DamN! My fuelrails/fuelsetup is mixed up!
Well, i got this EUcar with a Jspec engine. And the big problem is fuel. My engine is constantly flooded.. Ivr checked my injectors also and they dont leak!
I saw in the FSM that the fuel regulator on the secondary rail had a vacum hose and the primary didnt have any vacume hose. But on mine engine its different! The secondary rail has a regulator with a screw and the primary has the vacuum hose.. Is this mixed? (it is stock)...
does the fuelline from the tank connect to the secondary(upper) rail or the primary(lower) rail?
Maybe my fuel hoses are connected wrong! (but the engine does run abit either way)
hmm, again, i dont understand why my engine floods!

I just looked at my fuel rails the other day on my Jspec and compared them to a set of american ones. The Jspec ones are backwards. The pulsation dampner is on the Secondary fuel rail and the Fuel Pressure Regulator is on the Primary rail.
So you have to run the fuel line from the fuel filter into the PD on the Secondary fuel rail. Then to the primary and out the FPR then to the return line.
Remeber the FPR is the last thing in the system before it goes back into the gas tank.
Check your fuel lines. If they are ok then your flooding problem might be your injectors.

I checked my injectors, they didnt leak. 1.
The secondary rail is the upper one ? and the primary the lower one?
2.What is a pulsation dampner?
3. The fuel regulator got a vekuum hose connected?
i dont understand how this **** works.. can someone make a drawing?

Upper long fuel rail is the secondary rail.
Lower short is primary.
Fuel Pressure Regulator should have a vac nipple/hose going to it.
Pulsation Dampner doesn't have a vac nipple on it. It evens out the pulses coming from the injectors opening and closing. Kinda like water hammer.
Do a quick search on the forum for pulsation dampner.

ahh i found it.. its the thing connected to the primary.. the pulsation dampner is connected to primary and fuel inn.. and the pressure sensor to secondary and fuel return.. strange that i dont got any vakuum hose on my FPR.. hmm

and what is the "thing" at the primary rail? it got a vakuum hose but no screw in the center

You still have your parts mixed up. As you were told above, on your J-spec engine the pulsation damper (which has no vac nipple) is mounted on the secondary fuel rail, which is the long onn mounted on the manifold. The fuel pressure regulator (which does have a vac nipple) is mounted on the primary fuel rail, which is the short one mounted on the engine.
You must have a vac line on the FPR or your engine will run lean under boost and blow...

I understand that the FPR is the last component, but I DONT understand what component on my car is the FPR.. The thing on the primary is exactly the same as in the FSM and but the thing on the secondary misses a vakuum hose but got a screw in the center..
I do understand what you mean but isnt it stupid to have it totally opposite on a jspec?
Sure that the thing on the secondary rail isnt a FPR ?

Can you take any Pics of your fuel rail?
Maybe when the Jspec was dropped in they got the rails mixed up. If you have fittings that both have screws at the end of them then something is wrong.

Scroll down and look at the pic the longer rail has a Fuel pressure regulator. One larger nipple for fuel and one smaller nipple for vacuum.

well the one on the primary is with a fuel and vakuum hose without a screw.. the one on the secondary is with fuel hose and a screw but without a vakuum hose.. I need to know where ill connect the fuel inn! I know that the FPR should be the last thing before the return BUT its strange if they change the position of the FPR on a JSpec? it sounds logical to connect feul inn to the primary ...

In the first photo, I can clearly see the FPR with vac line attached at the right hand end of the primary (lower) fuel rail. Your FPR is fine, stop worrying about it.
The second photo is of the pulsation damper, which I assume you took off the secondary (upper) fuel rail.

haha
that is correct, i think ive come to an end to this problem.. Its like you said NZ.. they have changed the position on the pulsation damper and the FPR.. STUPID!! hmm, so when i had the fuel inn to the secondary and out from the primary it was correct :P hrmf..
