There is a point when you make less power by being lean and trust me it aint as lean as you might think.




okay well with subaru's there is a small window. from what i have learned atleast.

40~43 psi

Okie What is 40~43 psi in Bar's pressure? i have been chatting to some Guru's and they say the Stock feul pressure is 3 bar so i must up it to 3.5 and leave it at THAT!!!. the last time the car whent for tune up they Adjusted the Feul Pressure but to what im not sure but previosly i have seen the Feul pressure sit at 5 bar at startup will get it sorted....

That is Very valid Piont So increaseing te Feul Pressure change's the Spray Pattern!?!?!. You should NOT be giveing more feul Via you FPR!?!?!

Divide the amount of psi by 14.5037 to get the amount in bar. As stated before, set the fuel pressure to 40-43 psi, and then get a fuel management such as Uberdata, Crome, Crome-Pro, Neptune, etc., etc., and properly tune the fuel and ignition maps.

the car is N/A. Why even bother fuckign with fuel pressure. you're only gonna squeeze out 1hp if you're lucky. go boost or go home.

agreed :y

We Squeezed out 9 Hp (when u N/A you scrtach for every drop of power...)

Well the new car is Turbo so just want to set the FPR then tune with the Managment...

whats with you and FPR's ???
For this "turbo" car , ditch all that get a ecu chipped and some 450's ..you'l thank everyone later

Leave the fuel pressure alone. The only reason you made more power on that NA car (if you even did, which I doubt) is because you got lucky. If you went back on that same NA car and put the fuel pressure back to what it was, and then tuned it with whatever engine management possible, you would see better results.

Adjustable FPR are only needed if your pump/lines flow too much for the stock one to handle, or you want to squeeze a bit more fuel out of your injectors.

Tuning fuel is not really the best way to make power. Gasoline's max power range is in the range of 12-13:1 AFR. This has been confirmed by engineers doing testing on single cylinder engines in controlled environments. Based on some thought on safety factor in regards to combustion chamber conditions one should chose a fuel ratio in that range. Boosted vehicles generally go slightly richer to gain an even larger safety factor but is not necessary really as the same safety factor can be applied via tuning ignition timing. As far as fuel pressure is concerned, I wouldn't worry about better or worse fuel atomization based on pressure. Generally speaking injector companies set fuel atomization to be best at a paticular pressure. In our case it will be in the 3bar area(or 40-45psi).

PS: Carbs will always make less power than EFI because of precision. It's just entirely too ridiculous to design an EFI fuel system for 5000hp engines. The design and manufacturing of the necessary components is just not feasible, so they use carbs as mechanically they are easier to develop and manufacture.

Sorry...check again. You had it good up until the bottom paragraph. Anyone who has every worked with carbs vs. injection on high hp race applications will tell you the same thing...carbs are king when it comes to high rpm fuel atomization. Downside to carbs is slow response time off the line and they can be very picky when it comes to lower rpm tuning and afr's, but when your all-motor car spends most of it's time above say a 5,000 rpm mark, carbs will kill any injection system as far as fuel atomization and power.
