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:

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

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
