Received it in a job lot today....has no markings.
Interested to find out who makes them and what the spec is...

Thanks

A zinc plated one!

I had something similar on my old engine, which (i believe) was from a renault fuego or espace. It did raise the static fuel pressure, but i needed a vacuum reference and rising rate for the new install so binned it.

Mine had a large grub type screw, rather than a nut and bolt.

ETA: it didnt have a flange on it either, but yours may be just a standard item like mine was, to adjust static pressure.

ETA:

OR

I could be wrong (See third item down)

Thanks for the input! The MSD one looks quite similar.
I agree it looks like it is a OEM based FPR but has the JIC fittings and adjustability. It looks as if its all made in one also (not modified). looks like it could be a good one.....maybe...? haha

Will continue to search....

Looks a good quality bit of kit. Adjustable plus a vacuum reference. Try it, couple up a fuel pressure gauge and you should be able to get an idea of the specs.

Looks like one of these....

Genuine HKS Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator with Earls fittings.

just with a different bracket.

If it does as it says it could be ok.

2-5bar regulator.
