Stock fuel rail question
 
Im getting ready to install my Begi S4 kit and im kind confused on how to get around my stock fuel pressure regulator. Do i need to buy an aftermarket fuel rail to bypass the FPR. I have an AEM FPR and need some guidance.

Install Megasquirt.

Install better injectors.

Sell AEM FPR.

Profit.

I used the m-tuned rail for mine so I could ditch the fpr because the 044 pump is just way too much for the oem regulator to handle.

What year car is it?

Doing a cheap starter kit on bandaids is one thing... doing a powerful S4 kit that will rip a hole in your block on spool up on the other hand....

'xactly! Don't skip the engine management.

Especially when "not skimping" is like $200. You could put on an MS2 for pocket lint.

I have a 96 with a begi S4 everything done to the bottom end , MSPNP2, rx7 550cc inj, walbro 255lph pump, aem fpr

Miater Feb 19, 2013 03:17 PM

Sell the FPR and be done.

NaBianski Feb 19, 2013 03:20 PM

So stock is good enough? Really? 31 psi of fuel is enough that dosent seem right im going to be pushing 15 psi through a gt2860

PSI is a measure of restriction, not flow. Your 255 liter/hour pump will flow more than enough fuel.

Leafy Feb 19, 2013 03:36 PM

If he's only measuring 31 psi in boost either his measurement is done wrong, or the fpr is broken.

NaBianski Feb 19, 2013 03:42 PM

No sorry guys that fuel measurement is for a stock system stock fpr stock pump and naturall aspiration. So the consensus is to run the 255lph pump and stock fpr the turbo kit is going on now

Miater Feb 19, 2013 03:50 PM

The MS will take care of the rest for you.

triple88a Feb 19, 2013 04:14 PM

I promise you mate, you're not the first one to run 15 psi.

NaBianski Feb 19, 2013 06:16 PM

That is probably idle pressure. IIRC is should bump up to around 45-50 under load.
