seems to me it is set up to negate the leaning off of cyl 5 and 6 at high boost pressures. Being a stock item it's not up to copeing with aftermarket big turbos etc.

Hmmmm! does this mean that a properly set up aftermarket regulator should actually replace the one at the rear of the rail, not just tack on in line after the front one.???

So the firewall regulator lets fuel in to the fuel rail and the front fuel regulator holds fuel back to create the fuel pressure so to speak.

I don't understand why you would need to regulate the fuel coming in to the fuel rail. I would have thought only regulating the fuel leaving the fuel rail would be sufficient.

yeah i agree, unless it's a fail safe, so that in the event of the fuel reg at the exit of the rail failing to release enough pressure, the one on the entry will stop excessive fuel rail pressure, which may otherwise be able to overcome the o-ring seals on the injectors.

Ok this should clear things up a bit. Seires 1 r32's have one fuel reg on the fuel rail . Series II r32's have an extra one on the other side of the fuel rail.

I been trying to work out why this is so . All i can come up with is that it allows more precise regulation of the fuel pressure.

And every r32 i have seen come into work all have a broken vacuum hose going to the second reg. Its a common thing. The hose just gets brittle with age.

Also the second reg doesnt work on vacuum like the primary one. only seems to read positive pressure.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
