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.

Michael...

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!

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
