OK, I'm in the process of installing my aftermarket fuel pressure regulator.
Installation seems pretty straight forward. However, when I come to set it what PSI can I go to? The manual states between 38-44 PSI as standard. Can I increase the PSI over 44, if so to what PSI? Also, what PSI can the standard Fuel Pump cope with? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW: I have a '97 ST with standard injectors, an Injen IS2040 intake, Denso Idridium spark plugs and Magnecor KV85 spark plug wires. |

That is totally incorrect. You absolutely CANNOT tune a car properly by the seat of your pants. Don't even bother trying, you'll just mess it up. The autometer a/f gage is also NOT A TUNING TOOL. You can't use a narrow band O2 sensor to accurately tune the a/f ratio due to the sensors non-linearity. Get the car built, get it running and drive it carefully to a dyno that has a WIDEBAND O2 sensor. There you will be able to correctly and safely tune your car. That is the only way to do it right and its well worth the couple hundred bucks it will cost. |
