I am a little confused. I read GTR fuel pressure is at 52 psi. Is that at idle or no vaccum? I am adjusting my FPR and I have it set 64 psi no vaccum or 52 psi with vacuum line hookup. Is this correct for HKS FPR?

Thanks,

52 psi while the car is running

With vacuum line connected ?

With engine running, this seems correct. However, I usually would try for about 52psi with vaccum line disconnected. When you connect the line, the pressure should drop to about 42-43psi. Sometimes, aftermarket regulators require some preload on them before they start working so you might have to run a bit more pressure if this is the case. With the line connected, a strong blip of the throttle should result in a quick spike in pressure on the gauge. This means the regulator is working properly and your fuel pumps are installed correctly.

Thanks guys. I tried 52 psi with vacuum line with hks fpr and my air/fuel look just like stock. I bumped it to 60 psi idle with vacuum and it gives me about 10% head room in injector duty cycle which is what I want. I use the AAM adapter and gauge. One can put it on without removing anything which I didn't know, otherwise I would have measured stock fpr pressure.

Will check and report

I know factory is set @ 52, probably for better atomization and fuel efficiency, but why not run at a lower pressure, like 42 psi @ idle? You'll have way more headroom for boosting high.

You won't have enough fuel at 42 psi at idle on ID1000 on E85. The only reason I bump up fuel pressure is to have enough fuel for ID1000 on E85 that was a year ago. Now I have changed to 1100 cc injectors, I bump it down to 52 psi.

If when I upgrade the turbos, I will bump it to 40 psi to get a better idle and like you say, more head room due to the fuel pumps characteristics.
