Hi everyone, my r33 gtst is currently receiving some modifications and i have been recommended to use a malpassi rising rate fuel regulator/pump? any ideas on these gizmos? current mods are hks dump pipe/exhaust, gt2530, apexi hybrid front mount, powerfc (to be installed). I am hoping to run some decent boost, perhaps 15-18 psi and have been told the injectors will struggle to keep up with this sort of airflow... any tips?

I too am interested in responces to this question. I have simmilar mods and my injectors are at about 90+% duty cycle.

I question running 15-19 PSI with a factory turbo (though I have heard on this forum of those who do) but I think Ill stick with the safer 11-13psi pange.

PS - what prices can people get these for, as i dont see many come up on the for sale forums.

I'm currently using a Malpassi and have managed to get over 400rwhp from the standard injectors with it. It is preferable to increase the size of you injectors rather than simply increase the fuel pressure, but so far it's worked for me with no side effects.

I wouldn't run a rising rate regulator without upgrading the pump though, as the standard pump will struggle against the higher pressure.

GTR pumps will support 250rwkw, but are a bit pricey when you consider that for the cost of a second hand unit you can buy a new bosch pump.

044 will cost about $400 or less, but require a bit of messing around to fit, not too bad but would be expensive to pay someone else to fit and make sure you have all the parts because some of the connectors can be a bit hard to source.

Bosch also do intank pumps that would flow as much as a gtr pump for alot cheaper, ie 250-300 mark, but I think it would be better for someone who has fitted one of these to explain it like Rob77. Apparently alot easier than the 044 to fit.

For under $200 you can get an adjustable ruel pressure reg from japan that will fit in the stock position and look stock, such as Nismo. They have an adjustment bolt on the top. They will also do the job.

Some food for thought, BOOSTD has over 260rwkw with a bigger fuel pump and stock injectors but stock fuel pressure reg, so it may not be necessary to upgrade both, depending on what power you are chasing. But definately do the pump at least.

I too have a 2530 like matrixx + all the other stuff including pump and malpassi.

A few minutes ago I replaced my stock s2 AFM with a Z32AFM and set the powerfc air intake to 80mm VG30 (is this the correct setting?).

On low boost I have no problems with injector duty, but on high boost the powerfc reads 100% before I hit redline.

When I get the car tuned this week, will they just increase the fuel so duty at high boost < 100% or do I need injectors?

MRK25T, you may not need to change the fuel pressure (but sounds like you will).

When you change the setting to VG30, the power fc automatically seems to add abit of fuel (well mine definately did anyways) - probably a safety thing until you get it tuned.

My injector duty dropped by 10% (at peak) when I got it tuned.

I doubt it will be anything to worry about, and will be sorted when the car goes back on the dyno. It will become more apparent what you need to do then. Until that time, Iwould suggest low boost:)

Guys on this forum have made up to 300rwkw with stock injectors and a RR fuel reg, although its not ideal, it shows how far people can stretch injectors.

My car runs a malpassi rising rate std injectors and a 400hp bosch pump, i was told that the malpassi is set pretty much to std pressure, what am i going to benefit by winding it up? i have not yet lit the wick with the boost side of things, only about 9-10psi (car tuned on 12psi)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
