i had my car on the dyno for a tune yesterday and when we got to 400kw it started running into problems with fuel

we had a fuel pressure + flow gauge connect to the car while we were tuning the flow doesnt drop at all but the fuel pressure goes from 40psi to 60psi and then just drops back down to 40 instead of going higher it just drops back to 40 and the car leans out so we neva got to finish the tuning

fuel system is pretty basic

bosch 023 (rated at 700hp) mounted intake

SARD 800cc injectors

HKS fuel reg

well pressure dropping is usually an indictor of pump running out of puff, or faulty fuel regulator, not restrictive fuel rail. are you sure the fuel flow wasn't affected at all by pressure change? where were you measuring the flow, and how?

dirty fuel filter?

its got a brand new fuel filter already on it

it cant be a fuel reg because at 1st we thought it was a faulty fuel reg and replaced my SARD fuel reg with a HKS one and it changed nothing

the fuel gauge we have is the blue one

the gauge is used to measure fuel pressure the it has a ball which moves up and down to show u how much fuel flow u have

isnt the 023 rated less then a 044?

could be upgrade time

the 044 is rated at 600hp

the 023 is rated at 700hp

if you are running stock wiring to your fuel pump then that will be part of your issue kemp

we have already wired the fuel pump so it gets full voltage

are you sure the 023 is rated higher than a 044? From what info i could find the 023 is rated at 163L/H @ 5bar vs. the 044 rated at 200L/H @ 5bar.

The HP ratings on pumps vary by 300hp depending on where you buy them, the L/H don't.

Who has actually found the limits of the stock fuel rail?

I know its not the answer to your question but i had just on 400 KW at the treads on a stock rail and Nismo regulator.

Cool thanks

Would be good to know at what point it gives up for future reference and anyone doing a search will no doubt read this thread and hope to find the answer

Why?

I run a surge/external in mine and i drive it daily. I cant say its that much louder at all if the pump is mounted decently

i realli dont want to go threw all the trouble of fitting a surge tank and all the lines im after some thing i can just bolt in and fit the problem

i wanna get out of this the most cheapest way i can as well

      Can anyone shed some insight on this Turbo?

      Theyre probably just -7 or N1 turbos

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      The previous owner told me that he had a shop replace the old turbos with these. https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html Anyone know anything about them?  Looks like they are just GT2860R's? Not sure why they are renamed Grup-N...  Does the compressor wheel look like they are in okay condition?

      how do i install this 3 port mac valve for boost control?

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Just wanted to update everyone. I finally got around to working on the car this year and I did a boost leak test. It seems like i was hooking up the 3 port mac-valve correctly, but there is a massive leak on the rear turbo's wastegate actuator. Where the seam comes together.

      Need help about headlight

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just checking; you are buying an aftermarket headlight for your V35, and the new headlight comes with a daylight running light that you want to wire in? You have the option of just not wiring the DRL in, and the new headlight will work like the old. If you want the DRL to work you will have to wire it in on the car as it wasn't delivered with one. Best way is to add a Normally Closed or Changeover relay in the car, and wire: 87a to both DRL power wires 30 to a fused ignition power source 86 to earth 85 tap into the power wire that goes to the low beam headlight Note, you cannot use the much more common Normally Open relay for this, you need the DRL to turn off when the headlight is on and vice versa.
