i had this sard reg on my old fuel setup with just one 044 but now i got two 044 fuel pumps feeding the rail, the motor has just been built so when i goes in for the run tune i dont want it to be over fueling the motor or something else that i could of fix before the tune... so does anyone else have one of these regs with a big fuel system to know if its to small... cheers..

put a fuel pressure gauge in there and see with the reg adjusted to the lowest setting and see what fuel pressure you get, this will be the minimum, aslong as this is less than ~30psi it'll be fine. obviously dont run the motor if your not ready for that, just let the pump prime a few times

Definately too small - will overload reg at low loads. Use a pressure switch to turn the secondary 044 on at high boost and you won't have any issues with pumps overheating or fuel pressure problems.

If you switch one pump on and off, be sure to install a non-return valve on the suction side of that pump...

Two 044's are alot of fuel... especially if you try and squeeze it through a small return oriface (sard reg)

To help stabilize fuel temps and return pressure, I will be running a FPR with a -10 return outlet and -10 retun line on my next set up (1400hp aeromotive pump).

This is the reg:

I also need the muliple outlets for nitrous, 2 fuel pressure transducers and an accumulator.

Hope that helps

I ran one of these regs with 2 x 044's for years...never a problem with lack of return flow...we even measured flow rates and pressures at idle...rock solid.

    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
