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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
