Would pay to get the mixtures checked out. Obviously dropping the fuel pressure reduces fuel flow. Wouldn't want to melt pistons due to running lean.

OP this is a very good idea.

If you're in sydney you could ask Johnny to do it, he might even set your fuel pressure properly for a small fee

I have a top mount fuel rail with 750cc injecorts and a plenum waiting to go in Along with a hypergear atr43ss2 turbo z32 afm and a powe fc so i think i may need one when it comes to tuning in the future

Nope. Don't need one.

yeah what ben said....adjustable fuel pressure regulators were a thing when upgrading injectors was an expensive proposition, you should only ever need a stock regulator if you run the right pump for the right injectors....most if not all injector flow rates are tested at 43.5psi....your fuel pump just needs to be able to keep up that pressure when the injectors open.

i doubt the stock reg will fit in that rail though. forget rising rate too, just set and forget

possible, if you use those EFI Hardware adapters..

I was going to do that, but thought what the heck.. fit an external and have control over the rail pressure.

What is the point of a rising rate reg? something about squeezing more fuel out in the top end or something?

That's right. They kind of had a use when ecu's couldn't be tuned.

Now they have no real use. Get correct size injectors and tune away.

eh?

All fuel regulators are rising rate.. as you increase boost pressure, fuel pressure is increased.. it's only NA cars that just run 3bar (or whatever) when there's no vacuum.

The purpose of a normal fuel pressure regulator is to maintain EXACTLY the same pressure drop across the injectors regardless of what the downstream (manifold) pressure is. So, it doesn't matter if the manifold is in vacuum, at atmospheric, or boosted to 2 bar, if the reg is referenced to the manifold pressure then it will make the fuel rail pressure go up and down with it, maintaining the same delta P. This is desirable because the spray pattern generated and the quality of the atomisation is a function of the delta P.

That could be thought of as rising rate, but it's not really, as it is completely linear. A true rising rate reg will add MORE pressure to the fuel as the manifold pressure rises. As has been mentioned before, this was a common cheat to get more flow out of injectors without ruining the idle and low load mixtures when adding more power.....back in the bad old days.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
