ok i recently installed a Fuel Reg and pump on my mates supra...

its fine if we leave the fuel pressura at 34 psi but when i turn up the pressure to 40 even 50 the pressure just dies in the ass until it goes to 0....

im thinking its because his car has a ramping fuel pump signal from the ecu. and when i turn up the pressure the load on the pump is to great for the amount of voltage the ecu is giving it and it stalls...

my question is can you turn up the amount of voltage that the power fc is giving the fuel pump....

if no can i just run a hard feed to it from the ignition and hav it running all the time the engine is on at full speed?

any help would be awesome cheers

You have to be very careful running a constant power feed to the fuel pump. The system is designed to be switched on by the ECU for safety reasons.

If the car is in an accident, the fuel pump will continue to pump fuel if you don't have it switching off the pump via the ECU or oil pressure switch etc.

~35psi is normal operating pressure, so with a different rising rate reg, you will be injecting more fuel when you need it anyway.

Are you setting the pressure with the VAC line disconnected from the reg?

yer mate i know how to set the pressure correctly... his car is leaning out under high revs and we cant reduce the boost because with the highflow cats it runs at 18 psi minimum... so we were just gonna raise the injector pressure to get that little bit more flow so the engine dosent ping off its face....

is a relay an option to ilimanate the gradual voltage increce?

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
