Radium V2 FPD-R Fuel Pulse Damper, 8AN ORB

The Radium Engineering 20-0776 V2 FPD-R is a compact fuel pulse damper for high-performance and boosted fuel systems. Designed to absorb oscillating pressure pulses created by fuel injector opening and closing, the FPD-R stabilises fuel rail pressure across the entire RPM range — correcting idle surge, erratic lean AFR spikes, and "stumbling" that are difficult to tune out, especially with high-flow injectors.

V2 Update: Even after tightening, the 8AN ORB damper (20-0776) swivels freely, allowing the vacuum reference port to be clocked 360° for easy routing in any installation.

What Makes Radium FPDs Unique?

Unlike basic fuel pulse dampers, Radium FPDs feature a vacuum/boost reference port that allows the damper to maintain correct performance even at elevated fuel pressures. This is essential for boosted applications running a 1:1 rising rate fuel pressure regulator, where fuel pressure rises with boost and a non-referenced damper would become ineffective.

FPD-R vs FPD-XR — Which Do I Choose?

Both dampers share the same function but have different base static fuel pressure operating ranges:

• FPD-R (green top, 20-0776) — base static pressure: 40-70psi. Slightly shorter body — ideal for space-constrained applications.
• FPD-XR (black top, 20-0777) — base static pressure: 40-105psi. Extended range for higher base pressure applications.

Base pressure = fuel pressure measured with the pump running and no vacuum line connected to the regulator.

Important: The ranges above are base static pressures only. Dynamic pressure created by a rising-rate FPR outside this range is acceptable, provided the base static pressure is set within the specified range and the vacuum/boost reference line is connected.

Worked Examples

Example 1 — Mitsubishi EVO: OEM base static pressure 43.5psi, 30psi boost, rising rate FPR.

• FPD-R: ✔ Yes — base pressure within 40-70psi range. Vacuum/boost reference line must be connected.
• FPD-XR: ✔ Yes — max fuel pressure (73.5psi) does not exceed 105psi. Reference line not required but recommended.

Example 2 — BMW E46 M3: OEM base static pressure 72.5psi, 20psi boost, rising rate FPR.

• FPD-R: ✘ No — base static pressure exceeds the 40-70psi range.
• FPD-XR: ✔ Yes — max fuel pressure (92.5psi) does not exceed 105psi. Reference line not required but recommended.

Key Features

• Compact range: 40-70psi base static pressure — ideal for most OEM-based fuel systems
