Hey guys i just got a fuel pressure regulator, and im running it at 25PSI at the moment, do you guys know the stock settings for our engines, and how high I can go up to with MSD ignition/Spark plugs and a CAI. All knowledge accepted

25psi :eek: :eek: That would be very lean and could ruin the engine fast.
Set it to 34psi at idle with the vacuem hose attached and then go to the dyno and tune it on the dyno.

If you're going to do that kind of monkeying on your car, you REALLY need to purchase an FSM.

FSM for US spec 1991 B13 with SR20DE motor

idling - 36psi
engine not running, a few seconds after ignitinos switch is turned ON - 43 PSI

Consider yourself lucky if you haven't damaged your motor yet!

What FP gauge are you running? Brand, fittings, cost?

The FPR is made by Holley, its universal and the gauge reads from 25-65psi, it cost me about $130

did you buy it for turbo or to see if you can gain a hp or two on a N/a

To gain a HP or two N/A, i do feel a difference in the car though.

10whp on a ve. JWT tends to run things a little rich on most his stuff. You need a dyno to tune it but I just went for max power and then slightly richened it a little just to be safe.

Ill do the dyno as soon as i get a couple of more things in the next 2 months.

Are you sure that the guage wasnt hooked up wrong at first, I only say that becuase 25 psi is really low, and if the guage only begins to read at 25 psi than well you get the picture...
