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!

-Michael

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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
