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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
