I've got a malpassi rising rate fuel reg in my rb20det powered s13. I had it set at about 40psi and i removed the vacuum line on my stock fuel regulator. I went from getting 350klms out of a tank to about 500klms. Off boost was more responsive and i was pretty happy with it. However i kinda think it's too good to be true so im a little worried i may be running too lean. I only have minor mods: rb25 turbo, stock boost (8psi), pod and the fuel reg. Im getting an exhaust tomorrow finally!

the injectors were recently flow tested and cleaned and are spot on. Do you think i should drop the pressure back down to 40psi, or what would be your opinion?

thanks

Did you set the reg at idle with the vacuum line disconnected to 40 psi? If you set it to 40 with the vac line connected you dont need that much pressure. My reg was set on the dyno at full throttle and load to 90psi to squeeze 229.2 kws at wheels with standard injectors. The pressure at idle it 40psi with the hose connected. For standard boost 65 psi at 10psi boost will be heaps.

Hi mase. standard RB20DET fuel pressure is 36 to 38 psi at idle with the vacuum hose disconnected. So 40 psi is a little above standard, car should be running slightly richer and using more fuel. I smell a rat, I would do a power run on the dyno, watch the boost pressure and in particular the A/F ratios. One power run up through the rev range, take about 20 minutes including on and off the roller time.

Hope that helps

    • 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 ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... 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
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
