Default fuel regulater???

I hope that I am posting this in the correct section. I have a stock d15 non-vtec. I dont have the money for the the b18 yet so i figured i could work on this for now. I was planning on putting a cold air intake and exhaust but my question is would i hurt my gas mileage if i put on an adjustable fuel regulator??? Im new to hondas and I dont want to mess up the engine and great mileage. Thanks for any help I get.

Waste of money until you need more fuel pressure or can control the injector pulses. Stock injectors would actually benefit from higher fuel pressure due to the fact that optimum atomization occurs at 55psi, but if you set yours at 55psi without control of the pulses, you would have pure gas dripping out of the muffler.

Zero performance application right now, but they sure are pretty. Consider this though, the price of a decent FPR is aboput 1/3 of a Mini-Me swap.

You would have to destroy the cat first.

I've heard that only for the d16 240cc injectors. Are you sure that's for d15s injectors as well?
