stock fuel pressure


Anyone know what the stock fuel regulator is set at?

On the dyno the other day the car was running rich, i would like to try an adj. fpr before going back. All the adjustable regulators seem to range from around 30-35 to 65-75. Didn't want to put one on yet if the stock one is 30, I wouldn't be able to lean it out for any gains.

lowering the fuel pressure isn't likely to lean you out any (temporarily it will but not long term). the ECM determines the A/F ratio based on o2 sensor readings, so changes to fuel pressure are negated by the ECM by lengthening/shortening injector pulsewidth.

if you are running rich there is another problem; ie miscalibrated mass air meter, faulty o2 sensors or wiring, exhaust leak causing the o2s to read lean, bad tune via chip or piggyback tuner, etc etc.

Check the Codes to find out why you are running lean rather than jacking with the fuel pressure and possibly screwing up your injector spray pattern and atomization. my2cents
