Procharger regulator
 
Does anyone make a regulator that replaces the one procharger supplies.

What Do You Have

What system do you have on what engine with what regulator? Usually a Aeromotive Boost referenced regulator. Aeromotive makes the only ones I have ever used. Different part number between EFI and Carb though i beleive.

There's a company in San Antonio that makes a good one. I'll post the link as soon as I remember it. :)

Send Articfriends a PM. He can turn you on to what you need.

Bell technology regulator......uses a needle valve to do fine tuning . Car Tech is who you are speaking of.
I run this set up myself...crude but works extremely well, Got the info from Articfriends too.

I keep the 2027 Regulators in stock we still use a SX or aeromotive reg in front of the Bell reg. The Bell reg is 245.00

It is a 502mpli m1 set up. I can not get it to reach 65lbs in boost. Even with 40lbs set at idle which is rich.

Have you checked the regulator to make sure that you have the right diaphram? They may have sent one for the 3.5Lb pulley.

I am assuming that you are running 5 lbs of boost.

That being said, if you are going to do it long term the solution that Bryan and Tyler are talking about is better.

What fuel Pump are you using ? Do you have enough flow to make the required fuel preassure desired under BOOST. ONce you know these things , then you can go on from there, ZXXXXX is right , a lot of times the diaphram they send installed is not the one you really need in there. If that is the problem, the long term solution is the Bell Regulator, I waffled around on Fuel preassure issues for half a season before finally do it the right way.....

I am using the Aeromotive black pump with a 3/8" feed line to the regulator, and a 1/2" return line to the tank. We also tried a bunch of differnt disks with no luck.

Line size should be the other way around....Also are you getting full boost signal to the regulator? I amm assuming you have a dedicated line to the FMU....If not do this first and check your boost signal is clear. Are you running a boost guage? how do your plugs looks? If all is good then you have a problem with the FMU sticking or a fuel pump going south. Is this a new install? or is it one on a boat you bought? Who originally set it up? has it ever worked properly?


The fmu procharger uses is junk....they stick and are very unreliable

I bet I got a spare regulator laying around. I dunno if that will solve your problems but might be worth a try. Mine worked. It did stick a little like Bryan said. That was usually to the rich side when I throttled back. Overall my transom stayed pretty clean.

My aeromotive pump got weak and wouldn't achieve 65#. A new pump jumped up to 70# at the same setting.
