hi guys jus a quick question, i have bought a HKS twin entry fuel rail for RB26, and want to put it on my car im jus a lil grey on the way to set it up i also want to put a fuel reg on but am not too sure what to get, was thinking malpasi high rate rising rate reg, will this work? ok so jus a little help would be greatly appreciated.

my main concern is this i was thinking of running the outlet of the reg into the fuel filter and then running a line with a T-piece it into either end of the rail. will this be correct? will it be ok to run the reg before the filter?? this wont effect the pressure or the regulator will it.

thanks guys any help would be great

Fuel comes from tank (pump) to fuel filter then a y-piece into either end of the rail. Outlet of rail is in the middle which plumbs to regulator then to the tank return line.

I'm sure if you have a look at the gallery pics you will soon see.

Which rail did you get. 10.5mm for standard injectors or the 11.0mm for upgraded injectors? Why don't you purchase the matching HKS regulator as well?

Cheers

well for one the reg goes after the rail......... u can go fuel filter split the line and come in from both ends of the rail and then exit the rail out the middle and go into the inlet of the reg then out of the reg back to tank or surge if applicable...... and as to wat reg u should u should get wat type of system ur gonna be running would be nice to know...

ok awsome thanks for the quick replyies guys and clearing that up, first jus with that HKS reg i thought that was bolt on standard rail only??

ok well i think i have this sorted now, an yeah sorry to leave out details its jus i was so caught up in trying to work it out. :( ok so tell me what you thnk of this. and jus to fill in the blanks i have a 040 in tank pump and twin 044 ext that mount to a custom fab surge tank. im jus running some chinese single trying to go budget build. an i know fuel is the most important factor so want this to actually be ok.

ok so here goes

040 pumps fuel from tank into surge tank.

2X 044s pump fuel SEPERATLY to individual filters and run one in left side of rail and one in right side.

run one line from middle of rail to inlet on regulator.

then outlet reg to surge tank.

and breather from surge tank back into fuel tank.

please tell me this is correct :wave:

and now wat reg to use??

Yep. Looks about right. You sure shouldn't have any fueling issues.

HKS regulator is adjustable and can be used in your application. They look the same as the NISMO regulators and have -6AN male fittings (which cuts down on having to buy them separatly). Some other regulators don't have very large orifice so steer clear of those types.

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
