Default FPR on a rover inlet on ZT engine

Right i have been looking for a way to retain the origional fuel rail for the rover inlet and fit a fuel pressure regulator to it as the rover item does not look adjustable.

i have found an FSE power boost valve, i know they are all hype in most cases but if it means i can have the pressure adjusted to what i require then so be it, to fir the later type plastic fuel rail as i have for the rover inlet so that is a start, but was just wandering had anyone else used on of these as if there are other options then may save me a few £

And no i cant fit the fiesta regulator as it doesnt fit to the bolt holes in the rail and if i drill and tap it it will split the rail.

is he using the plastic rail?

only way i could poss see it going on is by having a spacer plate machined so that it would in effect twist the regularot rod slightly so that you sould bolt the plate to the rail and then a regulator to the plate. But that plate for the complexity of it would work out more than an FSE power boost valve prob

literally just drill and tap the fiesta fpr on how the rover one comes off, i think the holes are closer together on the fiester on from what i remember but if you get the right size screws you shouldn't have a problem

Push it into place on the rail;



And then, drill, tap, stud, fit the regulator and add some nuts
