I thought it was supposed to be like 50 something. I'd look up what Honda recommends and adjust it accordingly. I found it in like 5 minutes one time, you can do the same.

I did some searches and they said its normal to be around 39-40psi.

B18C2 gsr obdII, itr cams, stunk2 cam gears, itr headers, aem fuel filter, aftermarket fuel rail (blox i think), aem fuel pressure regulator, stunk2 manifold, aem short ram intake. Stock fuel pump.


I have code p0505 idel air control and P1456 evap emission leak thats why im asking. I smell gas sometime near the rear driver side, near the gas filler side

you can just use the regulator to adjust it to whatever you want. If its stock motor, I'd suggest you leave it where it should be stock around 42psi or so. If its not, then dont mess with it unless you have an wideband or know what you are doing.

The aem fuel rail, regulator, and filter wont change a damn thing... The stock ones are just as good.
