On the RV-8 I used a Nissan regulator from a Z-300. It has a port for the manifold pressure and hose barbs for all the fuel connections. Works great. I've never tried a regulator without the manifold port to vary the fuel pressure so don't know if there is enough range in the EC2/3 to compensate for the lack of it or not.

What have y'all been using for a regulator? The online speed shops seem to have very limited info on their regulators (MAP sensing, in/out connectors, even regulation pressure).

OEM regulators are cheap ($23-$50) but all I've seen would require a machined adapter block. The in-line types that I've found that are well documented & should work, are fairly expensive ($120+). My intent is to insert the regulator immediately after the high pressure pumps, on the cockpit side of the firewall, common practice on new cars & I think that's what Tracy did on the RV-8. Some of the inline regulators don't seem to have MAP sensing; is anyone using a regulator w/o MAP sensing?

Thanks,
