Civic - Fuel pressure

[Limbo]

I i got myself a fuel pressure regulator its adjustable, but it didn't come with instructions.
Was wondering what is the standard fuel pressure of a b16a2.

Also what's the highest i can turn up the pressure?

Anyone had much experience with one of these?

re-instal the stock fuel pressure regulator (FPR) and check what your fuel pressure gauge says, then re-instal the new FPR and set it to whatever it was with the stock FPR...

then goto a dyno and do a dyno run and see if your engine is runing too rich or too lean....

bugger i dun have a fuel pressure gauge

[tinkerbell]

no point having an adjustable FPR with out knowing the fuel pressure...

you can get B&M ones for around $50 that bolt onto the top of the fuel filter in the engine bay...

well that's why i'm asking. I was hoping someone in the forums knew what a stock b16a2 fuel pressure was.

[tinkerbell]

about 42PSI

[ECU-MAN]

211 - 260 kPa

cool thanks

[tinkerbell]

211 - 260 kPa

:confused:

is that with vacuum hose connected? that is only 31-37 psi?

it is 40-47 psi according to the factory manual?

[ProECU]

The stock b16a2 FPR is around the 43psi.

[ECU-MAN]

hmmm

1.211 - 260 kPa 2. 275 - 324 kPa 4



4 = Where two readings are given the first is with the pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and second with the hose reconnected.
