Now i hit it and it falls to 11.4 ish and then it starts to climb to 12.5-12.8 when it gets in the upper rpm's. So found that the FPR I installed wasn't making the right fuel pressure. CHINA JUNK. At 15psi it was only making 3.75 bar. I can set it to 3 bar with the vac line off. But it should make roughly 4 bar @ 15psi. So I went to Summit Racing last night and bought an Aeromotive FPR. Installed it and now it makes 4 bar fuel pressure @ 15psi. The AF's are better now but still climbing into the low 12's. 12.5 was about the highest. So I bought a new Walbro when I picked up the FPR. So I put that in this morning. I haven't drove it on the highway yet to see, but the small ride I took it still seemed to be climbing into the 12's. I have boost leak checked with intake pipe on and no leaks. I put a new fuel filter in even though it didn't need it. I did all this before the new FPR and pump. So I am running out of ideas. Please help. Any info is appreciated. Thanks guys


o.k. is the setup blow thru? and what maf?

Then maybe I should swap out my JWT ECU for a stock ECU -
in my 162whp daily driver B13 SE-R, that gets nearly 40mpg,
mostly city miles.

Make sure your running 3 bar base fuel pressure on those MSD's.

And 40mpg?!?!? I could only dream of those

22 on highway? Something's off. I get around 30mpg highway and 17mpg city. Basically close to what I was getting pre-turbo. Strange.

The secret to 40mpg is I have no exhaust...4-2-1 to 2.5" piping with no cat or anything back to a greddy muffler. I used to get way worse mileage before I took out the cat and EGR.
