fuel pressure regulator question
 
the car is a 1.7L originally a b6 i have bosch 1000cc injectors and a walbro 255 pump i just wanted to no if i would be needing a fuel presure regulator thanks for the help the ecu is a megasquirt pnp thanks guys

yes if u have no fuel pressure regulator then ull have no fuel pressure hope this helps thanks buy

no fuel pressure equals bad ok nobody runs with no fuel pressure because there wont be no force in the fuel and when the injectors they will open nothing will happen because the fuel will just sit there in the tank and if you have a pump stuff happens and then you will have to tell the megasquirt there is zero pressure and then it will run fine

i just would simply like to no if its a good idea to get the m-tuned fuel rail and fuel presure regulator.

i just would simply like to no why you don't have a fpr to begin with.

He's asking whether he'll need an aftermarket FPR, not if he should remove one all together.

I have no idea what the limitations of the stock FPR are though.

Hopefully this helps you:

Actually I think you mean an ADJUSTABLE FPR. And if the OP had bothered to read the FAQ he wouldn't be asking this question. But since I'm nice I'll do all the work for the OP and hold his hand... straight from the FAQ located here:

You do not need to bother with increasing fuel pressure when running engine management. Since you are in full control, you simply need to add larger injectors (which you can now control) and utilize the stock fuel pressure regulator. The money saved on the FMU is money spent on injectors that can support your goals.

As for the m-tuned fuel rail, that is going to depend on how much power you are running... thanks for telling us that btw.

so this one tyme i was all like 'hey i have a questoin and all these guys were all bein jerks and they were sayin shit (its cool yu can swear in here) like go read the faq' and i jus told them to fuck off an left

mtl_miata 05-09-2010 12:59 PM

thanks

Seriously though OP... 1000cc injectors... wtf are your power goals?

Edit: NM found your thread..

Heh.

Ok, in all seriousness, we've had our fun.

To the OP: Normally you won't need an additional fuel pressure regulator if you're running anything like a Megasquirt and have injectors which are properly sized for the application. Just let the stock FPR on the fuel rail do its job.

Now, it's been observed by some that the Walbro 255 is "too much" fuel pump for the stock FPR to accommodate. IOW, it flows so much fuel that the FPR can't bypass enough of it to maintain stock fuel pressure at low load conditions. However, this is typically only a concern when running the stock ECU as, again, ECUs like the MS can be trimmed to accommodate the additional pressure. Just stick a gauge on the fuel rail to make sure that the fuel pressure isn't ridiculously outrageous at idle (100 PSI is probably a bit much) and you should be fine.

And, for the love of Allah, try to use punctuation every now and then.
