Hi all,

I am thinking changing my stock fuel regulator as it is "stuff". Been finding a 2nd hand stock one for sometime and no luck. Sick and tire of that, decided to buy a new one. Done some search and I am freaked out about the diffenent types. Rising rate 1:1, 1:7.......blah .......blah. The Nismo one seems all right but there is no specs on them. Not sure its a rising rate type but it seems to be easy in installation and quite cheap.

Anyway, before I buy any of that, I would like to know more about the difference between the stock and after market fuel regulator. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers!

Hey there,

A rising rate fuel reg ads more fuel pressure per pound of boost, i.e 1:1 adds 1psi of fuel pressure in the rail per psi of boost.

Say you have 45psi fuel rail pressure as a base setting, at 15psi boost the rising rate reg adds another 15psi of pressure to the fuel rail so you have 60psi in the rail.......this allows more fuel to be injected per injector pulse and therefore run less risk of leaning out.

As a side note i hear they can be a bastard to tune with as the motor keeps getting more and more fuel and can run rich,

i'm not sure on that as i'm not a tuner.

Regards Andrew :(

Why would you search for a second hand (standard) fuel reg, but be prepared to buy a new afterrmarket one?

That doesnt make a lot of sense.

Ring Nissan, and use the stock reg. There is nothing wrong with it. I ran over 350rwkw on the stock one

second that. I have no issue with the stock one up to 270/280.

The stock reg is 1:1 so is nismo, sard, and SX. The stock reg has a steel diaphram unlike any aftermarket reg that I know of so it should be the most stable. And yes tuning for 1.7:1 or 6:1 or 12:1 rising rate regs is shit. If you like the fancy shit and want a to put a nismo or sard sticker on your car then I would recommend these two otherwise use the stock item.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
