BOSCH fuel pumps & BOSCH fuel regs

[BATMBL]

hi guys

i know the bosch fuel pumps are great like 910, 040, 044 being more expensve in that order etc

but does anyone have any experience with their fuel regs? they are rising rate like the malpassi ones you can buy, and i know the SARD fuel regs are even better, but how about the bosch ones?

i saw on a site the following 2 are available:

Rising Rate Regulator, EFI Push On, 1:1 $ 149.00

Rising Rate Regulator, EFI High Rate, 1:1.8 $ 165.00

im sure people can get better prices than those, but even those prices arent that bad.

i will be getting a BOSCH 040 pump, and theres a thread going on at the S.A forums part that people can get these intank pumps for $240! so thats real good.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

As far as I know, fuel reg is a bandaid option. Once you have the right pump, and it's pumping the right amount of fuel you don't need a fuel reg. PS: I believe R31Nismoid can get bosch pumps at good prices.

ah ok. i was planning to get the pump and fuel reg... maybe i can skip the fuel reg then...will look more into that

I'm a little confused about the whole aftermarket regulator thing?

I understand that it is a bit of a band aid option for those not willing to go as far as injectors, many people seem to be getting a 2530, larger pump and a fuel reg.

Seeing as though I'm looking to get that setup and around 230-250rwkw, what regulator will be needed? e.g. rising rate?...

exactly what im look at getting at the wheels too, prob more on the 230rwkw though as my turbo is only hi-flowed /w bigger wheels from garett (kinda like t3/4 combo wheels) and turbo is now steel not ceramic

ive searched throughout the forums on this topic, and ive come up with the conclusion that although the fuel reg is a type of band aid option, its the only option in order to get some more out of your injectors if you dont have money to upgrade to larger ones. you would need the bigger pump to go with your reg though as they seem to go hand in hand.

i spoke with unigroup engineering who did the dyno on my car, they said if you can afford it, better to get bigger pump and injectors OR if cant afford that option then get bigger pump and fuel reg. in either case however, the bigger pump is a must.
