Quick Fuel Technology

I just purchased their Fuel Pressure Regulator with By-pass for my dedicated fuel system for my cheater kit.


http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...38&prmenbr=361

Just wondering if you guys have any experience with their products? I kind of bought it on a whim but it was exactly what I was looking for.

Before I tried running a $20 holley 3 port regulator using a -6AN return and then a -6AN return with a NOS .063 orifice flare jet in the line to restrict flow, both of which netted me 1-2PSI at the solenoid

I thought the pump could be bad, so I used a 3/8 pipe plug and deadheaded the fuel supply to the regulator and saw well over 15 PSI.

I am hoping with this regulator with the bypass that I will see a more accurace fuel pressure reading. I think it will be nice at the track to be able to mess with the nitrous system's fuel pressure without messing with jets.

What do you guys think? Any experience with Quick Fuel products or dedicated fuel systems?

Thanks,

Seth

And here is a picture of the setup at the moment, notice the similarity between the quick fuel regulator and the holley that is in the pic below:

Am I the only one looking at the pics of the 2, seeing that they use all the same external parts and wondering "what would it take to convert the $20 one into the $70 one?"

huh didn't notice that before, but... I know that the Holley has been converted to be a bypass and boost refrenced...

are you running the Holley as a Bypass style?? And it's not boost referenced at all. just dead head into the regulator and Tee off afterwards with your jet somewhere before the solenoid. If not that, tee off before the regulator, but plug the bottom of it, one way or the other. Oh, and "soft" mount the regulator. They don't like the vibration from the chassis.

I don't have one, but I noticed that with the blown studabaker crowd this is the favorite (probably because they're cheap and someone managed to modify one to work at one point).

Even with a .063 jet inline off the regulator as a return my holley blue still didnt make enough fuel pressure, dead headed it made 15 :shrug:
