I didnt use any adjustable fuel regulator, all the experience I heard from my mechanic who return alot of Work FPR to the supplier. He said even imitation Tomei are better made than Work

just buy one set sard fpr cost RM380.00 including meter..for my SE Limited ..according to that seller NO original SARD meter produce..maybe from Taiwan/China Made..(not sure true or not la)
Bro, Sard got produce adjustable FPR lah, check out Sard website. I think Sard got post out warning notice about imitation Sard fuel regulators as well.

Sard AFPR:SARD>PRODUCTS>FUEL REGULATOR
Sard's notice for fake Sard AFPR: SARD

I remember last time Acai said ori Sard is only in Blue/Silver color, the other colors all fake. Well, Sard official website does tell us that Sard AFPR are available in various other colors as well ;)

all original or fake FPR doesnt comes with warranty except Works Engineering.

all gauges for sure no warranty, and this is not recommended to install onto FPR permanently. suggested to remove it once the setting is done. please install electronic fuel press in order to monitor

the gauge for sure will leak when get in touch with heat in long term

I think Warranty or not doesnt matter. Its the quality

You see proton, they give you warranty so what, you want a car that can be driven everyday or a car that is in the workshop everyday? Sure they change for you things for free but TIME is MONEY.

I agree, I got a works one, after a week got problem with regulator, it did not regulate it just fluctuate up and down, went back to shop and the diaphram was changed, but the gauge soo far soo good.

Forgot to mention the Regulator was not fixed properly, teflon tape was blocking the air inlet.

That was the reason it failed. Sometime its not product quality is bad but the workmanship is bad:banghead:

bro , Jst installed a works eng regulator, but the pressure drops when its driven hard for a while.
And also when idle set it at 4bar, but when throttle it goes to 3.5 bar. is't normal, thought it should goes up instead of down. wanna know whether the reg or the pump is faulty?
