'87quest Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Got my regulator the other day and just installed it. Hate to say it but I'm really disappointed, the product looks great and everything fit nice.. Took a whole 30 sec to install and was set right at 40 psi base pressure which is what I wanted. But mine drops fuel pressure when I rev it up. Tried driving it around the block and just kept leaning out. I know this because of my in cab fuel press gauge and wideband. I tried adjusting the base pressure up but it still does the same thing. Instead if rising the fuel press like it's supposed to when it sees more vacuum it lowers my fuel press. Very disappointed after waiting many many months for this. I'm not sure if it's just mine or what but I bolted my old one back up and now it's running strong. Well heron if you see this please get in contact with me (I'll pm you as well) as I'd like a refund.

pcristquester Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 That's horrible. Has anyone had success with the SPA version( might be same manufacturer) that SOTTY pointed out earlier in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give 1 more turn on the screw so it reads about 42 or 43psi and check it again. Also make sure the top nut is locked in place. Keep me posted.HeronTRILOGY TURBOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the ports closest to the OVC pipe are the one you are using, that thing has issues. Edited August 7, 2014 by Fuze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'87quest Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/C949C638-2716-44A8-8402-BA282CF7D491_zpsn7vherzg.jpg Here you can see which port I'm using. The one the my stock one has always been hooked up to directly below the fpr. I tried turning it up more and I had the nut locked but it did the same thing, only brought the base pressure up. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong or what but I don't think I am because is put the stock one on and it's working fine just my base psi is only around 35-36.

Trilogy Turbos Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just want to make sure you're turning the screw to the right side, remember the FPR is upside down so you have to turn the screw counter clock wise to raise the fuel pressure. Also make sure you have the hose disconnected and blocked off when adjusting the fuel pressure; car on and idling. Keep me posted.HeronTRILOGY TURBOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'87quest Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yes, Ive had it on and off three times now. I've tried it at 40psi, 42psi, 45psi, and 35psi. it does the same thing each time. it holds the base press fine while at idle but as soon as i go into boost it drops pressure and leans out. ill try to get a video for you to see so you understand. everything is hooked up correct because as soon as i reinstall my stock one it works fine.

Drake Ok. I was checking the other FPR here and I've noticed the brass fitting for the vac line is not tighten all the way in, its just snug. Please check that. I was able to give another 1/4 turn to lock it and get a perfect seal. Try that and keep me posted.Tks. HeronTRILOGY TURBOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'87quest Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Here is a video of my car running your regulator set around 42 base psi. watch the fuel press gauge (on the right) drop when i go into boost (on the left) and lean out on the wideband (in the middle). http://vid1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/IMG_0688_zpsdf1aec95.mp4 Drake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'87quest Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 And heres the one i just took if my car back with the stock regulator. (note the lower base psi) http://vid1321.photobucket.com/albums/u560/drakelehr/IMG_0689_zps9c0c3d8c.mp4 let me know what you think, Drake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'87quest Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Also I tightened the vacuum line fitting a bit but not much. Don't think that's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuGG Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Your AFR looks good with the stock unit so why did you need the adjustable one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Also I tightened the vacuum line fitting a bit but not much. Don't think that's the problem.Your regulator is obviously bad. You need to send it back and the seller needs to send you another one. Even if the boost reference hose was removed or had a massive leak, the regulator should still maintain the base pressure.

'87quest Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Your AFR looks good with the stock unit so why did you need the adjustable one?I bought this regulator almost a year ago before I had a maft on my car which I have tuned in pretty well now. But I would like to have a little higher base psi as it seems my Delphis run a bit better around 40psi. But now I'd just really like a refund for this regulator.

BC_99 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 There has to be a simple problem within the part itself to cause your issue. It is a fairly simple mechanical device. http://www.turbosmartusa.com/technical-articles/how-does-an-fpr-work/Not the exact piece we are talking about, but it should operate the same way. I would be interested to know if any of the other buyers have installed this and have noticed any similar issues. BC_99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_99 Yes you are most likely right but I have a feeling if I started taking it all apart that mine would become non refundable if it still didn't work.. And I was hoping you'd install yours and let us know how it does Drake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_99 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I completely understand and wish that I could assist you in that request. However, I am in the process of pulling the engine from my car. The link was more for reference to you and the seller than any advisement to dig into it.

pcristquester Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Maybe jimalan1989 or huero can chime in how theirs seem to be working if installed yet. So glad you have all the gauges and video proof of performance (lack of thus far). I'm watching this closely. I wonder if anyone has proof (like with your gauges) that these or the SPA version works as advertised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'87quest Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yeah I'm hoping mine is just a fluke deal.. Drake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
