of hooking it right on the schrader valve take a 3'' peice of fuel line put it on the schrader valve then the gauge. Then there wont be any vibration. Plus you dont have to cut into your fuel line causing a possible leak over time

[89turbomini]

just make sure u unscrew the valve thingy on the inside of the schrader hook up or u wont get a reading on your gauge found that out the hard way

Or Support the TD Vendors, www.turbonation.com or www.fwdperformance.com
Look for the Fuel Pressure Test Kit

as a newbie i need to ask...

do you mount the gauge before or after the fpr.

[88BlueShelbyZ]

Ya know, that is a great question. Because I want to know the pressure after the AFPR so I know what it is set at. And if that is the case I would need to use the schrader valve, which everyone says not to use. I guess I will just order the kit from FWD that allows you to use the schrader.

I picked mine up at a local hydrolic shop (Roncos). They set it up with 6 feet of stainless stell braded line for me, and all the fittings was only $60 with the gauge..... Turned out absolutly flawless

Raymont I assume it's inside? did they also set it up for use with a isolator? just curious?

[Raymont]

No isolator Its a tad on the illegal side. I took a 4 way Brass-t, and they made an adaptor for a AN compression fitting, and from there the 6 feet of braided line went right into the little console thingy above the radio in my turbo mini, along with my a/f gauge, and boost gauge. It looked pretty nice. Its a liquid filled gauge too.

you do not measure the pressure after the FPR, using the schrader valve is still before the FPR.

I emailed turbonation 10 days ago and haven't gotten a reply.

hmm, I don't understand. Doesn't the AFPR determine how much fuel is allowed to enter the fuel rail? And correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the schrader valve on the fuel rail???
