So I found a leak on my rail the other week, dodgey o-ring..no worries welded a bung in it problem solved..

fit it all back up and prime..

Now with ignition still on ,fuel pressure hits 3bar , then ever so slowly drops down to about 1-1.5 bar then sits there..

I haven't started it up yet and I can't find another leak anywhere. but is it right that it drops still, or should it be holding at 3 bar?

Just want to make sure before I bolt all my pipes back up..

From memory my stock pump would prime up to the same and if you left it sitting, it would slowly drop to around about 1.5 almost 2bar as well.

I don't remember the definite numbers but it did drop significantly, with my nismo pump it primes up high and very slowly drops slightly not much though.

Not if there is no leaks... How long does it hold 20psi though?

Wind the reg up and test it at 70psi, then drop it back to where it was. Make sure its running the same pressure though, or don't boost it before the retune.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
