Is the Walbro killing my fuel regulator?

Hi,
Well as far as I can tell, the regulator becomes the governing factor over the flow. So you could have capacity to push 500l/h if you'd like, but if the FPR isn't equipped/set to the correct flow then it wouldn't really make a difference?
Just so you know, I am not a MechHead and am only going by personal logic.
Cheers,
Nik
i think the reasoning is the stock FPR can still flow a bit more fuel before it needs to be replaced... depending on whats happening with the vacuum in the motor. if the FPR is struggling to maintain pressure it will close off the return line to build it up and wait till the fuel pump catches up.

Interesting.
Anyone replace just the fuel pump and notice a difference to the way their car drove immediately?
I remember when Kosti put his in.. without any engine fuel mods, it kinda didn't do much apart from make noise..
without good fuel regs / injectors / rails, the difference wouldn't be that much.. as you still have the same garden hose nozzle but connected to a fire hydrant... (hence the leaks from increased pressure in the hoses..
