  • i think my setup is wrong...

    I just got my car all back together and did a test shot and ya know what? the line blew off the fuel press regulator again! I dont know how many times this has happened. I havent even felt the N2O yet. im going to try a metal clamp on it tomorrow.

    How much press is actualy going to the FPR anyways?

    Could my blue thing,in between the two soleniods, be messed up?

    i just dont want to screw up my FPR($70) again.

    Stupid question but you did install the bypass jet in the T fitting, right?

        yeah the bypass jet is in there. i think i found out whats wrong though. i think the second solenoid is not opening, which is putting all the pressure through the nitrous regulator. i think the FPSS is telling it not to open so i have to mess with it.

        does anybody know which way to turn the plug in the FPSS to make the circut close at lower psi?

          If I remember right, to the left made it lower, but I'm not positive there. I would suggest getting a fuel pressure tester from a parts store and check your fuel pressure. I hooked the tester guage in line after the fpss and used an ohm meter to check the voltage from the battery, using the fpss as groung. My idle fuel pressure was around 40psi, so I turned the screw until it no longer read 12V (meaning it was set slightly higher than 40psi) then turned it a tiny bit more. Let me know how things turn out.

              That is odd.
              Most of my vaccum lines are just pushed on.
              Some have a very small zip tie though.
              Yes, make sure both solenoids are working.
              Is there anyway you can post pics of your set up?
              That would really help
