Thats true but odder stuff has happened ya know.

Re: Fuel pressure drops off in boost. :::::::::::::HELP::::::::::::
 

their 550's with the part #on the injector. Even if they were stock injectors the fuel pressure souldnt drop

Re: Fuel pressure drops off in boost. :::::::::::::HELP::::::::::::
 

no, but as the revs climbed, at some stage they'd max out and you'd go lean. i think thats what hes getting at.

You got it Fred.

Re: Fuel pressure drops off in boost. :::::::::::::HELP::::::::::::
 

do you have some logs of duty cycle?

what ecu is this?

Re: Fuel pressure drops off in boost. :::::::::::::HELP::::::::::::
 

yeah it would go lean but the fuel pressure wouldnt drop. It was a P06 with 450's maxed out. :1

Just a thought, some guys where having trouble with the sock on the pump. maybe yours has started?

1, fix the head.
2, put a flow meter on the pump or run the pump and measure what it puts out. This will eliminate the pump for flow problems. like the other guy said 2.2l+ min? search for it.
3, if the pump is good, he only other thing that can be the problem is the return system or fpr

If the injector was leaking it wouldnt go lean, so the only other place for fuel to go is back to the tank or out a line.

pump, return system, or maxing the fuel system enuff that it cant supply enuff flow to create preasure.

Re: Fuel pressure drops off in boost. :::::::::::::HELP::::::::::::
 

it cant be the return line. if that was blocked you would get too much pressure.

it can be the pump, the reg, the feed line, or insufficient supply.

you did say that its not the HP version. you are trying to boost. boost + base + restrictions is what the pump sees. that could be like 90psi or so.

if you have an adjustable reg, pull the return hose off, feed it into a bucket, turn on the system, watch the flow, turn up the pressure, if you see it visibly decrease, then the pump sucks. otherwise its because as the flow through the reg drops off as the injectors open, it isnt restricting flow back to the tank enough.

where are you measuring pressure? my friend had a problem with fuel pressure for quite a while, and he almost sold the car because of it. turned out it was the fuel dampener on the end of the fuel rail that was bad and was causeing his pressure to drop off at the rail in boost. it would drive just fine NA, but when you started to make boost, it would lean out. his also was fine when he had 450s and a stock pump, but started acting up when he dropped in his 680s and walbro. its super simple to change, and you can pick up 4 or 5 at the junkyard.

i dunno about honda dampers, but the mazda ones are just a sprung mini accumulator with a path for the fuel to flow through. i assume the others would be similar. other than blockage, i cant see how they could mess up.
