By the way, you know that SARD FPR is NOT a rising rate regulator, it's made to be used in-line with your stock fpr. So if you're going to use that fuel rail, you may consider using an Aeromotive unit or something else that's a rising rate fpr, or you're going to have fuel issues.

E-01 came in the other day



accusump is mocked up, getting SS lines made sometime this week.

decided to go with nistune. me and jordan(ka-t FTW from ka-t.org) are going to tune it.

on a side note.

bought the "Boss hub kit" or whatever.

it doesnt fit my s14. its like i need a half inch thick washer to put on the front to get the hub nut to hold the hub secure. with the hub on with all the airbag and spiral thing out of the way, with the hub nut all the way down the hub has about a half inch of back and forth travel, with a good deal of horizontal play as well (splines too large?)

not sure.. tempted to sell it and buy the momo hub and follow importnut or whatevers guide.

s14 sucks.

where did you hear this? SARD says differently

" This is the Standard Type which is a rising rate regulator unit and can be used in-line with the provided fittings. The item can also be installed in place of the OEM fuel regulator with the proper adapter.

Capable of up to 450hp

200~800kpa range of adjustability

50mm X 96mm Compact design"

Ah, because I tried to use the same set-up you're going with and it did "NOT" work. That FPR looks pretty, it is not adequate, I am telling you the Sard will not give you the adjustment range you're going to want.

Check out my build... it's not that different than what you're doing...

im really sorry to argue with you again on this, but all the research ive done points to SARD being one of the best...

"PSI multiplied by 6.8948 = KPa (Kilopascals)

AEM:1.4 kg/cm2 (bar) + no info138 KPa + no info

Aeromotive A100030-70 PSI2.0 - 4.8 kg/cm2 (bar)206 - 483 KPa

OBX:1.7 - 4.0 kg/cm2 (bar)172 - 400 KPA

HKS:2.0 - 5.0 kg/cm2 (bar)200 - 500 KPa

Nismo/ Tomei:2.0 - 6.0 kg/cm2 (bar)200 - 600KPa

SARD:2.0 - 8.0 kg/cm2 (bar)200 - 800KPa

So basically the SARD has the Highest Fuel Pressure... and for the same price as the Nismo/ Tomei... I see this as a good deal. You also get to pick colors and its easy to relocate."

im reading through your thread right now, and havnt reached the issue yet.

OK kaleo, reached that point of your thread..

what led you to believe the SARD unit was designed to be used inline with the factory FPR?

just curious because your literally the only person ive found who has said such a thing. all other evidence points to the SARD being one of the best adjustable FPRs on the market.

Ok, just trying to pass on useful information for you and others, because I've been through it...take it or leave it, find out for yourself. The Sard does not allow you to set the base pressure, that's why it needs to be used inline with the factory fuel regulator. Other wise I would have used it in my application. If nothing else make sure you also get a gauge so you can monitor the pressure as you're trying to tune it.

im not trying to attack your credibility or anything, i just wanted to know some more info on EXACTLY why yours didnt work.

my good friend is using the same FPR i have on his 450whp rb25 and has had no issues. again, im not trying to attack you, you are simply the only person ive ever talked to that has said this, and i would like some more detailed information on your issues

more information on the E01 and accusump.

i'm interested in putting in an accusump system in my car. where are you mounting the pump and how are you plumbing it into the system? How well is the rebuild running?

Nice build so far.

ive got the oiler located in the back seat where the airbag computer was. its running a 10an line up through the firewall and hits a 10an-8an reducer, which plugs into an 8an-8an tee that feeds into the IN section of the oil block. a check valve on the rear of the tee insures that the pressure is only going into the engine.

ive got it setup like thisoil block out-8an line-oil cooler- 8an line- filter- 8an line- check valve- 8an tee- 8an line- oil block in

what do you want to know about the e01?

Thanks for the accusump information! How much do you have invested into the setup? I'm looking into a system for myself. Might be my Winter 09 build :p

Want have my mounted in the bay though. I've seen someone weld a bracket onto the radiator supports. Looked really good.

As far as the E01. Function primarily. Does it do scramble boost? Different boost setting for different gears?

What all does the screen display. Def. a sweet piece. I want cheap, and simple. Perrin manual boost controller. Does the trick.

filter bracket- 120cooler - 80filter relocation - 403 qt. accusump with Electronic Pressure Control valve- 380check valve - 15all lines and fittings - 85so a little over 700 for the whole setup.

E01standard features include two preset boost levels, a timed over-take boost and compatibility with our Remote Switching System. The data display can view 3 different data channels simultaneously such as boost, RPM or any other channel inputted by the e-manage. The data can be logged up for 3 hours on an SD card while also giving warning set points and peak and hold values.

That's a dope boost controller. Maybe one day.

I'm def. putting in the accusump setup this winter. I just installed a remote oil filter and oil cooler setup. Looks like incorporating the Accusump won't be a problem at all. I'll get it mounted in the bay. May require a custom mount, but nothing complicated.

Look forward to updates.
