Default what's the fuel pressure of the 2003 vvt engine?

I got an adjustable fuel pressure regulator a while back and I finally got around to putting it in. Now I can't seem to find what the fuel prssure should be. Any help?

Per the factory manual, within the range of 53-61 PSI under all load conditions (from idle to WOT.)

I believe the nominal pressure is 400 kPa, which is around 58 PSI.

Is it an in tank adjustable fpr? I'm curious to see how that's working on a return less system. Enlighten me.

Using the evap line as a line back to the tank with it moved at the tank to go into the unused return line port on the tank and run a custom tune to compensate for the fact that your fuel pressure now changes based on manifold vacuum rather than stays static.
