ok man....since your runnin larger injectors you have to be carefull about finding the set fuel pressure for them..otherwise they dont function properly....what ya do..is look at the enjector at the top where the clip goes on..there is a bunch of numbers from the manufactuerer...write those down and use your browsers search function..you should find the listing for the injector and the psi or bar with flow rating...enjoy.

ok heres the update. I had to change my set up to stock maf (cuz the n62 might be bad) and 550cc inj. but i'm still using 750cc. do i still tune the fuel pressure for 750cc and tune with my neo for 550cc?

Fuel pressure should be 43 psi without vac to the regulator. There is no difference when using different injectors.

you shure bro?..couse mine recomend 45psi for 350cc flow..and i have seen injectors that run up to 90 psi recomended pressure..so now im confused a bit...this is an area im not to familar with to be honest..can ya broaden this a little for us.

i'm just gonna foul plugs until i get another ecu.i'm running a calum ecu. the more i mess with the afc the more i think you can't tune it. everything i do has no effect on the injectors. i think the ecu is not sending signals to the injectors to lean out.

Did you install it or did Calum? Double check that the jumper is jumped. You are also going to have to make HUGE fuel reductions to get the car to run right.

You have a Calumsult, WTF are you doing messing with an AFC? Have you changed the in and outs for the maf adjustment to what it is now? Even such, youshould toss the afc out and start doing adjustments in the ecu.

And what is the Clumsult tuned for? I think that you have two components fighting each other, especially if the calumsult is looking for a z32 maf and 550's instead of a ka maf and 750's
