Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok got my fuel pump sorted for my Ls1 to Hzj80 cruiser conversion but I can't find a regulator with a fuel return built in to it. Does one exist or is there a trick to use a standard fuel regulator? I have seen a standard Ls1 corvette filter/regulator with a fuel return as it is built for the ls1 but can't source them in Aus which will suck when it's time to replace it.
Any tips?

'T' piece and a malpassisi reg. Cheap regs suck arse worse than elton john's dressing room staff before a show

60 psi is a good starting point.

How do you set up the T-piece??? I got a quote on a malpassi for about $140 good price?

Hey mate, The filter with built in pressure reg is also used on later model commodores AFAIK.

To set up the malpassi, add a t-piece in the line between your fuel pump and injector rail, then from there go into the pressure reg, then from the reg back to the fuel tank.

Is that what you mean with Tpiece? Do you know what model commo has the filter with the regulator in it? I might look in to that.

yep thats it. no not sure which commo sorry. i think vz onwards

Malpassi regs are not good for consitant fuel pressure. Use an Aeromotive or a Sard. You can set them up like the factory with atmospheric reference or MAP reference with a return line but it requires changes in software relative to injector flow rates. Set pressure to 4 Bar.

Not sure what the atmosperic reference or MAP reference does? I have already got the malpassi on order so I hope its not to bad... Probably another silly question but setting the pressure rate. How do I do that or am I going to need a special gauge on the end of the fuel rail to get the right pressure?
