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.

    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.  
    • I was just watching these boys up in QLD AWD'ing their S13 too.  
    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
