Oooooh, just shy. Need 60 psi. 

Out of interest, why?

Because 55psi is too low.

Too low for what? 

Too low for 60psi! Silly!

That's a difference of 5psi. Nosey Parker!

LS1 or similar (I presume)

Need 4.15 bar from the same system.

Possible? 

Worth a call to those useless chavs at Courtney. They sell higher rated fprs, without understanding why it will do 3 parts of shag all in the application they sell it for. Might suit your requirements though

Think you presume right mate   We're back to the cryptic posts

[Kevin Wood]

.. as to whether the pump is man enough, what you need to do is get a FPR set to your desired fuel pressure, connect it to the system and then measure the flow rate out of the return line. Time how long it takes to fill a 5L petrol can, for example.

There are various ways to work out the required flow rate for your engine based on expected power output. Just make sure you've got a sensible margin of flow above that (say 50% or so).

Fuel pipe diameter will have a bearing on flow rate vs pressure

Would the fuel pipes/filter/pump from an early 2004 Monaro do the trick

[biggriffin]

Very criptic,but me think as a few others Ls 1.
Yes would fit with some minor mods,and be easier to transplant it still on front subframe,to gauge what mod needed,to transmission tunnel.

Am I correct in thinking that the pressure marked on the regulator is the pressure of fuel required to open the valve within the regulator?

If so, pop a 5 bar regulator into an Omega fuel rail and see if the fuel pump can deal with it

If it can't, then you need a more potent fuel pump

Oh to add an omega with an Ls1 fitted,was called a clubsport available.downunder.

Sorry to dissappoint you, but the Commodore is only vaguely related to the Omega. The only parts that I know of which are fitted to both cars are the rear wheel bearings. They are the same on both the Commodore and the Omega B estate

[biggriffin]

It bears a simalar resemblance. Part of the floorpan and rear doors,and some other interior trim. Not worth spliting hairs, built by gm tho.

[symes]

reckon you need Moroso pump and regulator- I got little one on rover 70gal per hour iirc

[Doctor Gollum]

If it is available, take the FPR off the new engine and fit it to a V6 Omega. Then if it starts take it for a drive and see if the Omega fuel pump can keep up

Either way your question will be answered
