Yes I did Martin but my computer is playing up and I cant max the pictures I have found the original regulator I think at the frount drivers side of the manifold I had a look at Marks classic and his is plumbed differant to the bugeye all I really need to know is where the pipes go.any chance of posting the pics on here for me
cheers

Mark,

Mark, basically the same as the "classic" if you are doing this, main difference is that the O.E. reg is located at the front of the drivers side fuel rail (rather that at the back on early cars)...................very easy to get at

Yeah got it sorted thanks Alyn.

Bob Rawle

You are better off not fitting it though and just uprating the fuel pump especialy if the factory ecu is still in use. They seem to cause more problems than they solve imho. The ecu pwm's the pump according to engine load via the fp controller so there is no problem with overpowering.

This is being done mid-mod cycle Bob. Its in prep for a TD05, bigger injectors and ecu swap.

Andy.F

Agree with Bob regards the later cars, unless of course you need the higher fuel pressure setting in order to squeeze more power out the injectors ?

Andy

mark@wrx

Hmmm, we'll see what you reckon when it arrives with you Andy!

Andy/bob,
As mark says this is to be fitted once the injectors and TD05-fe are fitted the injectors I am using are off an sti8 from america which I belive flow to 575 so i would be upping the fuel flow = more power ?. Alyn yhpm.

Andy.F

On a TD05 FE such as your car Gussy then those larger injectors will flow enough at std fuel pressure on the uprated pump. If you were to fit a 20G then it may get marginal without increasing pressure.

As std the later cars run more pressure in any case, bear in mind that a walbro gets into real trouble at pressures above 5 bar so you have to watch out. There really shouldn't be the need, if there is then hiking the injector size is the correct way to do it, not the fuel pressure, again this relates to running factory management. So if you are fitting bigger injectors just fit something that will cope on normal pressures etc. If you are planning on using aftermarket management then you can do what you like within reason although the fuel pressure concerns are the same.

Thanks for that bob as I said earlier I have the fse lying in the garage so while the cars in bits I might as well fit it saves doing it at a later date if I decide to up the spec later.

could someone post a pic of the location of the fuel reg on the new age cars

stockcar

where the braided fuel line disappears to the left behind the perrin intake is the std location for the new-age cars...................
some JDM and/or spec-C cars have it to the right of the manifold near the passenger side turret...............

Oooooooooo! Who's the rich CANT that splashed out on the Magnus inlet, Alyn? Very

One thing i didn't really like about fitting an aftermarket reg on a newage, was the lack of 90degree pipe on the fuel line fitting. Just didn't like how you then have the fuel pipe doing the 90degree bend...

cheers stockcar,thought it was there but just checkin,im fittin a boost controller tomorrow and had planned to just T into the vacum line at the fuel reg,is that where u would T in cheers
