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 .

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
