Radium Engineering Fuel Rail Top Port Fuel Pulse Damper Extra Range 8AN ORB Swivel FPD-XR 20-0777

Radium Engineering Fuel Rail Top Port Fuel Pulse Damper Extra Range 8AN ORB Swivelable FPD-R 20-0777

The opening and closing of fuel injectors creates pressure pulses in the fuel rail; this can lead to unstable fuel pressure. In order to achieve a safe and consistent rail pressure, a fuel pulse damper (FPD) is often necessary. The FPD's internal diaphragm will absorb oscillating pulses and stabilize fuel pressure. This correction can be measured throughout the RPM range and can often help idle surge, especially with high flow injectors. Furthermore, a fuel pulse damper can help solve erratic lean air/fuel ratio spikes, commonly experienced as "stumbling", that are difficult to tune out. 

Fuel pulse dampers can be mounted at any angle, including upside down. There are many variables that dictate if a fuel system requires fuel pulse dampers. For instance, there are cases where multiple dampers are necessary. There are also other times when the fuel system benefits with a fuel pulse damper on the return line.

Not to be used on the low pressure side of mechanical fuel pumps (including direct injection engines).

What makes Radium FPDs unique?

Along with having the flexibilty of using common fittings, Radium Engineering FPD's use a vacuum/boost reference port which allows for proper fuel pulse damper performance even at elevated fuel pressures. This becomes essential for boosted systems that use a 1:1 rising rate fuel pressure regulator.

What is the difference between FPD-R and FPD-XR? 

The FPD-R (green top) is slightly shorter than the FPD-XR (black top) allowing it to be used in space-contrained applications.

FPD-XR base pressure requirement = 40 - 105psi (static)
