SkylineCR Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hi guys, hope I wish you could help me. Change fuel regulator, fuel pump, dynamics injectors 1050cc, fuel rail (radium) on my skyline R33. It keeps staying lean when warms up. Fuel regulator have kind of pulse and it is undriveable. I'm going to clean my fuel tank and lines, but just trying to find out what could be.

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Do you have all hard lines or stainless braided lines to and from the rail, etc.? if so you might have fuel pulsation issues. I had the same on my car and another car I setup running a big fuel system and fairly hard lines. A way to stop this from happening is to install a Fuel Pulsation Damper (FPD), Radium have a few decent ones: 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/484259-fuel-regulator-pulsing/#findComment-7973150 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkylineCR Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Thanks guys, for your quick response. I'm going to buy that fuel damper. Started to fail after changing injectors and fuel rail. We tuned my car again and keep doing the same. Wideband shows AR sooo lean.

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Yep that's fuel pulsation, try pull off your return line (post reg) and dump it into a jerry can. Does it go away?

GTSBoy Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Not only is it pulsating, but the centre of the range of the pressure appears to be about half what it should be. Why is the reg not wound in to give ~43 psi base pressure. That could be all of your lean issue right there. And, I second the following 21 minutes ago, robbo_rb180 said: How is the fuel pump wired?

What size were the previous injectors? 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/484259-fuel-regulator-pulsing/#findComment-7973157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, the shorter fuel pulse damper fits in the rail. http://www.radiumauto.com/Assets/ProductImages/20-0776_FPD.jpg I used 2 of them in my rail, you can kinda see them if you squint. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/484259-fuel-regulator-pulsing/#findComment-7973177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neostead2000 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 What about the pre-existing fuel dampers which Nissan put, all 3 of 'em? At least on my neo there are 3, one right after the fuel pump inside the tank, one mounted on the strut tower and one on the inlet side of the fuel rail. Having rubber lines actually helps with pulsation dampening, but it is true that bigger injectors like to "pound" harder inside the line especially at certain resonances. Also I've had that same AFPR gauge behavior on my other car (which has 1000cc jets and NO fuel dampers) and it was an improperly set pressure (way too high) which caused the spring to get mega stiff and was bouncing up and down inside. P.S if your gauge has a little valve on the side, make sure to "pop" it once to reset and recalibrate it to your ambient pressure right now. Liquid filled gauges love to read off by tons if they have never been recalibrated and ambient pressures have changed.

I can only speak for myself, but they are in the bin! The radium setup with them in the rail is much tidier then having external dampers. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/484259-fuel-regulator-pulsing/#findComment-7973247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
