I went to pick up a hi flow malpassi rising rate regulator today :) but got a shock when I saw it. :alien:

I thought it could fit at the front of the fuel rail, and replace the factory one but I noticed the following problems.

1 - the malpassi has 2 inlets (I think) and one outlet on the bottom, as well as the vacume line whilst the little factory unit has one inlet, and one outlet. (What do I do with the 2nd inlet?)

2. how do you mount it to the end of the fuel rail? the fitting for the original is a screw on item, and the fittings provided look VERY incompatable.

Any instructions, photos or information would be greatly appreciated.

dude i got one of these. fuel goes in at the bottom and out of the the outlets on the side. vac on top and plug the other one up. on my rb20 it has the hose going from regulator to the side of the plenum and then another hose connected to the std regulator.. the std one has no vac.. this is how i bought the car.. seems to work fine.. but latley my car is chuggin and shit when idleing at anything belove 1000rpm.. lights fade, car nearly stalls, ONLY on idle.. i belive this is cause of the fuel regs pressure is to high.. so make sure you get it set up on a dyno or something.. my car blows a fair amount of flames/pops n stuff so i guess its too much fuel being unused.. but yea..there you go.. hope this helps.

Hi,

Its very simple.

1, Lets say the top of the reg is the section that has the vacuum nipple and adjustment

2, The holes in the sides are fuel in and fuel pressure gauge. If your not using a gauge then you must block one of the side holes off.

3, The hole in the bottom is fuel back to the tank.

4, Your original reg is bolted to the rail with a vacuum line and fuel hose attatched to it which if you follow it goes to the tank.

5, The hose coming off your original reg you need to cut some where, where you can mount the Malpassi reg. This hose has to join the original reg to the side of the Malpassi.

6, The other end of the hose that goes back to the tank pushes on to the bottom of the Malpassi.

7, The vacuum line for your standard reg is where you get vacuum for the Malpassi so just get a t piece and t into it leaving the standard one connected. This is so you still have a fairly smooth idle as just using the Malpassi can create idle problems due to too much pressure.

8, You will need to set the pressure on the malpassi while the car is idling and the vacuum line is disconnected on both the malpassi and standard reg. Set it to about 40psi. Then hook both vacuum lines back on.

9, A mounting bracket bolted to the rhf strut bolt is generally the easiest to put it for a skyline. Enjoy!

Yes you can have vac to both regs. Doing this will give you standard pressure at idle meaning smooth idle. If you are running high pressures on the malpassi and dont have the vacuum line connected to the standard reg you might have idle problems such as stalling and very low idle.

Not too sure if this point is valid but would likie some confirmation on one thing, if your installing the malpassi to increase fuel pressure on the rail shouldn't it replace the standard one? if the standard is there wouldn't it override the efforts of the malpassi?

some ideas would be good!

Cheers

I was hoping for some pics aswell, maybe over the weekend.

Last Friday I was just dropping in to say G'Day - couldnt realy go on the cruise as my wife and kids were all at home sick with the gastro bug.

Once I get the fuel pump, regulator and a dyno tune though I'm looking forward to some good cruzes. Hoping for in excess of 200 RWKW :)

If you put a malpassi with a higher base pressure after the stock regulator then you will have higher base pressure through out the whole system. The stock regulator will open at say 40psi but the malpassi is behind it is maintaining say 50psi. That means that the stock regulator is just sitting there causing a restriction in the fuel system.

Anyone got rich idle problems when running a bigger fuel pump? This is because the stock reg cant flow enough fuel to maintain the 40psi (this is just an arbitary number) base pressure and hence the pressure behind the injectors increases and they squirt in more fuel for given opening time. When you are driving, there is more fuel being used by the engine and so the regulator doen't need to flow as much to maintain a set pressure so it's ok.

By fitting a rising rate malpassi you can eliminate this problem by setting the standard base pressure, and hence get good idle mixtures, and as it has a 2:1 rising rate (from memory) you get additional fuel into the engine when you are on boost which is where you really need it.

If you are running a higher base pressure then you will require tuning to get the idle right but due to the higher pressure atomisation of the fuel mixtures will be affected so you may never achieve a factory idle.

Just my 2 cents.

I have tried to find a fitting to replace the stock regulator all day but had no luck. Could you just drill the internals of the orignal fuel reg out at all and just keep it on to save getting a fitting made????

Please let me know asap as im having a lot of fuel dramas.

thanks

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
