fuel pressure and NA tunning questions

Post by mellow65 »

so i know this is a combo of both legacy and 2.5rs but there are some damn smart people over here that know their crap so here it is.

Ok here is what i got. I have 99 RS motor in my 90 legacy running the stock ej22 ecu. I have a cone style filter and header with a 2.25 outlet and a 2.5 all the way back. I also just installed a set of 2000 grind delta cams.

First thing I want to do now that everything is back together is check to make sure I'm not running to lean with all the new air coming in and going out. I have a buddy of mine with a wideband that we are going to throw on it here soon but I am looking for some numbers to work with.

Where should I be checking the ratio, ie WOT, idle, cruising at 2500 or what ever? And what kind of fuel ratio should a NA car be running at those points?

So assuming my ratio is a little lean I have plans of bumping up my fuel pressure to bring it up to par. I know the stock 2.5rs FPR runs about 42.5 in what kind of increments should I step up in? ie 1psi, 5psi, 10psi.

thanks for any info.

I replied to your thread on the USMB. But I'll chime in here too. I don't see you running lean based on the mods you have done.

If you run lean it's because the cone filter is causing the MAF sensor not to read correctly.
