Fuel Pressure Regulator Question - 3800 SC Returnless (Page 1/1)
Akasa FEB 03, 11:21 AM
Hey all!

I'm currently in the process of plumbing my fuel system and am planning on running a Series 3 Returnless fuel rail. Does anyone know if the Corvette / LS Fuel pressure regulator combo will work for this application (I find mixed opinions on this)? How will tuning need to be set up?
This is a brand new rebuild so I can't dyno it to get it dialed in, I need to have the fueling somewhat accurate from the get-go in order to properly break in the engine.

I'm really stuck at this part, and any help would be appreciated!





Thanks!

The fuel pressure needs to rise on boost, this is accomplished via a variable vacuum/pressure signal.

Does this pump have that capability?

I don't believe this regulator does, it's a fixed (constant) 58 PSI unit.

On the single fuel line series III 3800SC the setup is easy. You use a 2 bar rising rate fuel pressure regulator, and the return is made by using a simple T on the return side with the FPR sending excessive pressure back to the tank.
