I spoke with the guys at RPI, they sold be a regulator and said my engine would run far happier with some decent fuel enrichment via the reg. I havn't fitted it yet, has anyone ? And to what effect ?
Thanks Keith

Yes Keith they do work, offering a cheap method of getting more fuel without expensive ECU mods, TVR 420's etc have them as standard, I've seen a 350i pick up 5 bhp with one fitted. ideally have a rolling road session to fine adjust.

Intresting thing about the fuel enrichment. Did they recomend a type. I've got a regulator on mine with a pinking problem, I wonder if the the enrichment will cure it?

Have you tried cooler NGK plugs to stop the pinking?
B7ECS I think.

If you're that concerned bung it on the rollers and tweak the regulator to get the best compromise for fuel mixture throughout the rev range. Should cost about 50 quid in roller time.

Yes B7ECS are the best they cost £3-50 each and need replacing at about 4,000 miles, I always fit them.
