Fitting Malpassi fuel pressure regulator
Hey there!
I got one of these with a set of dellortos that I purchased recently. From what I can tell it is for turbocharged cars (not rising rate though).
Has anyone fitted one. I am assuming I can block off the pipe that is supposed to sense the turbo pressure/boost, and then fuel pressure will just
stay at a constant.
If anyone has a set of instruction, then ye hah!!
thanks
vassy

I can't quite believe that malpassi don't have a website (or that I am too stupid to find it)!!:duh
If anyone has info it would be great.
You would think that the 'ducks nuts' of fuel pressure regulators would have a web site.
Any help appreciated
:jesus

I am running the same one on my car with 48IDA's
I just blocked the outlet that usually goes to the manifold to sence boost pressure and it works fine, do you need to know what pipe goes where too?

That would be great, Dave.
I am assuming that it has one inlet from the side (the single) the two outlets go to dual carbs, and the under side is return to tank??
If you could confirm that would be great.
Also, how did you adjust the pressure?

Looking at your 1st pic, The 2 pipes go to the carbs, the one on the other side is the inlet (there should be arrows showing this, nine does) the one
sticking up is the return to the fuel tank, and the one pointing down on the other side of the diaphram is the pressure one, that needs to be blocked

Thanks Dave. Just checking I've understood (yes mine does have arrows too)
Is it like this (pic)
Is it the one on the far side that needs to be blocked?
thanks again

Hope I'm not Hijacking, but looking at mine does it make any sense that way? Is the small hose in the back of mine the fuel return and therefore is
it the same for yours?
I'm assuming that to fit mine to dual carbs I need to unblock the left hand side and fit the right end piece so that there are two outlets from the
one regulator?
Would that mean that one of the two closest to the camera on your would need to be blocked rather than the lower (which could be the return)? |

Th lowest one you have marked fuel return is the boost pressure on that will be blocked off, the on on the far side is the inlet, the one pointing up
is the return as you have marked it.
