Fuel Pulse Damper, FPD-R In-line Kits 8AN

The opening and closing of fuel injectors creates pressure pulses in the fuel rail which 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. 

Many high performance OEM engines use an in-line fuel pulse damper from the factory including the Toyota 2JZ-GTE, Nissan VQ35DE, and Subaru EJ20/EJ25. The use of an inline damper is great for applications where there is not an option for direct fuel rail mounting.
