bbk fuel pressure regulator

Ripon · 03-04-2002, 10:48 PM

Installed this on my 95 vert gt

Do i turn it to the right for more pressure (wanna bump my pressure up to 40ish) or to the left? (basically tighten or loosen)

to increase the pressure, you need to tighten it. however, you should use a fuel pressure gauge when adjusting fuel pressure!

mrbadong is right don't mess with that stuff unless you have a gauge to do it properly. What kind of setup do you have anyway? Based on HP specs you should be able to find a rough # and adjust from there. There is a calculator on this site under "analyzer".

my car is hard starting witht he fuel pressure regulator that i added. So i am guessing it is missing fuel? Hard starting being that it is taking several cranks before the car starts up.

Not sure, you are right, i should have a gauge and i think i am going to deal with that tomorrow. I added a new fuel pump and my car is kicking *** compared to before. I think i may dyno it again to see if it putting up the power it feels like it is cranking out.

Oh well, will see, i am going to the track tomorrow for the first time with my vert 95 gt.

Hoping to have fun with my friends.
