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. |

I love that word "absolutely" Why spend that moeny with other mods are needed. Set a basic psi with the autometer help and then go for a full tune on the dyno. But in no means a dyno is needed. I know that there are not linear and will not operate properly at 100% throttle. I am aware of wide band o2 sensors. The aim here is to get to sterio. and be alittle rich, but not too rich and never be to lean Even if 100% rich, so what!  All that will happen is black smoke, hard starts, and lost of HP & Tq and most of all, wastage of gas. My advice also to him is to check his mileage and see if your o2 sensor will need replacing. This will take full advantage in this first step of tuning. This post has been edited by west_minist: Aug 18, 2003 - 8:39 PM |
