FSE FITTING GUIDE V6

There are several places you can fit the actual regulator and it all depends on where you want it, the following example is just one place and is only a guide! Firstly we will need to remove the old regulator and fuel lines…the regulator is fitted to the near side of the engine on the end of the fuel rail… its easy to find and fairly easy to remove as its held in place with only 2 bolts.

It looks like this

And it's fitted here (please note new adaptor is already fitted here)

So once you have removed the old regulator the new adaptor simply replaces it with the hose connector facing upwards. The next job is to mount the FSE itself, I found the best place is where mine is as there is a stud just below where the old air intake is mounted so a simple Z bracket will do the job nicely.

Once you have the FSE mounted you just need to pipe it up which is very easy indeed. I will try and keep it as simple as possible so here goes… from the adaptor on the fuel rail to the connector on the side of the FSE…

Then from the inlet pipe to the connector on the bottom of the FSE

job before setup is to reconnect the vac pipes as shown here…

Now give the whole install a good look over and make sure all fuel line clips are tight as we don't want any fuel leaks. Set up is best done with a gauge seen permanently fitted on mine! So start the car and first check for any leaks…if may take a few turns of the key as all the fuel and fuel pressure will have been lost during the install, don't worry if it runs a little rough at this stage we only want to check there are no leaks. Once this has been done and you are sure there are no fuel leaks you can set the FSE up. With the revs at about 2000 rpm  and the  vac pipe off set the gauge to approximately 28psi but bear in mind this is only a guide and to get the car spot on a rolling road is advised. To adjust the pressure take the domed nut off the top of the FSE and loosen off the lock nut…with a flat blade screw driver rotate the adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure and counter clockwise to reduce it. There is no definite rule to what the pressure needs to be on all cars and some cars will require a higher setting than others, if the car feels a little flat try a quick ¼ turn clockwise and see if this helps, if it makes a slight difference for the better give it another ¼ turn. It's best not to go so for that you can't maintain a decent idle! Retighten the lock nut and replace the domed nut and Vac Pipe and off you go.
