fuel regulator

[bruce_rob]

has any one fitted a fuel regulator to there clio, if so wat one did they buy are they easy to set up and is it something i can do my self

[MAXIBOY]

no point on a standard clio in my opinion...

but you can get a nice FSE fuel regulator with a gauge attached likes coops has so its easy to set up.

but would need to be running 200bhp plus to see any advantage unless yours is knackered.

cheers for the addvice well i will be running about 178bhp ish so i may aswell slap one on it wat kind of preassure would i need to be running i want to upgrade the fuel pump too

[MAXIBOY]

i would think at most the standard 3 bar and then anything over that is just down to adjustments while being mapped.
fuel pumps are fine also if in good nick but us turbo boys have upgraded to an evo item as there around the same pressure but deliver more fuel..

[bruce_rob]

sounds good to me is the pump you use from a evo? if so wat one or they all the same

[MAXIBOY]

think there all the same. mate

[bruce_rob]

cool cheers mate just so happens i know someone with a evo who is getting a new pump were is the pump on the clio mate is it near the tank. how hard are the evo pumps to fit. is there anything i need to do

[MAXIBOY]

there in the tank and i think it depends on what year you have as early tanks need dropping to replace later tanks can be done though the floor under the rear seat.
pumps are smaller an need a little adjusting to fit as well as being soldered in to the existing wiring...

but is not hard....

not really mate.

but the kit replaces the valve in the fuel rail and then feeds through the regulator and back into the return fuel line from the regulator. the return line is removed from the fuel rail and where it was is blocked off. unless you can get a cup fuel rail as this already had it missing.

very easy really.

[bruce_rob]

think i get it mate. can you block it off with some fule line and a bolt in the end of it to seal it would that work. nice engine bay wat power you running looks the nuts who done your carbon i want that done

[MAXIBOY]

yeah thats what i did....

works fine. carbon was done buy carbon nut before he stopped trading.
think http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/catalogue.asp?cat=1 are meant to have a set ready for production...

its running 250bhp and 320bhp maps at the moment but looking to get standalone very soon and get closer to 350bhp as well...
