Hi all,

I am thinking changing my stock fuel regulator as it is "stuff". Been finding a 2nd hand stock one for sometime and no luck. Sick and tire of that, decided to buy a new one. Done some search and I am freaked out about the diffenent types. Rising rate 1:1, 1:7.......blah .......blah. The Nismo one seems all right but there is no specs on them. Not sure its a rising rate type but it seems to be easy in installation and quite cheap.

Anyway, before I buy any of that, I would like to know more about the difference between the stock and after market fuel regulator. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers!

Hey there,

A rising rate fuel reg ads more fuel pressure per pound of boost, i.e 1:1 adds 1psi of fuel pressure in the rail per psi of boost.

Say you have 45psi fuel rail pressure as a base setting, at 15psi boost the rising rate reg adds another 15psi of pressure to the fuel rail so you have 60psi in the rail.......this allows more fuel to be injected per injector pulse and therefore run less risk of leaning out.

As a side note i hear they can be a bastard to tune with as the motor keeps getting more and more fuel and can run rich,

i'm not sure on that as i'm not a tuner.

Regards Andrew :(

Why would you search for a second hand (standard) fuel reg, but be prepared to buy a new afterrmarket one?

That doesnt make a lot of sense.

Ring Nissan, and use the stock reg. There is nothing wrong with it. I ran over 350rwkw on the stock one

The stock reg is 1:1 so is nismo, sard, and SX. The stock reg has a steel diaphram unlike any aftermarket reg that I know of so it should be the most stable. And yes tuning for 1.7:1 or 6:1 or 12:1 rising rate regs is shit. If you like the fancy shit and want a to put a nismo or sard sticker on your car then I would recommend these two otherwise use the stock item.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
