Just making sure this is a direct replacment for an NA's rear regulator and will result in 100-115 psi of oil pressure, ths being a cheaper alternative to the MFR oil pressure regulator. Thanks

has anyone tried to use the -REW front oil pressure regulator in an older engine? will it fit?



i'm curious simply because i was thinking it may be an alternative to shimming the front regulator when running 100+ PSI.

not that ive actually looked, but it might just be that the fd front regulator is "shimmed" from the factory. seems like the fd motor follows racecar practice to an extent

okay ... another question:

does anyone have an actual price for these things? part number?



i'm asking because my research on the forums (this one and others) yields that it should cost around $20 and the local dealer here quoted me $39 for it.



this is the part number they gave to me: N3AI-14230

N3A1-13-230 is the right part number, $39 is retail.

It was about a year and a half ago, but I only paid $28 for mine.
