aftemarket fuel rail help

so basically it goes in the middle of the ruturn line lol
im gonna have a go today so cheers for the help

how do you adjust it tho

dont wanna put it on and it be pushin maximum pressure threw it
would cause damage wouldnt it
could i put the gauge on the air line pipe at the top??
just so i know to set it before i go out playin lol

the gauge shoud screw into the fpr were ever there is space and u adjust it from the top there 2 nuts bottom one is a lock nut top is the adjustment make sure u use ptfe tape on all the connections that screw in

steve

and vacum line just goes to nipple on fpr from inlet simple

I GOT 1 OF THE CHEAP 1S OFF EBAY BUT IT RUNS SHIT UNLESS ITS ON 48ISH I HAVE 60MM THROTTLE BODY AND BORED MAF THO, IS THAT STILL 2 HIGH OR IS IT BECAUSE THE FPR IS PANTS. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BUYING THAT WEBBER 1 OFF U IF UR NOT USING IT?

well i mite need it yet lol

cant find the gauge so unsure as to adjust now
does the screw need to be at the bottom to be at the lowest pressure or the top?????


its leaking fuel out of where the black alan key bolt is, ive tightend it but stil little bit come out
beginning to loose patience
gonna have another fiddle withit soon

did you use ptfe tape ?


steve

no mate sorry i didnt
didnt know wot it stud for lol

stil shouldnt leak tho out of that alan key bolt

which end should the screw be for the lowest pressure top or bottom?

Polytetrafluoroethylene - ptfe tape

its a thread tape to seal the threads. any plumbers merchants wud have some or places like B&Q

thats the one and it wont seal without ptfe tape or alot!!! of loctite but use the tape


steve

adjust screw goes on the top mate, inside its basicly a diaghram and the vacume line adjusts the pressure as the revs rise
if your goin to get a new gauge make sure its oil filled, they cost more but they will give you a better reading
make sure its high pressure fuel hose, you might need to use a reducer on the return line as its smaller than the in line

gary

gonna grab some tape today and let u know how it goes
cheers guys

would b n q do the tee bar attachments so i can fit the pressure gauge?
do they have to be brass? or wil plastic ones do? prob not i suppose but worth askin lol

get brass and any were that does ptfe tape is cool ur gauge should screw into the fpr unless its a inline one post some pics of it all

steve

the little blue pipe adapters what screwed into the pressure regulator and onto both returns did fit on the pressure gauge, dunno wether that meas anything

just tried it in the black alan key slot, fitted on and did take a reading when it fired up and could see the gauge moving when i turned the pressure down

hopefully just ptfe tape now? lol

yes thats were its ment to go in the fpr and yes u need to use ptfe tape


steve

hia have got the tape
how do i go about fitting it??


its leaking from where the two return pipes go onto the fuel nipples on the regulator
do i just wrap loads of it around the fuel nipples as much as possible??

the tapes for thread not the nipples. if the nipples are leaking its either the wrong size, or too loose, try tightening up juliee clips if u used them.

u put the tape on the male thread going clockwise about 8 wraps wud do it.

but dont do the first 2 rings of the thread so it goes in nice and easy


steve

it wud still go in easy anyway, but dont start too far bk cus it will push all the tape out and look shit. u can cut the excess off but its a pain

did seem to be leakin from where the nipples threaded in, changed the jubilee clips for smallers ones n screwed mega tight
does seem to be leaking no more since put the tape on
trimmed it down so it went on with a lil space from the end
wraped it around about 3/4 times as anymore it were struggling to get it on


does seem to be fine now

went round the block normally n then give it a blast all the way threw first and stil fine

job done me thinks

cheers for the help
save me a lot of money i.e DIY fitment
just prooves it benefits bein a forum member


thanks again guys

your just lucky i was in a good moo this week


top tip buy a fire extinguster and check it every day for a coule days to make sure its all good

steve

Did u end up using the webber regulator in the end? if u didnt i would be well interested in buying it mines playing up like mad but its only a cheap 1 i wanna put the car in for a tune but without a new fully working regulator it seams pointless. let me know if ur interested in selling it i have wonga waiting

goin to keep it mate as a spare, mine doesnt seem to wont to stay the same pressure at the minute

Thats the same problem im having at the moment im forever adjusting it bk dwn it just seams 2 creap up all the time i thought it mite be because i had a cheap1. also dominator told me 2 get a gel filled gauge aswell i dunno if that would make a difference tho

oil filled mate, stops the needle vibrating
how do you mean loosing pressure?
when your driving?, over night?
have you got the vacume attached?
is there a locknut on the adjust screw?

gary

ah yeah oil filled not gel nah the pressure would read 38 - 40 psi the in the space of a few days driving it it would sum times read as high as 60 it seams 2 run ok tho but i do turn it dwn but now its like the needle wont go below 40 unless u flick it lol pure cheap shit i rekon and i was wondering if it would make a difference if i used the wrong size hose from the rail 2 the regulator cuz i just used what came with the regulator.

o and i havnt got the vacume attatched and there is a lock nut which i tighten like a bitch and seams 2 make no difference
