I have the 2,72 disc and ring in the sfmu with the dark spring and can't get the idle FP below 30psiwith the screw backed all the waaay out.

As far as all the info I've found searching this is supposed to be the right combo and be able to get real low FP. what the EFF am I doing wrong here.

try screwing the bleed valve all the way closed, then try adjusting it.

had some prob, closed the valve, adjusted FP and then opened the valve again.

Stroked 2.2L

Not shure if this is your prob but the return line might be too small to let it go down any further or it might be kinked somewhere.

Okay, I changed the return to a 3/8ths hardline and now I can onlt get the pressure down to 20psi at idle. STFT is obv. -25 but it idles pretty good at 20. I wish I could get it a bit lower. I think I need an safc or some smaller injectors

Other than that the car feels SOOOOO much better now while in boost it's not even funny the difference. At 10 psi it pulls alright and the timing is kinda getting pulled at like 5K but it's still running really rich so...I think theres more power there but I need a better way to control the fuel. I want MSnS.

Blair, switch to the Silver spring and try it. Not sure why you cant get it lower, i was able to on mine.

How are you connecting the SFMU to the fuel rail? 4an from rail to SFMU any chance? I ran mine T'ed of the supply line similer to the factory regulator. That could be why i was able to get mine lower.

Okay, I tried the silver spring and couldn't get anything considered Low ie: less than 30psi

With the dark spring and the 2.4 disc in I'm getting it around 22psi at idle. When I'm driving the car the pressure isn't going up at static it's staying at 22 until i'm boosting which is kinda nice cause there isn't a real problem with the transition like before.

I don't know what else to really do, besides get an safc because I can't get 10-12 psi at idle for some reason. Maybe altitude and other variables come into effect here. Also, I'm only pulling 15Hg at idle but I don't think that should matter much.

Did you tighten the top lock nut with a wrench? I was hand tightening mine for the longest time before I found out it will leak unless its pretty damn tight.

Remove any bleed valve or restrictor that you may have inline with the vacuum line going to the FPR.

i got the same problem right now . i cant get it below 30 either . try yours with the cover off and see waht you get .

check to make sure the boost/vacuum screws are tightened all the way.

I had the same issues, and was dumbfounded for days before i finally checked those screws and the boost screw was a turn or so loose. Tightened it up and it'll drop down to ~10psi now if i want it to.

also, if you're using the bleed valve you need to have a check valve to avoid a vacuum leak.
