hey all, just went to put a malpassi on my 32 with an rb20 but noticed there is, or appears to be 2 fuel regs. 1 in the normal place like on 33s etc. but another on the other end of the fuel rale... is that another reg? if so how do i go about getting around it and putting the malpassi on? i am sure there are a few that have done this before. .. also does any1 know what the standard fuel pressure us? thanks 4 the help. leigh. i can post pics if needed.

i dont know about this second fuel reg that you say you have. but its easy use an adapter plate to replace existing standard fuel reg at the end of the fuel rail.

easy done then mount in your Rising rate fuel reg and mount

pfffft.... yes i do need one!!!

here are some picks that sorta show where the second one is..... u can c it if you follow the fuel rale towards the rear of the car. i circled where it is. under the plenum.

ok, i have:

- trust TDO5/O6 round 450-470 hp?? unsure

- turbosmart 45mm pro external gate

- cooler

- safc

- bosch 040

- 3 1/4 inch exhaust from turbo with no cat.

- think thats bout it

i have done all the work my self from bolting the turbo on and making the cooler pipes, etc. the car is running fairly lean atm.. and as i dont have enough $$$ for larger injectors or management. i am going for the cheaper alternative of a fuel reg and tuning it with the safc and reg, and maybe backing off the timing if need be, but doubt it.. i have already purchased the reg so i might as well put it on. if u have any other sugggestions please give... i just want the car to be safe. me and a mate will be dyno tuning it once we have the malpassi on. i have seen in the rb20 turbo upgrade results that a few people have regs so any help would be good. i wanna get this on the dyno!!!!

thanks leigh.

ive see you a number of times... do you have a REALLY loud screamer pipe? the other day you were next to me and it didnt even seem like u dropped a gear and you were sideways for f***en ages lol i was in the white VLT...

also i dont see why all you guys are asking him weather he needs a malpassi or he should get a new fuel pump for? he is asking how to put it on not should he put it on.... but just to answer your comments this 32 is f**ken nutz i run consitant 12.8's and he was pulling away from me... i think he could use it...

sorry no help but yeh some rude people on here..unless they mount to the end they look a bit messy not that makes a deal so ive ordered one from japan that bolts on the end of the rail...its a bit weird that there is a regulator of sum sort up the back..

post up how you go when done

goodluck

haha yeah that was me... i remember.... u have a big bresciani sticker on da back window... hahaha

i have no ploblem having to fabricate a new adaptor where the old fuel reg is, i can do that at work... the issue i have here is if what i showed in the pick is another fuel reg. and what i have to do to get around it (if i need to get around it)... thanks leigh

Its probably because its as Craved and i thought... he is trying to nab extra power, but there could be other sinister reasons for the fuel issue.

The reg really wont give you much more of a higher ceiling in terms of fuel flow and what you can get out of it safely. Its that simple really.

Has the fuel pump been wired up correctly?

It is getting the correct voltage?

How lean is lean?

Are all the injectors in good condition?

There are a number of things to check if your leaning out IMO rather that buying a band aid.

Just because it sounds cool, i ran a 12.1 with a stock fuel reg, maybe i could have run an 11 if i had fuel reg...... :)

hey lwboosted...to answer your questions

a) yes it is another reg but dont worry about it, just leave it. You need to replace the front one. make an adapter and mount the reg somewhere..strut tower is nice, close and easily accessable.

b) standard fuel pressure is 38psi.. a few psi will make alot of difference. i run 42psi

Hope that helps

lol... i'll stop crying when people fix thier cars the right way :rofl:

Amen to that!!! I give it a month from installation before the motor lets go depending upon the tune. IMO Malpassi's are shit and should not be put on any turbo charged car thats running high boost levels. Its just that I dont trust a flimsy bit of silicone nomex to control fuel pressure at the pressure levels your going to be using, probably around 70 - 80psi I presume. One good thing about them is there ability to not hold pressure when the fuel pump is not running (bandaid fix for leaky injectors). The reason that standard FPR and sards are so good is that they have metal diaphrams making them impervious to pulsations through the fuel rail.

However if you still decide to persist in putting that junk on your car then leave the standard fpr where it is. The return line from the standard reg then feeds into side of the malpassi reg and the return from that then goes back to the tank. Make sure both still have a good vacumm signal. This way the majority of the pressure is held by the standard FPR.

yeah i would agree that you would be better off putting a sard in. i chose a sard for that reason..the metal diaphrams holds pressure perfectly..sell the malpassi to some n/a car owner and go get a sard...and bandaid fixes are not a good idea either..if your injectors are leaking...more pressure will just worsen that problem..so do as R31nismoid says and check pump voltages, check you fuel filter isn't blocked, check condition of clamps and injectors. I would do this even if you still put an adjustable reg in

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
