I have this rb20det silver top head and noticed that on the fuel rail there are 2 fuel pressure regulator. Are they both fuel pressure regulators, or is one something else?

It is not letting me post any pictures, but here they are on my facebook page...lol

I can't see the pics. don't use facebook. but I assume you are talking about the fuel dampener and the fuel reg. fuel reg is on the end of the rail and the dampener is usually on a piece of hose? you'll see only one actually has a vacuum source from memory. that one is the fuel reg.

They both have vac lines. One was ran to the throttle body and the other is ran to the manifold. The one that is ran to the manifold is on the from of the motor. Is it needed or can it be trashed?

Also wondering this, the original RB20DET fuel rail I had I'm pretty sure only had one reg. The one I have now has 2 and they both seem to require a vacuum source, from the same point??

Thanx Jonno.:thumbsup:

I dont know what car the rb20 head came out of.

Is it something that will/can impeed the flow of fuel to the rail? Should I remove it? I have a fuel pressure regulator that is going on inplace of the other one.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
