rb25 10-10.5 wot afr question

my rb25 runs good and the afr at wot is around 10-10.5 and i feel like it could be pulling much harder if it wasnt going so rich under boost. i have a walbro 255 pump, stock turbo on stock boost, freddy intake, stock tune, fmic hks ssqv bov vented into atmoshpere. i was told that the walbro pump is pumping out too much for my stock fpr to handle and i was told that if i get an adjustable fpr it would help alot. is this true?

what is the pressure at now in the rail? or do you not know?

if you don't know, setting a static pressure would be a good idea. helps you get consistent readings, dial in the afr a bit, and also prevents fouled plugs / rich idle

Boost leak would be the most obvious cause. And should be the first thing you check before pissing time away changing shit.

well the pressure isn't KILLING you... but a FPR would help..

I guess a better question is, how much timing do you have at full boost under WOT?

ha ya dont get me wrong that 1st gear pull is still pretty strong but i still feel like im losing some power. how would i know that? the timing is set at 15 where it should be?
is it possible that under boost my fuel pump is putting out too much for the stock fpr causing it too go that rich??

you need to find a way to datalog your RB if you want to see if you are losing any power, sounds like the next steps to me since you dont have any vac issues and your afr's seem consistent.

power FC and FC Edit ftw.

Why would his timing at WOT make a difference? He's running a stock ECU and his timing map will be the stock timing map. Then again, OP, did you crack the ECU open to see its not a modded ECU?

Ya its a stock ecu for sure. I think I'm gonna try putting an adjustable fpr on. I'll need it eventually anyways when I start doing more Modding. Can anyone recommend a good fpr?

OP says he's losing power, knock modifies ignition which would in turn result in a loss of power. Pretty elementary actually.

The mere fact you are asking that question casts serious doubt on the worthiness of your input in this thread.

And that automatically means his ignition is the same at WOT and full boost no matter what the knock sensors or ecu say right?

I like the aeromotive drag 13109, there's a ton of options all pretty good.

Nice. What's another good one? I'm liking the nismo and it seems to be pretty common but its kinda pricey
