Fpr For R33 Gts-t ?

[palmer]

Hello all,

Ive been fiddling around with my Series 1 R33 GTS-T and was hoping to hook up my aftermarket fuel pressure regulator that is just sitting in my engine bay doing nothing (was there when i bought the car)

I just have a couple of questions

1) What type does it look like? (brand? etc doesn't seem to say anything on it... so if anyone has seen one of these let me know)

2) How do i hook it up?

Below are some pics of the FPR and another pic so maybe someone can show me where to attach it... lol

I know i need to bypass the stock FPR otherwise theres no point hooking up the FPR lol

Pics:

Any help would be great guys,

Thanks,

Palmer

unbolt the aftermarket one, and put it on ebay so its someone elses problem.

What do you think you are going to achieve with running this?

Are you running more than 350rwkw?

[palmer]

no need to be a d*ckhead..

just because your running around that figure doesnt mean you have the right to be a f*ck face about it.

im having fuel cutting issues at high boost and was hoping to try this out... (and yes ive thought about coil packs, spark plugs etc)

so f*ck off unless you really want to give me some help as im new to the whole skyline scene

BTW im not running a stock car... so STFU

well, if you're not running a stock car you should have listed your mods so anyone here can help you. Have you wondered why your thread is pretty much dead so far? Maybe you should read the beginner threads first and actually see how a skyline works before just "hooking up" something thats sitting there, even though you have no idea what it does...

Oh, and I Wasn't being a dickhead, I was telling you what everyone else will tell you.

That "number" was 100% my doing also by the way. EVery little bolt on, even the tune, I did all myself and encountered, and fixed all problems along the way. If you want to be a wanker and bag that out most of the experienced people will shy away from your thread.

And you never answered my question. Are you running more than 350rwkw? Because if you aren't, an aftermarket FPR is going to be a waste of time, and introduce a lot more problems......

I know a lot of reasons for a fuel cut, but you're ignorant and haven't posted your mods list so that people can diagnose it.

and with your kind of attitude, "new to the skyline scene" you might want to delete your SAU account, and sign up over at www.nissansilvia.com. Its full of people just like you.

its a malpassi

its a malpassi

yuck.

The last 2 cars I tuned, we had to take them off and bin them.

The AFR's would be from one extreme to another. You go WOT, the AFR's would go to 11:1, not touch the tune, then WOT again on the next run, 13:1. Put the standard one on, and AFR's would hold perfect.

They are junk.

the stock nissan reg's are a great piece of gear man, put the stock one back on.

my tuner had the choice to stick on a adj one, and he kept the stock one FOR GOOD REASON.

when u start playing around with fuel pressures, u have to play around with alot of other stuff to compensate.

u also stated u had fuel issues. have u tried the source-the pump. if the stock one still operates effectively i fail to see how it can be the cause of u not GETTING fuel.

[palmer]

thankyou R33cruiser and r33-d-rift

yeah its just a problem i've been having with the car kinda stuggling and kinda miss firing at high end when on boost... every other time its fine..

The Mafia i dont see why you have to start talkin about the fact you made those gains by yourself? it has nothing to do with anything.

But i do admire the fact that you were able to make those figures by yourself... i wish i could

oh and im not an idiot... i do know what a Fuel Pressure Regulator does

im probably running 230rwkw

I came to this site to learn as much as i can... ask some questions when i need help... as thats wat the site is for..

but then the first post i get doesnt help anything... doesnt make ya feel very welcome... makes me think that i cant get help when i need it... im sure when you first started out you didnt know much either... so cut me some slack and maybe try to start to help me out...

also the reason i asked about the FPR being hooked up is because i got told by another skyline owner to come on here and ask about it because ppl are "nice" on here and respect each other.. and that i could get help...

you're so damn ignorant its just not funny anymore.

List your damn mods if you want some real help.

Also, I WAS NOT BEING A SMARTASS.

1. The STOCK regulator is capable up to 350rwkw. ARE YOU RUNNING THIS MUCH POWER?

2. My comment about selling it on ebay was also not a smart assed remark. ITs a malpassi. They are rubbish. If you want your car to run like rubbish, then hook it up.

I said all of that stuff about my gains, because you said that "just because I had that power number doesn't mean I can blah blah blah". Acting like a fool.

I tune cars. I see these problems everyday. I deal with ignorant people like you everyday.

List your mods, give us your power target, stop being a "the world owes me something" kind of a tool, and we'll help you.

You're asking a stupidly open ended question.

You haven't listed your mods, so what, how the hell are we supposed to diagnose the problem?

Do you have an aftermarket ECU?

Do you have an aftermarket turbo?

How much boost?

What fuel are you running?

What fuel pump?

What spark plugs?

What plug gaps?

And the list goes on.

We're all nice people here, but a lot of us have no patience anymore because day after day, some idiot signs up, asks a stupid vague question, and demands answers.

jono is right mate... they are only needed if you are wishing to "trick" your standard injectors...

what injectors are you running? why do you say you "think" 230rwkw? what turbo?

[palmer]

Im sorry for being ignorant and wasting your time... but you could of expressed yourself a little better

see the problem is im not too sure on all of the things my car is running...

i bought the car how it is now... and only had it for a month... i haven't had time to get it all checked out to see exactly what im running

it has an

EMS Stinger

I believe an upgraded turbo from GCG Turbos or made high flow from GCG's

Supposeably bigger injectors (but once again im not sure)

turbo back 3" exhaust

pod filter in box

Front Mount

running Vortex Premium 98

going for a major service soon and will be using those $25 a plug sparkies (platinum ones?)

at the moment its only running 7PSI... but with the 225rwkw it was at 13PSI i believe...

and thats it so far i think

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

best to get it tuned... where you live?

[sl33py]

you could of (sic: you mean "have") expressed yourself a little better

LOL. Permit me to express myself as eloquently as I think is possible: palmer, you're a knob with bells on. Please continue to futz around with your car while you don't know what you're dealing with. That way you'll kill it, and won't be on this forum to annoy the experienced and/or sensible people.

^ just going to ignore that

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo i live in sydney... its good to know that someone is trying to help me...

no need for these people to continue being rude... i said i was a dick... so get over it

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

pfft, sl33py/homer/ben cant even spell smArt

what is being said is that an aftermarket FPR f**ks around with too many things to be of any use to you.

go to the NSW section and ask around for a reputable tuner in your area(ish) and get it on the dyno.

the tuner will be able to tell you if your running stock injectors/fuel pump etc.

230rwkw is dancing around the limits of stock injectors and to use an fpr to push your car further is dangerous to your engine.

have you considered coil pack/plugs as your missing prob?

search around SAU and you'll find a BAZILLION threads about this.

buy some NGK BCPR6ES plugs (iridiums aren't worth the bother) and gap them to 0.8 and see if this helps... (plugs and gapping tool can be bought from autobarn for cheap)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

also losing the chromies and getting some real jap rims will help

[palmer]

haha yeah i was thinkin bout gettin better rims haha... ah well

thanks for the plugs to get aswell... im gettin a service soon so ill get him to get those particular ones..

ill hopefully be gettin my car tuned and checked out soon so then ill find out what im running... ill let you know once i find out

the guy said they were upgraded injectors but cant be too sure untill i actually get them checked out aye lol

yeah i was thinkin coil pack or sparkies could be the issue... so the service will help with the spark plugs... if it isnt that ill change the coil pack...

heard good things about the Spit Fire coil packs... how are they?

thanks again for your help mate

[WYTSKY]

hey bud, Im not going to give you lectures about being a twit or anything.... but i will say that these guys do know what they are talking about and if you do what they say they will be alot more willing to help you out.. anyway back on the the issue......

I have 230kw atw because I have dynoed my car.. I have a tr43 attached to my engine... i was popping and missfiring all around the higher revs (but I was only at roughly 200 back then) got some new injectors and afm chucked in.. has worked a treat, cars now at 230 and we are only at 14 psi... going to put the boost up soon and look at around 250-260+

what i could see at 200kw is the symptoms you are describing... but I had an apexi power fc and commander which incase you dont know is an aftermarket computer that replaces and controls all of your car's engine electronics with the ability to monitor and adjust lots of crucial information about your engine. it said that after 5000rpm the engine was becoming unstable with low level detonation-(kills skyline engines really well) and my afm and injectors were both reading at 100% so the engine couldn't continue through the rev range.

the other two things that pop into mind is:

1. you didn't mention if you have an aftermarket fuel pump... if you do believe it to be a fuel prob and not injector issue then that would be the first thing i would check... that would be a way to help make sure the injectors always have some juice to suck.

2. you say you are going to do a major service using $25 plugs? I am telling you this now to go and spend that money on your missus or someone you care about.. cuz they dont do squat.. I had some ngks.. decided to lash out on platnums... opened them up... saw how small the conductor was.. decided to still give them a try... missfired all over the place... its written all over these forums.. dont put them in.. your probs will just get worse.

Finally.. throw out that fpr !

1. The STOCK regulator is capable up to 350rwkw. ARE YOU RUNNING THIS MUCH POWER?

Technically it should be capable of any level of power if it can physically flow enough at the stock pressure.

I don't understand why so many people are against adjustable FPRs. As far as i can tell everyone reads the opinion of one or two who have had bad experiences without actually understanding how a fuel delivery system works or how an adjustable FPR affects it. (this isn't targeted at anyone in particular, just a general thing i've noticed)

For 220-230 wheel kW, bumping the pressure up slightly will be enough with the stock injectors, as long as your fuel pump can flow enough at the higher pressure. As said previously the tune will need attention since the injectors will flow more fuel throughout the rev range.

To the OP, answering The Mafia's questions is the only way you're going to get anything other than speculation.

230rwkw is dancing around the limits of stock injectors and to use an fpr to push your car further is dangerous to your engine.

Why?

To the OP, answering The Mafia's questions is the only way you're going to get anything other than speculation.

agreed,mafias questions totally valid,also pressure reg not needed at all for this boost level,the only difference between stock and aftrmarket is the base pressure,and if ur management and fuel system is set up right you dont need aftermarket.the standard is boost sensitive any way.all its gonna do is mess with ur reliability...also those wheels gotta go..
