Default adjusting FPR

how exactly do you adjust your fuel pressure? could you bring up the pressure even though you have stock injectors? also, how would you know if your running too rich or too lean or just right? thanks

adjusting the FPR is pointless unless you're tuning the car, or at least have a wideband to tell you what's going on.

The adjustment method depends upon what regulator you're using. Some use a wrench and a screwdriver, others may use an allen key, etc...

i'd just leave it up to your tuner...unless of course you do have the knowledge to do it yourself.

do you even got a fuel gauge that tells you fuel pressure, if so, turn it one way and check if pressure increases or decreases, damn, how old are you, like 10? This is common sense stuff, if you can't figure that out, find someone who's mechanically inclined and have them show you or at least be there with you while you're wrenching on your car.

Yes, you must remove the vacuum hose before adjusting it.

You need a wide-band O2 sensor and gauge to do it properly.

In most cases yes, the B&M is perfectly sufficient.

your ECU is calculating your pulse width based off a known number of fuel ie 43.5 psi excess fuel pressure will only result in a slight gain in fuel and can eventually overwork your injectors ever notice that your tuner sets your FP before tuning your car and then leaves it alone?
