I noticed that some people did a group buy on some Fuel Pressure Regulators. My question is why do this when you havent done any mode (read: Forced Induction) that have different fuel delivery requirements over stock? What can be gained with this mod?

Good question. I think that people have found the S2K is setup a little rich in its stock form for a safety margin. By using an adjustable regulator you can lean it out a little and tweak out a few more Hp.

You also get some better gas milage and a better fuel delivery.

If you end up tuning you car on a dyno it will allow you to get the Fuel/Air mix correct.

Not to be a dick, but i would imagine Honda capable of getting the right "mix". I can't help but feel there will be quite some discontent surfacing real soon!

How are these FPR's plumbed in? The only ones I'm familiar with are used to richen mixture not lean it out.

When I got to the dyno, my car had 196HP and after playing with the FPR I got 200HP. YES, the car come rich from factory. I have now the apex V-AFC and have -4% fuel all across the RPM and the car feels great.
