Fuel pressure question, need help

hotlavaflow · 01-07-05, 12:14 PM

Ok I've decided to go with AEM for my adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I need to know if I should buy the Honda/Acura AFPR or the Universal AFPR.
Someone help me I need an answer quick.

anybody? c'mon........

does matter as long as adjustable from 30-79 or 0-80 doesnt matter. if you can adjust anywhere around 35-60 you can use it for any application in our car.

What mods are you running that you really need to mess with the fuel?

With all my mods, I ended up having to "lean" out the mixture with the SAFC to put more power to the wheels. With a Stage II chip, you're going to run extremely rich.

hotlavaflow · 01-11-05, 06:10 PM

Really? I'm purchasing the SAFC you had to lean it out? Stage II is coming after the 6-spd conversion.

hotlavaflow · 01-11-05, 06:11 PM

Where did you mount the SAFC? How did you lean out the mixture?

theGodfather · 01-12-05, 04:01 PM

I leaned out the mixture as 15% at peak RPM! Until you are really doing something serious, there is no need to touch fuel. And you only really need a fuel pressure regulator upgrade if you upgrade your fuel pump or something.

I mounted my SAFC below my aftermarket stereo like this:

Well actually I did upgrade my fuel pump. I have a Walbro 255 High pressure fuel pump.

theGodfather · 01-12-05, 04:53 PM

Oh.. ok.. I didn' tknow that. Then definetely should look at a regulator. But you got that fuel pump to deliver extra fuel for what mods?

Like I siad.. with my mods I was still running way too rich.

I didn't really want to say this on the forum because it's been mentioned so many times with no results but I'm working on forced induction. It's going slow though and now my wife is pregnant so REALLY slow. It's in anticipation of that completed project.

I am with "hotlavaflow" on this one, I was planning to do just what he is this spring in anticipation of my type 2 buildup(f. induction also). I am pushing it back because I have to save close to 10k by next fall to attend UTI, but why do you think i am attending UTI...

Get the baby to help!!

Blah, blah blah. No offense, but don't say anything until you have something to show for it.
So many people sit and talk/dream, but few have delivered sucessfully.
