SX FPR and Pulsation Damper
Hi,
I've already done a search on the pulsation damper, and know about the fire risk it poses.
My question is: if i install a SX FPR, given that it claims it acts as a pulsation damper also(as claimed in its brochure), can I remove the pulsation damper?
Likewise, if I choose to install a custom fuel system, does that mean I can ditch the pulsation damper?
Definitive answers are appreciated. Thanks to all again.

The PD basically controlls the fuel pressure.
So, yes, with a SX FPR and a custom fuel rail, you don't need the PD...![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I don't have mine anymore.

"Light weight diaphragm allows the regulator to act as an accumulator. Not only does this feature help prevent system chatter and noise, but also acts as a pulsation dampener, to help maintain consistent fuel pressure."

Hmm, looks like I found what I was looking for. Hope this is useful to those who haven't seen it.

We have both an FPR and a PD. The debate over the removal of the PD never ends. It is my belief that if the PD is removed and a good aftermarket FPR is installed (SX, Paxton, etc.) there are no ill effects. I have seen more than a couple cars run such a setup for a long period of time with no ill effects. If your worried about a PD then by all means replace it with a new one.
