Ok My husband has finally decided to change his fuel regulator in his car to a adjustable one. He was talking to some Goof ball at work (NOT NAMING NAMES) LOL that person said that he needed a special tool to take off the Fuel regulator. What tool, & How much is it going to cost me?
Plus is there anything else he should know or should have in order to change this. I know hes getting a Gage But is there ANYTHING else.
Hes trying to be as fast & As bad as some of the other 4th gen camaros at the track.

Man this man is getting lucky a brand new sound system, Ordered the last part of it today & the speakers are being picked up tonight. New parts for his car. But in exchange for all that I get the Interior pieces I need for my Pace car lol

 

well.. the tool he talks of is a "Fuel disconnect Tool"
can be picked up for 10 bux at lordco? i'm just guessing the price
but thats what its called

and i don't even think he needs to take the fuel line off.. but it makes it easier i guess

so yea
there you have it

 

No special tool required except to take the fuel rails off you need a fuel line disconnect tool, after that, all that hold the regulator on is a Hex bolt & another hex bolt holding the lines together from rail to trail, take those two off, pop the regulator out & pop the new one in. With new ones ussually you can use the rail connecting bracket & just shove the rail in the regulator & let it just sit there not tied down.

very easy 5 min job once the rail is off which is a 5 min job aswell.

 

matt.. i'm guessing you're at school?

 

have to ask

why bother going to an AFPR as the computer will compensate soon after the install for the increased pressure?

 

If you're maxing out your injector PW then compensating by increasing the fuel pressure is the only way to go if you don't want to swap injectors.

Of course this is assuming she will change the injector constant in the PROM.

 

I suspect it depends on the car - an APFR would have 0 benefit on anything newer than a '94.

 

The car is a 95 Z 28. The car is no longer stock. we have put larger fuel injectors in it, put a functional ram air hood on it. Both put a larger throttle body descreened the MAF, New Exhaust on the car starting with new headers, cat back & muffler.

But with all this hes still not getting Quite enough fuel in to make fast runs. We had this explained to us at the Track last summer.

 

there is NO NEED for an AFPR. I am not running one and I am possibly the fastest LT1 in the area.

What he NEEDS to do is reprogram the car correctly. Not like some whit he works with who never worked on OBD cars

 

When we are at the track in amonth or so Ellis you grab hiim & you tell him PROGRAMMER RIGHT NOW ( he always carries it with him.) & Tell him how to program it RIGHT lol.

 

IF He is using a Hyper tech POS he is lost in him own mind

I only do real tuning

 

lol Hey Ellis you going to be at the Swap meet this weekend???? if you are maybe you can tell him in person on saturday. We will be down there from about 9am to 2pm

at the booth from 9-11

 

Dont call Brent names like that Ellis.
