Fuel Pressure Regulator and Guage

[Feedman]

I ordered a B&m Fuel pressure regulator and guage. So tonight I will throwing that on there, and looking it over, b/c I think I have a piping leak, boost isn't building as quickly as I would like....need to retighten all the connections.

Maybe if the weather holds off, a nice wash and a quick wax....

Well see on my energy level tonight.... 8)

Thanks. Hasn't been really problems, just little things I need to work out, I like to think of them as unsolved issues...lol.

Seems to be working ok. I am trying to learn more about high fuel pressure vs low fuel pressure, which is best and why.

Example...high fuel pressure and low vafc settings.
Low fuel pressure and high vafc settings.

lol...when did I say I was better then you ? Just saying if I lived with my parents I could tune.do as much to my car as you do....even more...I dont have a problem with you living with your parents while you are in school, I wasnt knocking you for it...just saying you should have all kinds of money to do things to a car, and more time...I on the other have a wife/kid/house payment/4 cars to support....on one income..I never said anything I had was better or that I was better....but you wanna sit back and say I never work on my own cars....because you do that make you better then me? I didnt say a baby could make an si fast....I said any kid could...him or herself, or if their parents pay for it to be done...and it was my digital camera and I am the one who knew how to work...sorry next time i will get a pic of myself in the engine bay, maybe you can hang it on your wall, or i will even frame one for you....only mod i have not done myself to every car I have owned....clutch...and the supercharger....my 95 GST installed all new gaskets and seals on the turbo/mani...manual boost controller, BOV, intercooler piping...thats pretty much doing a turbo....

if you are not doing anything friday night come on by, and help out with the wiring on the crx...more the merrier...need a lift to work on, let me know we can go to mcclintons... jrchannell22 can use the lift whenever

[superchargedgsr]

and I have not dumped thousands into my car....from what you put on here you had in your car, i am about 1200 below you

lol...I just noticed the sig "Jason...NOT A MECHANIC"

That makes two of us.....lol.... 8)

lol...nice ad to my name haha....I am glad the install went good, all that crap...got in the way of the topic...dont know if you did the same...doubt you did since you were running so lean....i had to read my pressure, then set the regulater back to the stock pressure...but i also have a JR fuel pump...or a walbro with a JR sticker...JR markets as their own

I had a walbro 255 intank pump with 450cc injectors. My pressure was @ 43 psi, before the mod, and after I installed the new Fpr, it was still @ 43 psi. I checked my a/f while driving and it actually hit the red a few times, so I backed off immeditaly, so I upped the pressure and I am running solid again. No just for the timing and fine tuning and I should be golden.... 8)

Adam are you measuring AFR with the stock O2 sensor or do you have a wideband now?

right now its only the stock unit. its almost impossible to get an accurate reading unless you are under WOT. Only then do I have a general idea of hows its running. Green = rich Amber = stoich Red = lean.

A wideband is in my future though.... 8)

right now its only the stock unit. its almost impossible to get an accurate reading unless you are under WOT.

Thats because the ECU is in closed loop mode in light throttle conditions. It constantly changes the AFR to check the cat and to maintain a near stoiciatric(sp) ratio. I can show you on the datalogger sometime. It's pretty cool.

My car goes into open loop mode at about 27% throttle position.

Right, thats why I said that. Hondas are usually around 72% or so.. 8)
