Been told and looking for information on the MALPASSI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS

basically is anyone using these on turbo cars and what are the results?

my engine builder and tuner have strayed me away and told me not to use it as it stuffs around with your A?F ratios too much (ie. 3 runs on dyno same tune and 3 diff A/F ratios?)

can anyone confirm this and give me info and results if you have used them

Thanks

Have useed them in the past to get more power out of standard injectors, the pressure has to be setupm as it isnt out of the box. There are three different models, 1:1, 1.7:1 and 2:1. no problems with varience on the dyno. i dont understand why do you need one?

i bought one cause i've just turboed my na and havent upgraded the injectors but a little extra pressure will make them flow a little better as i dont quite need to replace the injectors just yet, putting it on on friday when the car goes on the dyno. ill see how it goes.

i think he was refering the n/a injectors to my post earlier, and i didnt pick up stock injectors cause right now i dont need them for the car, im planning on upgrading the fuel rail 550ish injectors high flowed turbo cams bigger cooler and prob a head gasket in about 6 months and who knows what condish the second hand injectors are in at least i know mine are good and up to the task im asking of them right now

    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
