TurboBurbo Silver Donating Members 48 Member For: 2y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: WA Wheatbelt Posted 09/04/23 04:22 AM Share Posted 09/04/23 04:22 AM Threw in some 1000cc injectors and 460 walbro a couple of weeks ago and saw my VE table trims fall around 10%-15% at idle/cruise. Going off the common talk on here that the 460 is too much pump for the stock fuel regulator at idle I ordered a GFB regulator that arrived a couple of days ago AAANNNDDD after putting half a tank of fuel through it the new trims don't obviously show that fuel pressures were spiking with the stock regulator. Fuel return line was squirting straight into the tank during all this as I had to cut the corrugated line when fitting the pump and am waiting on a replacement, so I presume the stock regulator was able to flow a little bit better because of this. Also tracked and patched a wiring issue that meant the boost controller wasn't working and I was only getting 7 pound for the last 2 months. Ridiculous how much difference a 3 pound boost in boost makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 30 to 40 rwkw at the boost level. You probably went from 210rwkw to 250rwkw. 1 minute ago, TheDazzlerator said: Ooops wrong forum !!🤐 It's a car and it's today, fits in spot on if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same part number has two different versions that mount differently. Of course the replacement was different, so had to muck around remounting it on the chassis rail, with e85 spilling everywhere. Sorted now though 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to cut some more away because why not haven't had a rub like that since; always good to solve a minor concern. Just left barely enough to stick behind the rolled guard lip so it doesn't fall out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
