Hey evey one! I'm new to the community so don't be to hard on me :P) I've tried to search for this kind of thread but could not find anything cirtain.

So I have got a few questions about instalation. Do I hooked it up to the return line? what do I do with the stock fuel pressure regulator ? And what would be stock pressure for rb20det on r32 ?

Thank you...

What sort of aftermarket fuel pressure regulator (FPR) do you have?

We use Nismo FPR's ($180 from Nengun), they replace the standard FPR.

1. So we just unbolt the standard FPR from the fuel rail, replace it with the Nismo FPR and swap over the vacuum hose (from the standard FPR to the Nismo FPR)

2. Then we set up the fuel pressure, to standard (36-38 psi) using a fuel pressure gauge

3. If we need more (or less ) fuel flow we adjust the FPR on the dyno to achieve the AF ratios we want.

Note that #2 requires a fule pressure gauge and #3 requires a dyno, do you have either of those? If not I would not suggest fitting it yourself as it is very easy to run too low fuel pressure and detonate (via lean running) your engine.

If you have bought a stand alone FPR (does not replace the standard FPR) then you simply mount it somewhere close by the standard FPR. Run the fuel return so it goes;

fuel rail--->std FPR--->aftermarket FPR---> std return to the tank

You will need to T into the vacuum supply (from the plenum to the std FPR) to supply vacuum to the aftermarket FPR.

Hope that was of some hlep:cheers:

so if you get after marker fuel pressure reg u still need the factory one to.

if so why would that be

You don't NEED the standard FPR, but if you remove it, what are you going to replace it with? It has to be a fitting that bolts to the end of the standard fuel rail and has plumbing to supply the excess fuel to the aftermarket FPR.

So it is easier/cheaper to simply leave the standard FPR there.:rofl:

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
