Fuel pressure regulators are normally located in the fuel manifold. They are either vacuum controlled or electronic controlled to maintain the right fuel pressure for engine requirements and to shut off the fuel pump when the ignition is turned off
If your manually adjusted unit will not do all that then you are asking for fault codes to appear and all sorts of problems to occur

SOURCE: fuel pressure regulator

Two places to look...if you have separate injectors for each cylinder then regulator should be at the front end of the fuel rail. If you have throttle body injection it is on the throttle body itself.

SOURCE: how to change a 2005 nissan sentra fuel pressure regulator

If you want to replace the fuel pump regulator you are better off getting the whole fuel pump module I know its expensive.The problem is you went on line and there is a bunch of chatter about the fuel pump causing delayed starts. They are right. There is a TSB Nissan put out this includes the fuel pump and there is no mention of the regulator that I know of.

What are the reasons for a fuel block in a Kia Sorrento 2009/10 model

fuel blockage can be a blockage in the line or a faulty pressure regulator not making a blockage to get fuel pressure or a problem EVAC system not venting the tank and causing a vacuum in the system which equals a blockage
run the fault codes first and see where the problem codes are

Why does oil light come on after i changed my oil in my kia Sorrento?

There is a chance that your oil pressure sensor has gone bad or is unplugged. My suggestion would be to install a mechanical gauge to verify oil pressure.

Fuel system on an 05 mustang is a return less system I'm going to turn it to a return and i have some parts fuel regulator,fittings, dual pumps , fuel line. So I'm i going to need a an electronic pump...

why?
ok the returnless system is totally differernt.
the regulator is in the pump and tank,
not knowing the reason, we can not help you,
running 2 pumps, huh? a lift pump and a pusher pump, what?
1: turbo added
2: for fun?
3: dont like loopless.

the stock system has a loop , its just dont leave the tank.
some cars have a mini tank near the fuel rail.
but most use the tank loop.
the pump is regulated then the return goes back to the main gas tank
immediately,.
the OEM Ford and others, puts a fuel pressure sender there.
because there is no vacuum regulator at the rail
the PCM then reads the pressure and adjusts pulse width to the injectors based on load .
The old system used vacuum to control the pressure directly
the new system Does not do that. at all.
there is no vacuum line going to the fuel tank
and at full throttle there is no vacuum at the injector tips
and as such will squirt too much fuel so the regulator drops the pressures about 6 psi. (from idle pressure)
see?
here is what needs to happen.
you just need a pump that works. and is rated for WOT fuel flow.
and the correct pressure set to factory spec, ford, pressure.
how.:
then use any manual regulator to set the pressure spec, pressure.
it never changes, then the stock fuel pressure sensor will report that
and the PCM does all the heavy lifting (calculations by magic)
that is how it works.

not knowing what you are doing so we can get on the same page makes all this impossible.
you are re-engineering the fuel system. so.... need to know that.

Im here,???
i want to go there. where and why.?
go to amazon dot com, type in greg banish books.
bingo read his books, (i have it on NOOK) for cheap.
it covers how loopless works and how it is tuned, to the finest details.

most folks down know why MPI systems drop 6PSI at wot.
it is because the reg is 1:1 reg for each pound of air pressure drop
so does the fuel pressure.
this magic on the old cars, keeps the differential pressure
ACROSS the injector the same at any throttle angle.
you car don't do that. at all. now.

and if you made it do that , id bet the PCM would go quite nuts.
it wants a static pressure. now.

Fuel pump replacement on a 2003 kia sorrento

Remove negative battery terminal, release tank pressure by opening gas cap, remove the rear seat, you will see a cover, remove the cover, you will now see the top of the gas tank and also the pump, the pump is located inside the tank and can be removed from the top, next remove the connector from pump, remove the lines, note : cover lines with a rag as you remove there may be a little pressure, this will help gas from spray all over, with connector removed and lines removed you will now remove the six bolts holding the pump in, lift and remove the pump, take note of the position, make a ref mark so you can reinstall pump in top of tank facing the right way. this is called a fuel pump module, here is a picture of the pump unit.10_6_2012_2_55_35_pm.jpg
