| Post subject: | fuel pressure regulator |
well, on a whim, i picked up a fuel pressure regulator from a twin cam 1.8, i.e. a 4g67, and it fit on the 4g15 8-valve fuel rail without modifications. straigh bolt-on. now my question, what advantages or disadvantages could this possibly have/ `joe my keyboard is broke, so the slash is actually a question mark. live with it. stupid shift buttons... |

They are probably the same part. Given the FPR was in good condition then there would be no difference as they perform the same function and in the same way on just about any EFI engine. |

The stock fpr from the 4g15 provides the highest pressure of all the fprs. |

The FPR is located on the end of the fuel rail at the opposite end from where the fuel line attaches. It has a return line to the gas tank and a vacuum line which controls the regulator. It has no adjustment of its own. You can increase fuel pressure by restricting the vacuum line, or restricting the return line. I believe withe vacuum line removed, the 4g15's FPR maintains pressure at 56psi. 46psi with the line attached.

hmm.. so it´s simple: just plug the vacuum line and thats it? but what this means? (read in somesort manual for my 4G15) Rough idle or engine stalls --> cause of that --> Vacuum hose disconnected or damaged |

i take that hose what goes to the intake manifold and cut it two pieces and seal it.. it works fine but i haven´t notice anything

IMO removing the vac line is worthless. The whole idea of the vac line to FPR is so that fuel pressure remains constant relative to manifold pressure. Removing the vac line will mean you get higher fuel pressure (and hence richer mixtures) at idle and low load condtions (where you dont want the extra fuel) and the fuel pressure will be exactly the same as it was before at WOT (where you do want it). Your only going backwards. |

Your only going backwards.  Yup! Rising rate FPR is the route to go. They are quite expensive though.

So can we use this with the 61t?? |

you mean a 1.5 FPR on a 1.6T? hmmm EDIT: damn that sentence was short! ~joe |

Slightly higher fuel pressure! I dont know if it will make a noticeable difference, but with mods and the abscence of any other fuel control system, its your cheapest best bet. Damn that sentence was long!

I have an extra one, so I'll have to try it. My only problem is that I am OUT OF FUEL right now. My injector duty cycle has hit 102%. How that's possible I don't know, but I guess it cuts into the dead time of the next cycle. So if my fuel pump can supply enough, this may work to reduce the duty cycle. How many lph is the stock pump in our cars?? |
