anyone who has fitted an FSE valve...

[geesus69]

....to an RS engine (either 172 or 182)

got any pics for me, just so i can see how u rigged it up to the fuel rail and the like

my engine is an early cable throttle type, so i ASSUME (key word here) that it would have had the pressure regulator in the rail (rather than in the tank as im told the newer ones have) so looking for peeps who have fitted one to the ph1 engine if poss, but any pics would help

If you read what he was doing you'd understand he needs one ffs.

Right for a better answer, it goies inline, if you look at waynes thread you can see how he did it.

yeh ive looked and looked and looked again at waynes, but i remembered that he got a 52 reg engine that originally had fbw throttle im sure, he then changed it to cable throttle. so by my understanding he never had a regulator in the rail, or a return hose? whereas im thinking mine will have?

reason is because with the FSE valve came a little adapter that goes in place of the original regulator in the rail, but wayne never used this, is this because of the above?

also, left of the rail is feed, right is return (just so i dont piss fuel everywhere lmao)

He has put it in the supply.

but ive got a valver

earlier RS engines had a regulator in the rail, whereas newer had it in the tank, i have got an early engine that came without a regulator fitted but obviously having a valver i dont have one in the tank. so it was either get a genuine renault regulator or get an FSE regulator

yeh i get how wayne has done it, but thats with a later rail that never had a regulator or a return fitted? if im doing it with the older type rail i will need to fit this 'dummy' regulator and block the return will i not?

basically reading the FSE instructions it looks like i put the main regulator in line (like wayne has done) then fit this dummy regulator and use the pipe off that as my return, block up the original return pipe and job done?

does that sound about right before i go KABOOM lmao

 

[Dan@SJM]

no mate as my fuel rail had a space for a reg but it wasnt fitted.

just try running some fuel into it and if it pours straight out the bottom then you need a regualtor.

guess what, ive got one if that happens

yeh thats what i mean tho, this little 'dummy' regulator will fit where the original regulator was supposed to go and then act as a return if you get me?

sod it i'll just fit it like the destructions say and see what happens lol anyone for a fire damaged 172 engine? lmao

 

[Dan@SJM]

nah mate, some ph1 172s had only a supply fuel line not a return. mine did.

So if there is a space for areg and it wasnt fitted, chances are it never had one from the factory... so it'll need to go how waynes fitted his, not with the dummy reg.

 

[geesus69]

so what has wayne done with the FSE return pipe?

 

[Dan@SJM]

right on the fse you have 4 connectors yea?

1 vacuum, one IN one OUT and a return?

the fuel supply will go into the IN, and then the out will goto the fuel rail, the retrurn will just go on the pipework for the old valver return i belive. kinda hard to work it out without seeing it.

thats what you would have thought wouldnt you!

but it has 3 connections (4th is blocked and is just for using the guage supplied to set up pressure)

has 'high pressure in' 'vacuum' and 'return' :S

am i being thick here or summat? surely if you've got a 'high pressure in' connection you need an 'out' connection to go to the rail?

im textin wayne now lmao
