Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
you can always look at braided lines, not super cheap but will do the job and keep authorities happy.
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
So with lock-down in place in Melbourne work on the Escort has come to a stop for now.
Doesn't mean I can't shop.
So I need a fuel pressure regulator.
I'm leaning towards a TurboSmart FPR800, this one specifically as it includes mounting hardware:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbosmart- ... 0#viTabs_0
I've seen many cheaper FPRs out there but I'm dubious as to their performance in maintaining a consistent fuel pressure throughout the entire range of the engine's requirements.
I'd like other people's opinions & experiences.
Also, I've noticed that there are Type L & Type S FPR configurations. What are the pros/cons of either style.
Thanks.

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
Yeah turbo smart is a good brand. I also heard good things about radium engineering.
http://www.radiumauto.com/DMR-Direct-Mo ... -P909.aspx Something like these.
Also dampers which are often overlooked would be wise to invest in to help keep pressure stable against injector open/close pulses.

And there is also this combo unit containing both reg and damper.

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
Thanks vlad,
FPR+Damper in one is interesting. My plan was to use the standard Camira pump, damper & regulator, but with the upsize in fuel line to 3/8" I'm forced to replace the regulator, otherwise I'd have more than enough confidence in the standard Camira unit as I believe the OEM FPRs are the best options and should only be upgraded if there is a real need to do so.
Nice bit of kit, but a bit more than I wanted to pay for a FPR (AU$417)
I read this pcmhacking thread (viewtopic.php?f=37&t=4110&hilit=regulator) which lead me to the link The1 put up, which is no longer valid but can still be found on Wayback (https://web.archive.org/web/20160731114 ... ifference/) which was my main reason for going with the TurboSmart, and at around the $250 mark I'm hoping it would be the best choice.
Thanks.

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
We run an aem one that has removable jets to tune the reg to pump flow it's cool and very compact
If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem
Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
Still putting together my parts list.
If running 12p on a '808 ECU I believe it's possible to monitor fuel pressure via one of the spare inputs. If so, what pressure sensor would I require?
Thanks.

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
Not much happening here. COVID has pretty much shutdown Melbourne, but that hasn't stopped me collecting bits & pieces for my little project.
So after many months of searching I finally managed to track down & purchase one of VL400's Ignition Modules.
Problem is, the packaging indicates that it configured for a 6 coil wasted spark, and I intend using it on a 4cyl wasted spark configuration.
I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I've just sent a PM to VL400 asking for his assistance, but according to his profile, he last visited this forum exactly 1 year ago today, October 13, 2019, so I'm not confident of a response.
I don't know what I can and/or can't do in setting up the module to suit my requirements. No documentation was provided by the previous owner, so I don't even have a wiring diagram indicating what each of the wires are for or how to use it. That's a problem.
Can anyone help? Does anyone have any literature, documentation or manual that could be emailed to me on the Configuration, and/or usage of the module.
I hate to think that after finally getting my hands on one of these that I couldn't use it.
Thanks everyone.

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort
Thanks.
I've read that thread a few times. VL400 shows images of the software he uses to configure the module, but that's it. Without the appropriate software or the relevant documentation I can't see how I can proceed.
