i was looking at some older threads and found one that said that you can use a bleed valve on your standard fuel reg to adjust pressure? how does this work and would you need to use a fuel pressure gauge to set it?

Thanks guys

Never heard of such a thing ever.But it's a good budget idea none the less.

But no it will not work unless you plan on internally modifying the flange of the fpr for adjustment.To hard for someone with limited access to the proper tools.Ive found one that someone has allready done through a search on the net and wherther it works or not is another question as i havent read any of it.

Heres a home made jobbie right here

I say spend the money on a cheapie that you know is going to work you dont need to go for the brand names,you know wot i mean or you will after youo see what they look like in the end.

OK I give up, why would you want to lower the fuel pressure? Because if you put a bleed valve in between the FPR and the plenum that's what would happen. Surely you want to raise the pressure, or have I missed something? :confused:

But if you put a bleed on the manifold pressure line, then you could successsfully raise the fuel pressure.

There was an article in Zoom (?, might have been Autospeed) some time ago about just such a device, manufactured by one of the performance shops in Adelaide.

I remember reading an article in a magazine a fair while ago that one workshop found a cheapish way to lower the a/f ratio's by controling (to a degree !!) the fuel presure while on boost.

I don't fully understand how it worked, but I presume it bled off some presure etc..

Actually, I think someone here on SAU had one installed for a while.

A bit of a dodgy way if you ask me, I'd save myself the risk and get a S-AFC instead.

I have heard of reducing the fuel pressure to lean off an engine that is running too rich. Usually with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, but I guess you could do it with a cheap bleed valve. In fact you could probably connect an electronic boost controller in between the plenum and the fuel pressure regulator and move the fuel pressure around to over come any rich spots. You can't do that for lean spots thoughs.

So, I am confused, where does the extra pressure (it's really boost ) come from? :headspin:

help us we need help.. hahahha

yeha i don't know, but maybe they thought that because a bleed valve makes boost higher, we could use it on a FPR and increase fuel pressure... HAHAHAHAHA thats funny.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
