i had this sard reg on my old fuel setup with just one 044 but now i got two 044 fuel pumps feeding the rail, the motor has just been built so when i goes in for the run tune i dont want it to be over fueling the motor or something else that i could of fix before the tune... so does anyone else have one of these regs with a big fuel system to know if its to small... cheers..

put a fuel pressure gauge in there and see with the reg adjusted to the lowest setting and see what fuel pressure you get, this will be the minimum, aslong as this is less than ~30psi it'll be fine. obviously dont run the motor if your not ready for that, just let the pump prime a few times

Definately too small - will overload reg at low loads. Use a pressure switch to turn the secondary 044 on at high boost and you won't have any issues with pumps overheating or fuel pressure problems.

If you switch one pump on and off, be sure to install a non-return valve on the suction side of that pump...

Two 044's are alot of fuel... especially if you try and squeeze it through a small return oriface (sard reg)

To help stabilize fuel temps and return pressure, I will be running a FPR with a -10 return outlet and -10 retun line on my next set up (1400hp aeromotive pump).

This is the reg:

I also need the muliple outlets for nitrous, 2 fuel pressure transducers and an accumulator.

Hope that helps

I ran one of these regs with 2 x 044's for years...never a problem with lack of return flow...we even measured flow rates and pressures at idle...rock solid.

    • 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!
