How do you adjust a fuel pressure regualtor...mine reads 51 and I wanted to turn it down.

 

turn it counterclockwise to lower..keep around 45

More in the range of 38-42, also make sure you adjust without the hose on.

Yes, that brass colored nub .. but uh, wheres your locking nut?

 

Uhh...thats how I got it...came with the car when I bought it..BTW what should I use to turn it?

 

turn it with any pliers, thats what i use...soooo, that thing looks different than mine, the brass thing is looking towards the frnt of the car, and your is looking upwards...so anyway, i dont see that nut where yoiu tighten..looks like a b&m, thats what i have and it doesnt look like that...ok so im shure you have a fuel pressure gauge right?...because if you dont then i dont know what to tell you...oh and by the way...it cool to leave it at 45 maybe even 48, you wont run rich,

edited: i see you have the FPG, thats good, deff. go get a nut because it seems that your missing that...you wont be able to run it until you tighten that nut

 

Yea I have a gauge...

 

wow..your running pretty much 60 psi?...toooo much dude, remember, turn the car on, wait until its warm, remove the vacuum, it should go up 10 psi, so in your case, when vacuum removed, turn the *** counterclockwise, leave it at 45 psi, then put the vacuum hose on, it should read 35 psi...and GET THAT NUT!!!

and walla!!!! your set

who would paint the fuel filter red? yuck

 

Thanks for the help...I know some rice under the hood trying to take care of it....like some parts painted red that should be black. Thanks for the help again.

 

yeah hahaha like my buddys car, it has his radiator hoses and the radiator deposit painted red...hahaha funny, well hope my advice helped...

 

any engine bay shots you want to share?

 

Might be a reuseable filter type, being why it's red. AEM has ones like that.

He doesn't have a stock Fuel rail, as you might, being why it's aiming upward.


Also, that nut you should have on there Keeps the brass fitting in place so your pressure won't change.

 

oh right i just noticed the fuel rail...hhmmm so i didnt know aem makes reusable ones...but that one looked spray-painted

Haha yep, for sometime now, maybe if there were some better pics of the whole filter,
we could tell if it's an AEM, or just a rattle-canned stock filter.


BTW .. to the OP, that tenzo bar, I'd take it out, it's only getting in your way.
You won't notice any difference, it's only a piece of ricey bling.

 

to the OP can you post your mods?...

 

BTW it is an AEM fuel filter..But I have fuel rail, cam gears, header, intake, cat back exhaust. Did you want me to post engine bay pics??

 

shure

 

ok so yeah with those mods i wouldnt pass over 45 psi
