Well got my car tuned yesterday and we had run into a problem with not getting enough fuel. using a Altronic SM4 ECU. we were hitting 95% on the injectors (nismo 555cc) around the 260rwkw, mark also have a Sard fuel pump in the car.

Anyway my mechanic said it is the Sard Fuel reg i have on the car was the problem. As he has seen this problem before on a WRX with a sard reg on it.

He over came the problem with a bosch fuel reg for a VL commodore on the WRX, and said the sard one wouldn't keep up or something along those lines.

so will be trying the standard one back on the car and see if that fixes the problem or do the bosch fuel reg upgrade....around $60-$80 mark.

any info on this problem would be great...........and calling out to Sydneykid for a answer! :laugh:

well im making more than that and i have a sard reg so i dont see that being the problem ...whats the fuel pump rated at ...?..your injectors are more than enough..i would check fuel pressure also ... and what are the a/f's at ..?

cheers

i cannot possibly imagine it being the problem. a standard fuel reg will flow enough for that pump and those injectors. a sard one will too. you shouldn't need to be running pressure any higher than stock either. 555cc injectors are ample for 260rwkw as is the sard pump as is the sard reg.

my GTR is running 440cc injectors, nismo pump, stock reg and making 280rwkw with no problems appart from injectors very near their limit.

had a fuel pressure and fuel flow guage on it on the dyno?

there is no guess work involved in pin pointing the problem, you don't have to try different parts, use the correct tools to begin with and save time, money and engines.

if your mechanic is guessing who have a bad mechanic/dyno tuner.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
