Aftermarket fuel pressure regs , which work best .

Hi all , I'm using a Turbosmart FPR 800 which I went to when the Plazma rail and ID850s went in .

I'm suspicious that these "entry level" 800s may do some unusual things compared to an OE RB25 reg anyway .

First up they obviously don't hold pressure very long after shut down and the fuel pump sounds excited when priming up to start . Also I seem to get a lightning quick lean spike when opening the throttle at light loads and lowish revs . I use a Tech Edge WB3A2 with a Bosch LSU 4.9 02 probe . It seems impossible to tune out the lean spike and mostly it can't be felt when driving . I've never been inside one of these regs to see what they use for a regulating valve so don't know how well it works compared to an OE FPR .

I've been searching to see what others have found and note some seeing marked pressure fluctuations when the injectors open initially . I did have a play with injector dead time voltages and it did improve the spike partially but its not the real fix .

One FPR tester found that there can be a wide range in FPR performance and while they didn't want to mention brands they did say that the Turbosmart FPR2000 worked quite well . Also btw I'm using a new Nizmo 33GTR fuel pump .

If you want a know good adjustable FPR what's the deluxe option .

Thanks in advance cheers A .

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
