Fuel Regs

[ICER33]

just wanted to hear some fuel reg opinons cause there are so many on the market its not funny. you see ones on ebay like obx for $90, and then ones like the sard version for $200, then the likes of SX etc. also i have heard that malpassi regs begin to fail to adequately hold pressure due to the middle section be made out of rubber and it suffers from detortion over time, whether this is correct or not i dont know.

thanks

Sard and SX are the safe options.Dont waste money on budget regs.

STRONGLY suggest you look at the Turbosmart offerings newly released.

the nismo ones won't kick you in the balls either...

Forgot where I read it but someone once said re regs that if they are anodised in pretty colours then its best to stay away. Sard is not anodised.

The main problem was consistency in holding the desired pressure mentioning that factory regs are hard to beat.

The Mines R34GTR uses the Nismo style that bolts directly onto the fuel rail. They are ~$150 from Nengun.

cheers

PS; so do I

No pretty pink anodising either.

How do you adjust base pressure on that reg, SK?

Just like most other 550-650PS GTR's in Japan.

2rismo - To adjust the fuel pressure, you just tee a gauge into the fuel line between the pump and the rail, then turn the bolt clockwise to increase pressure or anticlockwise to decrease pressure. When you have the desired setting, lock with the nut.

I had a good look at the new turbosmart reg before I let Adrian have it and it's a great looking piece of machinery. You need a gauge to set the pressure first up but from then on you can turn it by hand in 0.25 psi increments.

I use the Nismo regulator as well. It's pretty good and fits in the stock position, no need for extra fittings.

Nismo for me

[Bobjones]

Malpassi and Aeromotive for me!!!

[benl1981]

Do the Nismo FPR come set at the base 36psi? Or do you undo the adjustment screw?

I.e. could you install it and not affect the current AF ratios?

And then I guess the tuner would adjust it if he thinks he needs to get more out of the injectors?

how bout the tomei ones?

id assume like all tomei products theyre top notch.
