hello all, had my car dyno'd and tuned last week, have bosch 044 fuel pump still with standard fuel pressure reg, and was told the the fuel pressure at idle is to high, hence making the car idle really rich and at around 1100rpm. Was told the the standard fuel pressure reg cannot physically bypass enough fuel back to the tank and could be putting excess load on the fuel pump at idle.

I am running,

Safc, bosch 44 fuel pump, 11psi boost, front mount.

Was interested if anyone else running similar setups to this has an aftermarket fuel pressure reg, if so what brand? did u install it yourself and if anyone has any idea wat the correct fuel pressure should b in the fuel rail at idle?

Any help/feedback would be greatly appresiated

think 40ish is standard. i got a nismo running at 42 psi. have a walbro fuel pump. no idle issues. got my tuner to set it up when the hi flow when on as still running standard injectors, gives me a little bit of head room.

i've got the standard 25 fpr, had the car tuned with a bosch 910 (~400hp pump) then swapped to an 044 and it didnt change the idle at all. fuel reg ended up dying and replaced it with another stocker and its still fine

370rwkw, Bosch 040 external pump - factory fuel reg

Sounds like if anything your fuel reg might be stuffed, or the return line somehow blocked,

You do not need an aftermarket reg, you have a problem elsewhere.

hey again, am lucky enough 2 have a house mate with an r33 gtst wid similar mods. His car idle's perfectly so i swapped my fuel press reg with his and still the same thing. Since then my car has started 2 stall randomly. Someone suggested my air flow meter is stuffed, but that has been swapped as well still with no difference. Has anyone had issuses similar 2 this? Please help!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
