Anyone got any tip/advise/write-up on installing the Defi fuel pressure sensor? I searched on NorCalEvo and EvoM and seems like there's only request but no replied...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

hey r6bruin,
this is what i did.
i bought the ultimate-racing fuel gauge adapter for the evo from adam at www.z1auto.com. this has the 1/8 NPT fuel port for the sensor.

it takes about 20-30 min to install on a cold engine evo.
or you can get the PERRIN fuel rail that has the 1/8 NPT fuel port for the sensor.

DO NOT DO WHAT THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL SAYS AND CUT THE FUEL LINE AND PUT A T ADAPTER!!!!!!!
hope this helps.

I did the same with the Perrin rail. You'll have to get the Defi 1/8NPT to 1/8PT adapter from Horsepowerfreaks.com. Otherwise the threads will gaull. ( Damn internation thread tapers )

Thanks for the advise, jbigelow, lqdchkn. Big thumbs up to you guys :thumbsup:
Btw, jbigelow, you got some hot gauges setup on your car, did you do all these installation by yourself? :)

naw, gino and merc @ gbmotorsports/mpj performance did all of the installation except for the fuel pressure gauge adapter since i didn't have that part yet.
thanx for the compliment and let us know what you went with to install yours.

Sure thing! I checked out different alternatives and seems like the Ultimate-Racing fuel gauge adapter is the easiest plug-n-play solution. Unless I got some interesting feedback I'll probably place an order within this week.
Btw the guys in GBMotorsports are cool, I got the boost gauge and exhaust install there too :)
