(obviously u can but is it a sensible thing to do) ??Running a 044 surge kit with wiring.. 1000cc injectors..Mind u the car will have a FULL custom Dyno done when this is complete..and be tuned accordingly..The afore mentioned drop in 4bar reg looks good but for $150ish landed from the states and $175ish from a site sponsor is a bit rich..The TboSmart reg adapter and using an aftermarket Reg is a wayyy cheaper alternative but I honestly dont want to go down this route if I dont have to..

People have done the ghetto drill before!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that in the pix now looking at it..I might open it up a few mm, it cant hurt I dont think.. and it can be tuned around the new flow on the dyno no problems im sure..

Reading thru the topics people have only upgraded it as insurance and sometimes overkill.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 6m 1d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 31/01/14 10:47 AM Share Posted 31/01/14 10:47 AM I'm running a Walbro 400, have drilled out the valve/restrictor in the swirl pot return and also drilled the black elbow in the bottom of the swirl pot to 3mm. Saw fuel pressure drop from 68psi down to 55psi. Stock was 52psi before I installed the Walbro. Still using a stock reg.Benny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure dropped, so it must of been the swirl pot<br /><br />I drilled out the blank elbow, it was 2mm, and went to about 3.7mm in small increments.<br /><br />Not bad for an $80 drop in regulator<br /><br />Thanks for your help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
