Alright guys need some help with adjusting my tomei fpr.
So ive been working on my s13 sr20det for a few months now and just about finished, but im not sure how too set my fpr. I wanna set it accordingly too my mods which include 810cc injectors, high flow fuel rail, 264 cams, z32maf, gt2871r turbo, fmic and greddy knock off intake manifold. Running a rs enthalpy tune with 2step also. Now with my mods what should I set my fpr too. Can anyone help me out as how and when too set it?

43.5 psi with the vacuum source disconnected from the FPR at idle.
It should drop to 36 or 37 when the vacuum source is hooked back up.

^^Yep... Slightly above stock. I run 850cc injectors & high flow rail- I keep it at about 36-38psi with vacuum. You don't want to go 'too' high because FP goes up with boost; and most tuners base their maps off relatively stock FP for standard injector/cam/turbo combos like yours.

Another thing you may consider is hotwiring your pump to your battery with a relay. You'd be amazed at how flaky the power can be going to a high-flow pump thru existing OEM wiring. I had MAD FP issues on the dyno- hot-wired the pump with relay & it's been rock-solid ever since. Speaking of- you didn't mention which pump you have... I recommend AEM 300lph pump if you don't already have one.

Good catch, I didn't see fuel pump on the list. Hope he has one since the stocker can't even keep up with the stock boost conditions.
