Aftermarket fuel pressure regs , which work best .

Hi all , I'm using a Turbosmart FPR 800 which I went to when the Plazma rail and ID850s went in .

I'm suspicious that these "entry level" 800s may do some unusual things compared to an OE RB25 reg anyway .

First up they obviously don't hold pressure very long after shut down and the fuel pump sounds excited when priming up to start . Also I seem to get a lightning quick lean spike when opening the throttle at light loads and lowish revs . I use a Tech Edge WB3A2 with a Bosch LSU 4.9 02 probe . It seems impossible to tune out the lean spike and mostly it can't be felt when driving . I've never been inside one of these regs to see what they use for a regulating valve so don't know how well it works compared to an OE FPR .

I've been searching to see what others have found and note some seeing marked pressure fluctuations when the injectors open initially . I did have a play with injector dead time voltages and it did improve the spike partially but its not the real fix .

One FPR tester found that there can be a wide range in FPR performance and while they didn't want to mention brands they did say that the Turbosmart FPR2000 worked quite well . Also btw I'm using a new Nizmo 33GTR fuel pump .

If you want a know good adjustable FPR what's the deluxe option .

Thanks in advance cheers A .

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
