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.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
