Needed on a turbo.

OK, thats fair enough. How about reg's that rise at a rate greater than 1:1?

Simply overstress the fuel system IMO. The only reason to rise on boost is to keep the differential pressure the same at all times. Rising higher than 1:1 is done purely to overcome fuel deficit issues. If you need more fuel, add bigger injectors. Simple.

Even i understand that statement which is a miracle

Why does someone like Karl Norris run very high boost spikes through standard injectors on his gunship or something ship conversion, if the simple formula is: more boost=more fuel=bigger injectors, not more boost=more fuel=increased fuelling for standard injectors.

eg Pops old 3 door. On standard 4x4, drak blue injectors he took me out and he hit 30 psi for a few hundered rpm. Im pretty sure the limit of standard cossie injectors was 15 - 18 psi at standard fuel pressure. So is the gunship conversion using a rising feul pressure reg that is greater than 1:1? If so, i dont understand why someone would want to do that when you say if you need more fuel, add bigger injectors. Or am i missing something here

If i have got it compeltely wrong i mean in no way to offend Karl or any of his customers or indeed question him or Stu's expertise, but i thought i would ask because i want to know

Correct, at midrange, you have a bigger time frame to squirt fuel into the engine since the rpm is lower ie you can leave the injectors open for a longer period.

At higher rpm this time frame gets shorter and shorter. So if the injectors are too small they wont be able to spray enough fuel in the time fram available.

Just been looking into a 1:1 regulator myself, I want to get rid on my sheepdog for the above reasons, The only one ive found is the FSE AIR004 . Are there any others out there??

It's an FSE reg that I have just removed.

I have fitted a Sard Type-RJ Regulator. It is VERY expensive, but early signs look VERY good.

However, the gearbox didn't agree.

Im not entirely sure about that. If you hadn't have felt sorry for me at work on my own and come back, this wouldn't have happened.
