just wondering. I've been reading bout problems with b&m's. I've got one that I haven't put in. Im going turbo within the month and was wondering who all's running a stock fuel pressure regulator sucessfully. Im getting hondata w/440 injectors and installing a 255lph intank pump as soon as i sell my nitrous. any input appreciated, tahnks

 

should i sell my b&m and use my stock regulator unmodified, or get an aem or aeroquip. I'd really like to use my stock regulator

 

i use my stock fpr at 10lbs boost with 550s street tuned.

 

Go with an aeromotive

 

I use stock 90 fpr with 450's and 10psi....

 

theres no reason not to go with stock with hondata (as long as you have injectors that can meet your hp goal) Im using 450's, hondata and walbro 255hp

 

I use a stock one. 10 psi, 450 DSM's, chiped ECU using Crome. (stock b16a3 fuel pump too)

No probs.... and there is no reson to spend the $$$ if you don't need to.

Good luck

 

stock fpr, 450's, 7 psi, and no problems in 11,000 miles.

 

So a stock FPR can control the 255 with no problem or does the pressure rise and you just trim the injectors to compensate?

 

I don't have a fp gauge, but i've used the stock regulator w/ my walbro 255 hp in tank for over 10k miles no problems, on the afc hack.

Good luck!~

 

Stock fuel regulator and fuel rail here. Walbro 255 and RC 550's

 

Stock FPR, 450s, walboro & hondata. 10psi

 

stock will do you fine.

 

aem ems & uego, stock fuel rail/ pressure reg, 550's, 255 intank pump

 

johnyquest - did you have to re-tune your afc after the pump install or did you do it all at once? I'm running the hack with stock pump at 9psi. I'm starting to get nervous about my old fuel pump and want to just drop in a 255. sounds like it will work

 

If u are going to swap out the stock one, go w/ aem...

I first did the hack w/o being turbo. The next day, I installed the fuel pump. Or, maybe it was the other way around. The AFC is not somthing that really has to be "tuned" per say, regardless of what people say. You retard the dizzy enough to eliminate all knock, mine had to go half way between the dead on mark and that other mark that hanging out way over in right field. Then, set your afc to somthing like -34 @ 1krpm low throttle, -36 across the rest, and -37 across high throttle. If those settings work for me, they'll work for you. Maybe 1% difference here or there. You just have to learn how your car reacts to changes on the afc. If I go too lean @ idle, my a/f stops bouncing around, meaning the ECU has lost control of the AFR because i've gone too lean, out of it's bounds of adjustment. If I go too lean it will also make the throttle really sensitive and cause the car to buck. If I go to rich, it will bog when I try to gas it real fast. You need to find the happy medium. It's easy.

-Good luck!

 

stock

 

my settings are not really like yours but i do get what your saying. I'm just happy i don't have to waste loot on a stupid looking regulator

 

thanks for all the replies, im just gonna stick with my stock regulator now. Anyone looking for a new b&m?

 

im runin the stock fpr with my jrsc and rc 440's walbro fuel pump and hondata. its wokring nicely so far
