I know k2rd used to sell them years ago, internet searches turned up nada. Does anyone have a source?

 

Banzai has a write-up on their site:

http://www.banzai-racing.com/pd_elimination_how-to.htm

It has part numbers which you should be able to locate.

 

Yup, just tap the fuel rail and stick a barbed nipple on there. Simple and cheap.

 

Or you can get fancy and install a 1/4npt to -6AN adapter, I used a 45 degree on my car. The how to on our site just covers the basic elimination.

 

I had totally forgot about this mod.


Is it save to do on a stock ECU/fuel system car? I would love to get rid of it if i can... lowering the risk of an engine fire.



Thanks,

Is it a good reliability mod or just if I'm making more power?

 

No extra power. It's will just be one less part that will potentially fail on you.

 

I have considered having a deletion kit made that fits just like the stock FPD but am unsure how much request there would be for it and if I couldnt do it for around $75.00 a piece I dont think it would be worth it. It would mount just like teh stock FPD but the pulsation dampner would be removed from the equation. If there is enough interest I would look into it.

It says this at the bottom:

"The Aeromotive bypass fuel pressure regulator works to dampen pulsations and create a smooth, stable pressure. That is how it regulates. Given a correct installation, with recommended flow path through the fuel rail and to the regulator, and mounting the regulator close to the fuel rail outlet, there will be no need for any additional “damper”."


It *sounds* like they recommend an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator and some fuel system tuning, but it says for those concerned about adverse affect, so it seems you could try it with on a stock system but there is still a risk.

I'm just speculating, and I'm wondering the same thing, someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

<------- waits for the internet armchair engineering crew to come in and say "oh no, the factory put that there for a reason, it needs to be there!" when in fact it serves little to no useful purpose (when considered against the risk it presents).

 

Well basically if someone says that they have run a deleted FPD on a stock car for a few years without problems, then that is enough for me.



Either way i am planning on going single next winter... so at that point ill have to upgrade my fuel system anyways. My car only has 40 000miles on it, so i am probably getting a little bit too paranoid about things like this.

Yeah, too bad no one took over K2RD. You can get some Sard stuff to accomplish the same thing although it would be more expensive then the one piece K2RD version.

 

Same question. To do the FPD delete does one have to have a FPRegulator of some sort installed?

 

I've been doing it for years on stock and lightly modded FC's without issue, with no aftermarket FPR. On those cars, we can remove the FPD and install a banjo bolt into the fitting. As David will tell you, this is yet another example of FC engineering superiority.

 

i think you meant to type "FD" everytime you wrote "FC" .... rookie mistake

 

Looking at your post count and join date, I think everyone can tell who is the rookie.

Later junior.

If you have any pics of that, I would be interested to see. Thanks.

 

Earl's part number EAR-982306ERL

Installs the same as the barb fitting in out how to.

We have eliminated the PD on numerous stock fuel system cars, without any side effects at all. Some are going on 5-6 years, still no problems.
