Yes eliminate the crap regulator. Run the adjustable regulator from the return line back to the tank. Problems solved. Mine Broke two months after installing it. Same as you, I went to pull out the fpr and it came apart in my hand.

@mudsling454 3 месяца назад

i installed mine and primed the pump and it was pushing 100 psi so i done the same thing you done . i still havent drove it yet cause the rest of truck isnt done but glad it works thanks

This is a really helpful video, my sniper has been running for about 18 months with no issue but now it appears I've got a low fuel pressure issue, as the AFR leans out to 20+ and the CL comp jumps all the way up from 1% to 50%. Fuel filters are clean and lines are not restricted so this is my next place to look.

So glad I came across this video!! New Sniper installed and tuned by Henson Racing (so I know its right). New aeromotive fuel system with intank pump, inline 10micron filter. Last 3 out of 5 drives she acts like she's running out of gas and dies. Now she never does this (or at least hasn't yet) on the highway, only on city streets. 1st time big backfire (sounded like thru the carb) then sputtered and died. let her sit 2-3 mins fired right up. Next time, just sputtered along and died. Tried to start her up right away and no go. let her sit a min or two and fires right up and drives fine. same on the third time she's done this. I'm gonna run a data log on my next outing and see what I find. At least I know some thing s to start with. Thanks again for the video!

1) Truck is badass and sounds good. 2) I believe this is my issue. I also have a black powder coated unit and ever since first startup it didn't want to take fuel well and have to rev slowly. Erratic fuel pressure at time. I have opted for the holley filter/regulator setup (corvette filter style with 58 bypass) just with 6AN fittings. I really hope this does the trick. Also, can't remember if I checked back of unit for vac caps on booster port, ran to intake.

@ronskopitz2360 Год назад

I have had consistent high pressure (~69 psi) on my Sniper 2300 since I installed it. I pulled the regulator diaphragm and cleaned the screen, etc. Plus, it makes this godawful whine/squeal when priming and sometimes when running, which Holley says is “regrettable, but normal”. Came here wondering if it would work to pull the diaphragm and go with an external regulator, so THANK YOU for posting this!!!

@troykane Год назад

Yes I would try an external regulator. Remove the internal one first. Good Luck

@ronskopitz2360 Год назад

@@troykane external regulator ordered! this is for a cammed, bored, and stroked Chevy 2.8L (now a .030 over 3.1). Been getting 6 MPG!! Measured AFR is reading a full point higher than what’s in the table, and Holley thinks it’s overfueling due to excessive pressure. We’ll see! Looks like even the 2-bbl, 2-injector 2300 is too big for my 194 cu inches of fury!! 😂 Thanks again for the info!!!

My fuel pressure is down to 20 psi, my VE numbers are going way up into the 200s at WOT. I checked and it’s low, time to remove it and use an external regulator.

@mikefarrell2333 10 месяцев назад

On the regulator, with that AN adaptor (Edelbrock Russell 670343 Fuel Pressure Take Off), that line goes back to the fuel take - so you essentially converted it from a RETURNLESS to a RETURN system?

@troykane 10 месяцев назад

Exactly! You got it.

@mopster1913 11 месяцев назад

Do you see a problem with not running a return line with the sniper 2 with a returnless edelbrock sump pump? I will be putting turbo on and figured the boost reference internal regulator on edelbrock sump pump would take care of everything. ..?

@troykane 11 месяцев назад

Yes I do. My own experience with a boosted vehicle, is you need a return line. The reason is the pump with the built in bypass cannot react quickly enough to the fuel demands of a boosted engine. So use the same pump (I did) and install a boost reference regualator to the return side and run a return fuel line. You'll be amazed at the difference in performance. Good Luck

@gregbrooks1138 Год назад

I just tried putting the Sniper on my 66' GTO after having the engine rebuilt. I used an internal fuel pump with the new fuel tank. I have great pressure at the tank but only getting about 5 PSI at the Sniper. I am miffed at this point. Blew out the fuel lines and did every thing I could think of. I finally put the old carb on there so I could go to Cruise the Coast in Biloxi. I've talked to Holley experts about 3 times and they blame the fuel pump, the fuel pump experts tell me the line is blocked. I will worry about after the I have my fun at CTC.

@troykane Год назад

Are you running an in line fuel filter between the pump and the tank? That could be the problem. If not try to cap the return line and see what you have for pressure. Is your in tank fuel pump regulated? A few things to check. Hope this helps.

@cminteriorcustoms3652 Год назад

@TheEvilTwinCG2 Год назад

I have a question. I have a turbocharge 98 Honda accord, engine is fresh rebuilt, same as turbo kit. After 300 miles my cheap Amazon fuel pressure sensor gave up on me. Is it still safe to drive on small road for errands as long as I stay under boost? The new sensor won’t be here until the weekend. Fuel pressure was set at 50psi but I’m only getting 27.5+- psi. The cel will pop up if I go above 3500rpm. Car starts up normal, idles normal, and drives normal under boost.

@troykane Год назад

I would buy a quality part. And wait for it to be delivered. An improper fuel mixture in a new engine can equal big trouble and lost $$$$

@frankosauto Год назад

Great video... My problem is it wont hold the pressure once primed! So I hit the key, it primes up to 60 psi then goes to 20 so then when I crank it, it won't start! just crank crank cranks. If I go to the return side at the firewall mounted regulator and kink the hose it will build 100 psi and start.... then I unkink the hose! at this point runs and perfect fuel pressure.... Tried another regulator and same issue!

@troykane Год назад

Have you tried to adjust the regulator?

@frankosauto Год назад

@@troykane Yes Sir I have... fuel pump in a Tanks Inc Tank up to the filter then up to reg. then out of reg to sniper unit on rear drivers port. return off bottom of reg. and rear passenger is capped.... also inspected screen was clear since not used I left it out!

@troykane Год назад

Ok, this is my set up. From the in tank holley pump. To the inline fuel filter. From the inline filter to the drivers side rear of the sniper, with a pressure gauge installed at the inlet. I removed the Holley regulator from the throttle body on the passengers side. Connected my return line from the sniper return to the boost regulator. Then from the boost regulator back to the tank return line. The vacuum line on the regulator goes to manifold vacuum. Then adjust your fuel pressure at the remote regulator. This works for me me. It should work for you. Good Luck.

@pipelinesalvatoregiordano4954 Год назад

What linkage did you run on the holly the factory is a 1to 1 ratio for the secondary. Or there is a progressive linkage out that. I just saw came across your first install of this set up and was wondering why you didn't run a return then?

@troykane Год назад

I'm running stock linkage. I had plumb no return because of Holley said I wouldn't need one with the In Tank Pump. However, to run the Boost Reference Regulator I had to go to a return line system.

@pipelinesalvatoregiordano4954 Год назад

Ah I wasn't under the impression that any Holly set up would be return less only the Fi tech fuel set up can be cus of there surge pump.set up

@Dragooadventuretales 5 месяцев назад

@johnc.wunscheljr2873 Год назад

I put my adjustable fuel regulator before the sniper. It works . I still have the diaphragm in it. should I remove it??. I had problems with it from the start . Holley said they were back ordered and did not know when the part would be available. thanks Holley you know this part is bad. Should I put the regulator on the return side like you did?

@troykane Год назад

Remove the diaphram (regulator) and place the external regulator on the return side. With the factory regulator in the throttle body, it's limiting the adjustability of the external regulator.

@johnc.wunscheljr2873 Год назад

By moving the adjustable regulator to the return side will that set the psi to 58 returning to the tank and 58 psi to the inlet also? I have 2 tanks and the valve to switch tanks is like the one on my f250. Some times the return dose not switch and it will over fill the back tank. I hope by lowering the return side it will make the switch work right. I had problems with the sniper at first it would backfire. I was getting false spark from wires crossed. It was solved by bending the gray wire in a uturn and twisting it and the false spark quit . There was no video at the time to go by . I wish I had watched yours great idea keeping it separate like you did . Thankyou for the help your videos are great. John Wunschel Placerville ca aka Old Hangtown ca @@troykane

Not sure if im having a fuel or ignition issue but my problem is When i drive for a few minutes my air to fuel ratio is around 13 to 14 then goes straight to 35 and dies and i cant start it for like 30 min then it will fire right back up and drive for another 5 to 10 min and repeat any ideas?

@troykane 11 месяцев назад

So it's going lean. You need to find out why. Are you getting ample fuel supply? Is the fuel supply continuous and steady. That what i would check first.

@herbgoodw9421 Год назад

Hi everyone, I am having a similar problem with my Sniper unit. My Sniper unit has less than 500 miles on it. My car ran fine for a couple of months. Since then, it's been really acting weird. In a nutshell, my car idles fine up to about 170 degrees on the Sniper handheld. The fuel pressure is good around 60PSI. Then all of a sudden, it drops to around 25PSI and stalls. I can't get it cranked up for days. I checked the Sniper regulator screen and it actually looks clean. Anyone have any ideas on this? Is there a way to actually test the fuel pressure regulator? Thanks.

@troykane Год назад

Check the coolant temp sensor. Make sure it's reading the correct temp. This will have an effect on how the system works.

@babyboydreyden Год назад

So my question is . I have the Holley stealth sniper 4150 and it sounds like it’s pulsating in the exhaust as I punch on the throttle . It’ll go away for a bit at a nice drive then it’s back at low rpm

@troykane Год назад

That I have not heard of. I would check your fuel pressure before, during and after to see if that may be the problem. Good Luck

@mikeydejon2148 9 месяцев назад

I bought 85 corvette with Holley sniper efi. Person I bought it from says they never changed the fuel pump in tank. It did have tune port injection I find those run around 38 to 42 psi. I ordered a 100 psi fuel pump. My car dies out on light acceleration. If I stop to fast it’ll kinda choke out and die. So I’m hoping this is case just not enough pressure. Any input would be appreciated nice video

@mikeydejon2148 9 месяцев назад

Also when I put to floor at idle my air/fuel goes up to 19 I figured that’s pretty lean

@troykane 9 месяцев назад

@derekhogle6186 Год назад

I also had the same issue. Only it was my fault, it was before I put the proper fuel filter on. The screen inside of the pressure regulator clogged up. Mine also got damaged after removal, so I suggest having a backup on hand.

@lynnh7694 11 месяцев назад

Your running two fuel pressure regulators? One in the tank and one on the back of the Sniper unit. Is that standard?

@troykane 11 месяцев назад

No it just happened that way. I thought the tank regulator would be responsive enough, but it was not. So I added the boost reference regulator.

@Rick-Williams59 Год назад

I can tell you this, Holley external fuel pump that came with my Sniper was shit, left me on the side of I-40, got another, left me down again, so the 3rd time I got the in-tank pump with the internal regulator on the pump. Now I really don't trust it to go out of town. When it runs, it's excellent. I really don't want to go back to the quadrajet, but if I can't find a fuel pump that I can trust I will have no alterative. Again, real loud, Holley fuel pumps suck. I'm open to suggestions on a fuel pump brand that is trustworthy that will feed my Sniper.
