Can someone please let me know if this has been installed right?

Is it ok to have that second fuel pressure regulator without a vacuum hose to it?

regulatorInstall.jpg

The lowest pressure I can get it down to is about 48psi. I also had a Walbro fuel pump installed.

I'm also still having fueling issues. Up high I can only get the AFR's to be around 12:1 -> 12.7:1, and I'm only running 11psi!!!

My mods include: FMIC, full 3" exhaust from turbo back, high flow cat, pod in cold air box, greddy profec B spec 2, and power fc.

Do I need new injectors? I don't think it should be running that lean!!! :(

from the pic its right!!!!!!!!!!

put in a gauge on the side of the fuel regulator turn up to about 55psi ..or abit higher...this may help....if still haveing prob them get injector...

you may need ur power fc retune if u go higher psi...wat duty cycle r u running??is the duty c/c very high???...........wat power r u running???

Looks likes its done right. Does it have a base psi?

I'd say it probably wouldnt be able to go below "xx" or whatever.

Personally from what ive expirianced with my car

sell the regulator. Use the stock item, nothing wrong with them.

Get rid of the walbro also and get a Bosch item.

Use injectors in conjunction with the stock reg and decent pump and you wont have one iota of issue.

UPDATE:

The fpr wasn't installed correctly. There is now a t-piece to join the vacuum line with the yellow arrow to the bit in the yellow circle as well.

The fpr wasn't doing it's job and because this wasn't installed properly the car was leaning out in the top end with only 11psi and close to 100% duty cycle on the injectors.

Ben from UAS diagnosed the problem and fixed it right up. Also retuned... Results of that will be in a different thread.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
