Just had it pointed out to me that my sard reg probably isn't E85 safe. Anyone had one fail? I can only assume that if a lot of you are using a stock RB reg, that an aftermarket one would have a good chance of withstanding problems from E85..

I put the Sard FPR in. I was a bit worried about it at the time hence why i started this thread. Tbh, I wouldn't worry about it too much, It'll be fine.

Like I said, I've had it running straight E85 for a year, no problem.

Had mine for 12months.. Over 10k in kms

Running both 98 and ethenol, no problems

Has been sitting with ethenol in it for quite some time now.. If its stuffed when I start it next month I'll know why

Regs don't flow 'Power', they bypass fuel to hold a certain pressure.

If you can run your desired base fuel pressure with the injectors off and pump running, then the reg has enough flow. Stick a larger pump in, and it might not be large enough...

Sorry don't understand that answer. Bought a Tomei Type L hopefully it's sufficient but still interested in a simpler version of you answer if possible

If your fuel pressure spikes too high you need a larger regulator, it is not dependent on the power your making.

Kind of like the size of a wastegate on a turbo. The more boost your running the smaller the wastegate can be as it is bypassing less air from the turbo to maintain that boost pressure.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
