Second upping fuel presure is not a band add. Upping fuel presure is something that the car manufactures are doing. Most car makers are now running 3.5 bar and 4 bar fuel presure.
Upping fuel presure is no diffrent than running a larger inj. Once the fuel presure is up you program your computer for this.
4 bar is better than 3 bar because of better fuel atomization which allows you to run leaner mixtures and you get better fuel economy.
Thats fine and all but running 370's at 100% duty cycle then upping the fuel pressure to make them flow a higher cc is asking for issues. Buy some larger injectors from another car to prevent your duty cycle from being way to high then up your fuel pressure if you feel the need to.
No one in any other tuning area dsm's, supras, or even in the honda world would do this. They would buy bigger injectors first then fuck with the fuel pressure. Even if you wanted to get brand name injectors like rc's they usually go for around 100-150 for a used set of 750's.
And the nearest junk yard to me is 2 miles away how is it easier to buy clips when most jyards will GIVE them to you for free?
I have had my fair share of 3,4, and even 500 hp cars and even when I was in the dsm game no one would ever think of risking a motor by trying to do something so stupid as upping the fuel pressure for a better atomization or a few cc's more of flow. They would buy bigger injectors. The biggest reason to get a afpr is to prevent fpr overrun due to a larger flowing fuel pump like a wally 255 or even a bosch 044.
I mean why risk detonation on a motor that's already renowned for cooling and detonation issues? It will cost a lot more to fix a blown motor, or pitted pistons than to run a good fuel system.
I'm not trying to bust your balls miko or start a fight. I just think this whole upping your fuel pressure thing for tuning is madness.
