I had 400kw with the stock reg and rail.

It's at idle/low load etc that the reg is going to give you issues if at all, as that's when it has to bypass the most fuel flow and when it's working the hardest. It shouldn't be bypassing much at high load as the engine is using it.

And if you ever put a fuel pressure sensor and monitor the oem fuel pressure I reckon it's going to be all over the shop with larger fuel systems... you'll run into fuel pulsation issues 

I put my stock reg back on today and immediately the fuel pump made a horrible squealing noise on startup and while running. The car idles like crap and stalled.

So I put my tomei reg back on and the car started up and idled normally with no abnormal fuel pump noise.

I have 1000cc injectors with a aeroflow topfeed rail on a r33 gtst. So im guessing the stock reg can't cope well at idle?

OK, thanks for that.

It must depend on the fuel pump that is how much pressure/flow they build up.

Also the standard R33 has a fuel pump controller in the back/boot. It drops the fuel pump voltage at idle and low load.

Most after-market ECU's don't handle the fuel pump controller right, so the pump always runs at full voltage.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
