Fuel Pressure Regulator

Traders Evil Empire Performance
#1

Hey Rob! :smiley:

When are you ever going to get around to adding the
fuel pressure regulator kit to your website?

I know you are soooooooo busy building your empire (evil?), but
my winged beast from the east is in need of some serious juicing! :shock:

Iā€™ve tried the stock regulator, which was overdriven by my pump. Pah! :?

Iā€™ve tried the FSE ā€œPower boostā€ valve. It did miss the dogs bum terribly! :roll:

Iā€™ve tried one I got off eBay (dont laugh), and Iā€™m still trying to set the pressure without it creaping up to 4bar by itself! :shock:

This sounds like Goldylocks and the 3 FPRs? Or was it bears? :lol:

Well, thats my rant for this week. Anyone wanna join in?

Paul.

Paul,
We have both SX-performance and Aeromotive FPRā€™s in stock, give Rob a call when you can and heā€™ll be able to sort you out.

10-4. Will do. Thanks.

Right,

A fuel pump of 180lph can delivery 3 litres per minute, which is 50ccā€™s per second. At that rate, a 70 litre tank would be gone in almost 24 minutes. At 100mph, you could cover 38 miles.

So why install an uprated fuel pump? Surely we just need a decent FPR?

Why does the Supra have a 290lph pump?
Its basically the same engine configuration. 3.0L twin turbo.

These numbers dont add up. Are we being duped into uprating a fuel system which doesnt need to be? (Iā€™m only the messenger, and not sent by god) :smiley:

If you plan on upping the boost, then really to get any decent gains you need bigger injectors. To support the flow that bigger injectors will draw you need a bigger pump. The stock pressure reg gets overwhelmed by a bigger pump and so you end up needing a decent fpr that can flow more to stop that happening when the injectors are only opening a little, eg at idle etc.

Cheers,

Ben.
