Fuel Pressure Raised

I recently put a walbro 450 e85 fuel pump in my 33 gtst, i hooked a fuel pressure gauge up after to check everything was still alright and found the pressure at vacuum was 3.5 bar. It has an adjustable regulator on it which looks similar to the nismo ones.

The car was tuned a few years ago at unigroup before i owned it with the basics pfc, 12psi, full exhaust, front mount, bosch 040.

With the pfc hand controller showing 88-90% duty cycle on the injectors at the top end.

So my question is, could the fuel pressure have been bumped up when it was being tuned or is the walbro flowing to much fuel for the reg to keep up with?

There has been a few thread saying it should be fine with it. Has anyone installed one and checked the pressure afterwards?

And will it be fine running at that pressure? will the current tune possible be affected if i do drop the pressure down or should i leave it how it is?

cheers

more than likely they might've bumped up your rail pressure to try and get more out of your injectors...assuming they were stock. the pump can't over run the regulator. Yes the tune will be affected if you drop the pressure down....and yes you should leave it like it is until you upgrade your injectors....then change it back to 3bar.

With such minimal mods (similar to me) then id say you'd be running stock fuel pressure.

This is how you set up for stock, and for your setup is identical to mine so this is what you need to do - take of the small hose vac/boost hose on the FPR, start car (it will idle lumpy) adjust the FPR till your gauge reads 43 psi (make sure the gauge is reading between the FPR and the rail, otherwise the FPR might have a port for a gauge, if so that will do fine)

once you've adjusted to 43 psi then re-attach the boost/vac hose and it should drop to around 34-38 psi and it will rise with the throttle/boost.

Yeah thats what i assumed they had done i will leave it how it is for moment then. cheers

new injectors?

are they standard injectors because otherwise you will need a re-tune with the injectors in. you won't really be able to start you car, the pfc does has self learning modules, and you can tell the pfc that you've changed injectors etc.

Easiest thing to do would be have your tuner install the injectors.

unless you've got a trailer, if not hire one, install them yourself and take to tuners but don't start your car!

on any ECU when you are changing fueling parameters you need to adjust for this in the ECU. if he wants to put injectors in himself thats relatively easy and you can change the fuel injector correction calculation from the hand controller...this will allow him to drive the car to the tuner sedately where he can have a wideband and appropriate tuning equipment hooked up to retune.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
