What's up guys, well I have a pretty much stock s14 SR with a few bolt ons but I can't seem to figure out why my car gets such crappy gas mileage.

How can I go about getting a "tune" for what my car has.

S14 SR
HKS actuator @ 11.5psi
FMIC w/ HKS ssqv Bov (non recirc)
AEM air filter
Z32 TT fuel filter
Walboro 255 Fuel Pump
3" from elbow back

I don't plan on moding my engine any more than it is but do I really have to have my stock ECU chipped just to get it to acknowledge those few mods?

I guess I'm wondering what my options are to get my engine working properly and better without having to get something extremely expensive.


Thanks guys

make sure you fuel pressure is set to stock. You need an adjustable regulator to adjust.

I suppose I could try that. Thought I would only needed one of those if you were running crazy mods such ass higher injectors or a bigger turbo or more air flow.

High flow fuel pump. That tells you already right there, that the flow is not same, more flow will create more pressure.
Check FSM how to adjust fuel pressure.

Stop using Justin's account, dummy. You don't even have your S14 anymore.

@around 18in vacuum supplied to fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure should be around 34psi
@0in vacuum = 44psi

NEVER set FP with the vac line on... every car will pull slightly different vacuum, so you need to check it with the line off... 43.5psig

You replaced to o2 sensor yet? If you're having shitty gas mileage and you're not dropping your lead foot on it, I'd try that first.
