Hey guys, My mate bought an r32 the other day and was wanting to find a couple of things out. The car kind of stutters shifting and sometimes almost stalls a lights, it seems like it getting to much fuel. The car has a malpassi RR FPR on it and was wondering what the correct pressure for it would be. The cars running 14psi, front mount intercooler and a slightly upgraded exhaust. now the standard FPR on the fuel rail has the vacuum line disconnected i understand this is correct when running an aftermarket FPR so its always open??..

Thanks to all help. Dave

stock fuel pressure is:

when ignition switch is ON: approx 3.0 bar (45 psi)

During idle: approx 2.5 bar (35 psi)

Idling when press reg vacuum hose is removed: approx 3.0 bar (45psi)

and you should remove the std fpr when running and aftermarket item. but yeah running it with the vac line removed will keep it in the open position. but it will be creating a restriction.

hrrrmmm... my RB20 had 38psi of fuel pressure without the vacuum line disconnected at idle. i put a RR FPR on it and now i run 55psi with no vacuum line on it.

Its got a Mines ECU fitted. The BOV is a TurboSmart Type-3. I thought the BOV might need adjusting?? The O-Ring on the BOV screw hat seems old cause the screw hat it stiff to turn.

With the vacuum line hooked up to the stock one, wont it just run normal standard fuel pressure therefore making the use of the aftermarket one useless?

Thanks, Dave.

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
