87918, Fuel pressure staying the same at 8psi as at 4psi ???
Posted by sike, Jul-12-05 02:03 PM
I don't understand what the problem is here. I was getting about 45~48 psi fuel pressure at 4psi boost, so I jacked up the boost to 8psi, and it doesn't go any higher. I'm running SFMU with the largest disk, short/dark spring, vacuum screw all the way in, bleed screen in tight, boost port is blocked, 24psi idle pressure, and walbro 255. Any ideas?

what injectors are you using? If stock that idle pressure sounds low to me. on stock injectors i run ~49ish at idle.

FYI, it was the fuel pump not pumping enough fuel. It was a walbro 255. Replaced it with a new 255. Dunno if it was simply the prefilter on the pump that is clogged or what, but everything is working now.
