Fuel Pressure Regulator With Jenvey Bodies

[stuRALLYE 5]

Hello everyone,

 

firstly i'm sorry if this has been covered before, I have searched fairly extensively but I cant find the answers i'm looking for so I hoped you could help me out.

 

I'm in the process of getting my 205 up and running with jenvey 45 bodies fitted to a xsara vts engine. The throttle body kit I purchased second hand on here came with a FSE power boost valve for use as a fuel pressure regulator. Now I've heard plenty of bad things about these but if I was to get the pressure it was set at checked would it be of use?

Is there an easy way to use the standard capsule reg?

 

The other question I have is about the vacuum take off on the top of fuel pressure regulator/ FSE pbv. As i have no vacuum take off on my manifold would it be acceptable to T into the pipe running from the vac pump? Or could it be left disconnected?

 

Thanks in advance!

Put the fse on ebay then get one of the std in line reg housings that coiln does it will save you loads of hassle.

Excellent that's the kind of answer I was hoping for! How do I buy one of these housings from colin? Does he have a website?

give him a call, dont think the housing is on his website.

 

Alternatively if you are using a modified original inlet you can use the standard fuel rail and reg.

ok thank you, I'll give him a call tomorrow and see what he says. I'm using a longmans manifold.

 

Any thoughts on the vacuum take off on the reg?

I've got a Weber regulator, fixed at 3psi.

Fuel goes in and out, vacuum isn't connected to anything.

I like that housing in the link above, might get one to tidy things up a bit!

As said, the vac never get's connected unless boosted, The weber remote mounted ones work fine is not the cheapest

Colins is much cheaper, bung a std reg in, job done
