fuel pressure reg 1-1

[bigbhpwannabe]

hi there im just wondering if any of you guys with turbo conversions could point me in the right direction of an ajustable 1-1 fuel regulater there is a few buget options on ebay but seem too cheap to be any good any help would be great

[fowler]

why would you want this with good management and a good fuel pump a diffrent reg is not required

[bigbhpwannabe]

oh sweet , didnt rlly think about it ,was just another item on my list ,cheers fowler

[fowler]

the best option is to buy a brand new reg from BMW and by a E36 M3 Fuel pump this will give you the required fuel pressure
what injector size are you going for ???

[bigbhpwannabe]

ok sounds like a plan , is the m3 fuel pump better/cheaper than the walbro 255l , as for injectors i havent bought any yet but have been looking at standard cosworth yellow Weber IW-025 , they are 320 cc /@3 bar , not sure what sort of power they will take me to but there cheap , think that four of them are good for around 280hp on a stage 1 cosworth .

[fowler]

you will need bigger injectors fella if you want to run some nice boost on the M20 what is your target BHP wise ????

wellat the moment i have a standard but healthy 325i 1990 , i was gonna start with just 7psi as i have ordered a ms1 -extra ecu ready built and a vems afr and egt , rlly want to try and map it my self and with a standard engine it doesnt matter too much if i cock it up and melt it in the progresses of learning , i also have two other 325i engines ,one with 318is pistons in and the second i want to have the standard pistons machined , i want to put stud and nut kits on both of these ,one with welded water chanels ,the other eith just a mls gasket , ,i have a tcd cast manifold with a garret gt40 , and a flea-bay special with external eastegate adaptor and a garrett to4b with .60 compresser and 1.15 turbine , the later i will be useing on my standard engine as well .

[fowler]

well you can only run a Bar of boost on a STD engine.
the kit you have is overkill but you have the equipment to take it further.

[bigbhpwannabe]

yeah i thought that both turbos were a bit too big for a standard engine set up , i only bought the to4 a few days ago , and didnt realise it had that massive turbine houseing on
do you think that the injectors that i intend to use will be ok a a bar of boost , if not can you recomend some that would be ok , cheers fowler
