Fuel regulator
Fuel regulator psi?
Does anyone know what psi to set a fuel regulator with stock injectors. t3/t4 top mount at 5psi and 9psi at switch?
Re: Fuel regulator psi? (Smokeu)
Fuel Pressure Regulators (FPR) are to be set to 43.5 psi with the vacuum source hose unplugged from it. With the hose plugged in, the regulator should read 36 psi. Aftermarket fuel pumps tend to force an old, tired regulator to run higher pressure. A Walbro 255 lph fuel pump has been shown to consistently run stock FPRs at 43 psi with their vacuum sources plugged in. This will result in a slightly rich condition, which doesn’t affect drivability or performance. It does seem to adversely affect injector life, however.
