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!

    • 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.
