do u have to pay import duty on it tho?

williamsvts · 8th February 2007, 23:16

dunno, is that expensive? didnt say anything about it.

stevenet15 · 8th February 2007, 23:23

i have bought stuff from america and hong kong before, if they send it as a gift you dont have to pay anything but if it is sent as purchased goods then u have to pay import duty. its done on a % of the valve of the product and the charge depends if its sent through a corrier or via the postoffice. for example me and a few other punto gt lads bought intercoolers for £100 from america some were sent via parcel force and the import duty was £14 some of the others ones were sent through the post office and the import duty was £40. hopefully it will be sent as a gift as its only a small item its the bigger items i am sure they would have to list as a product

anyone car to say wtf that thing does? lol sorry for the amatueristic question!!

williamsvts · 8th February 2007, 23:30

regulates your fuel pressure.

stevenet15 · 8th February 2007, 23:33

its a fuel pressure regulator, it regulates the amount of fuel pressure in the fuel rail

S34MER · 8th February 2007, 23:33

it never does! lol

hense the reason why its called a fuel pressure regulator! but how does it work was what i meant!? what are the benefits? why would you use one of these?

stevenet15 · 8th February 2007, 23:43

works of a vacume and has a small diaphram inside, putting i higher pressure one on will give slightly better throttle response and produces a strong fuel mixture with better attomisation, iirc standard vts fpr is 3bar

Richardson_VTS · 8th February 2007, 23:47

are these easy to fit mate?

S34MER · 8th February 2007, 23:48

cheers Steve, thats very helpful! would rep you but i must have done it recently already mate

stevenet15 · 8th February 2007, 23:55

no worries cheers mate

Gabbastard · 8th February 2007, 23:57

If anyones interested, ideal fuel atomisation occurs at 3.5bar according to pug sport.

stevenet15 · 9th February 2007, 00:01

yeah pug sport say 3.5 but i also read somewhere that gmc say 4.5

Gabbastard · 9th February 2007, 00:18

Who do you trust on the matter, the people who are Peugeots sport arm; or - no offence to them- a salesman?

I think i'd rather go with the "salesman" (GMC) as you call them!!

but then again, i suppose 30+ years of car tuning is not to be trusted one bit is it?

Im not saying theyre not to be trusted, but GMC will set out to make a living from selling parts like FPR's, not compete and win championships. Pug Sport as a rule, is the opposite.

If you really want a 4bar FPR, raid a newish VW/Audi at a scrappy. No point going new, an FPR is the kind of thing thatll never break.

williamsvts · 9th February 2007, 09:35

i have 3.5bar on atm.

Yates · 9th February 2007, 10:47

so is it better to have standard or change up to a 4 / 4.5?

williamsvts · 9th February 2007, 16:12

GMC sell a range from 2 bar to 4.5 bar though.

matt - standard is 3 bar.
