How do I adjust my fuel pressure on my regulater what's a good pressure to run
Alrite guys I have a fully built ls Vtec
Full head ported and polished package with aem cam gears and type R cams
Skunk 2 pro series intake manifold
I believe 68mm throttle body
Bdl fuel rail gsr injecters witch I believe are 240cc
Summet fuel pressure gage
Block is b1 blue printed micro polish crank
Acl race barings eagle rods he 10/1 flat top Pistons
So as you can see I need fuel I have walbro 250 fuel pump
My pressure is at about 42ish and If I remove the vacume I can get it to 55
I just want to kno how to adjust the pressure and what injecters to go with I was thinking 550cc or 410
Edlbrock filter and billet lines
Like this I can get 55psi if I conect the line it drops to 42
Stock injecters I beleive what does the screw do and how do I adjust the pressure
Re: How do I ajust my fuel pressure on my regulater what's a good pressure to run
Stock pressure. 42.5 PSI. You don't need higher than that. Get properly sized injectors for your power goals. Also, you're missing an exhaust stud, and a coolant line.
Re: How do I ajust my fuel pressure on my regulater what's a good pressure to run
You need to keep the vacuum line connected to the fpr. If you don't your fuel pressure will drop when you have no vacuum or when in boost. Stock pressure is fine as long as you get properly sized injectors. Don't mess with the fuel pressure once it's tuned or it will through your whole tune off. To up the pressure you just tighten the bolt on top of the fpr.
What are your power goals? What type of fuel are you using e85, 91-93 octane pump gas?

Yea I kno I just started doing extended studs and coolent line?

I run 93 pump gas with 108 octane mix per every 3 gallons
Re: How do I ajust my fuel pressure on my regulater what's a good pressure to run
The correct way to set static fuel pressure is engine running vacuum line disconnected. Set your static or base pressure then reconnect the vacuum line. Till go down as it should in vacuum and raise back up to static pressure at wot no boost and add 1:1 when in boost.
If your asking what's a food base pressure and your trying to adjust that I'm assuming you haven't tuned the car. It needs tone set prior to tuning. 50 is a good base pressure as it gives the injectors better atomization and idle characteristics.

I believe adjusting the fuel pressure without any pressure influence from intake manifold or without the vacuum line connected will give you your "static" fuel pressure. Then with it connected again your pressure will decrease in vacuum and increase in boost. Turbols is recommending a static fuel pressure of 50psi witch would read lower with the vacuum line connected at idle.

I've been doing it without disconnecting the line. So my pressure is actually lower than it should be.
This is correct except if you are making your fuel pressure 43 psi with the vacuum line connected your base pressure is higher than it should be not lower.
