Stand Alone setup
Any one else running theirs like this? Anthony at FTP told me about using the Reg after the noid(fuel noid has a bypass port) for better pressure management and it makes sense to me.

So then the regulator serves no real purpose? Bc the noid is going to still flow as much as u put to it. Like the regulator is on the return side. To me I do not see how the regulator is even needed in this equation. Just my opinion.

Everything on that inlet side (Everything on right side of regulator) of the regulator should be maintained at pressure. When the noid opens there shouldn't be any pressure drop on that side of the regulator. The return on the regulator manages that.

Does your fuel noid have 3 ports? From the diagram, I see the fuel being pumped straight to the noid, and then being regulated on the return. Maybe I'm just not getting it, and one of the big dogs will chime in

Yes Fuel noid has 3 ports. Inlet, bypass, and outlet to the plate. Bypass flows constant to the regulator.

makes perfect sense to me. with everything working correctly, there's no way the fuel solenoid's bypass-port will under-flow the fuel jet in the nozzle/plate.
to me it's exactly like taking the factory regulator out of the fuel tank and installing an after market regulator after the fuel rail.

The return send excess pressure back to the tank. At least that is how mine works. Whether the outlets are capped or are run to what ever, the return sends excess pressure back to the tank. It doesn't know what's capped or used. The outlets(hell even the inlet) are just holes that are running to the same open chamber. The Valve that adjust pressure is feeding directly into the return at the bottom.

I understand exactly what you're saying. Call me naive, but I've never seen fuel solenoid with a bypass 3rd port. I've seen 3 port nitrous solenoids as I run one myself. Almost sounds like you're running a nitrous solenoid on the fuel side. My fuel solenoid is fed from the regulator and not directly from the pump like you have shown in your diagram. Just my 2 cents.
