Malpassi installation

[tang0]

Ok,

as part of the next upgrade, will be installing a malpassi fuel reg ...

question - anyone know if you can get a replacement thingy that goes where the stock fuel reg is, then presents a nipple to plug a nice fuel hose on, and into the malpassi ??

Anyone here installed one before ? got any tips on installing?

cheers

oh, and installing new injectors looks like a REAL pain in the arrrrse .. anyone know a quick way to install em ?

cheers

I'm pretty sure the malpassi is the replacement for the old regulator near the strut tower.

On the malpassi their should be a in and out and a hole for a fuel pressure guage, you have to block that up if you dont have one.

ahh ok, i did wonder why there seemed to be 2 regulators ...

I have the blocking thingy, so i guess just T off the regulator on the fuel rail for manifold pressure ???

if i remember right, there was only an in and out pipe on the reg on the strut tower ...

cheers

Try Speed Technology in Mitcham (03 98735400) for the replacement fitting.

The Malpassi has 2 IN and one OUT. It replaces the unit sitting on the manifold. One of the INs can be used to accept a pressure gauge, otherwise simply plug it off. You would normally mount it on the RH strut tower, I guess. I don't really know the R33 that well, but I think Cameron is referring to the boost controller.

To get the fuel rail out, you need to remove the throttle body, amongst other things. As with anything on a Nissan, you basically have to remove anything that appears to be getting in the way.

EXCELLENT !!

Just called them, the guy i spoke to, Steve, was really helpful, knew exactly what i needed !

they had 2 types available: a SARD anodised one ($38.50) or they own version for $27.50.

Also ordered the brass fittments etc that i need to make it all just work !

all up cost was $43.45 inv gst and shipping from melb to syd - a bargain i say !

Only bad thing is they don't take eftpos / credit cards over the phone due to them being stung by fraud, but a simple bank xfer is the go, they also offered COD.

so thanks for the info blind_elk !
