Fuel pressure regulator raceworks/generic

[Tinker]

Hi all, Does anyone have any good things to say about raceworks or generic fuel pressure reg? E85 compat . These 2 look identical except for the raceworks decal. and allmost double the price. So what do you guys think?

That looks like it literally is the same picture, one with the logo removed. If you zoom right in and look at the reflections, they are exactly the same on both pics. I would be suspect of the unbranded one. I have used genuine raceworks parts in my fuel system on my track car without any trouble, but I am not sure what you are getting there.

Yeah that's what i thought. same picture bar the logo. just hate to pay double for the same part. But You know the old saying the poor man pays twice....

I found ebay sellers often use generic pics for items that are actually different when you get them, more often the case for large businesses/sellers.

That pic is literally shopped to remove the logo, you can see the uneven pixels and wrong shades where the logo was. As Ant said, it's the same pic otherwise.

yeah its hard to know these days, i once found a picture of a trimatic part on ebay and it was my picture you will find on this forum

one thing i can say from experience though, usually "knock off" brand stuff in a fuel system ends in tears! i've bought 044 bosch pumps i thought were legit, they lasted less than 12 months! i generally try to only buy from known good shops for these sorts of things cause if they die at 20psi boost it usually ends in tears!

regs are a bit more forgiving, and worst case you might find the diaphragm splits and leaks, and in which case you can then buy the raceworks brand replacement hahah
