nah i was wondering about your fuel pressure regulator and pump set up and how much pressure you set it at....must be all custom, unless you integrated the stock pressure regulator...

Oh that, lol yea I have a custom fuel pressure regulator, I eliminated the stock fuel pressure regulator and I am running around 34-37psi.

Fuel pump I went with a MSD instead of a Walbro hehe just a personal choice since Walbros are known to be good.

i see...what about a return line? the pump goes to the regulator and that goes to the two fuel rails....is there no return line? how does the pressure effect the pump and regulator

Yes you need to run a return line for sure, and NO the pump goes thru the engine first (primary fuel rail + secondary fuel rail) then goes out of the engine into the regulator and from the regulator returns to the tank.

Its different than a carbed setup, I thought it was the same way as you are putting it but it isn't

Take a look at this picture for reference, I eliminated the Pulsation damper on my engine as they tend to go bad and cause fires I have read

Let me know if you need anything else

Here is a short vid of the engine at idle with the complete exhaust. The fan is louder than the engine

shift light is not setup accordingly right now because I have to sort other things before revving the car a lil high

what brand is it the one you found ? I would recommend autometer products only since thats all I have used and they are very good

I would stick on autometer products. That doesn't look of high quality to me, when u buy stuff like that you end up getting inaccurate readings and thats a no no on rotary
