tayjuniour2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I didn't change it mate someone did before I had car was running td04 ect... But that all got removed an it put back to standard so iver want to turn it down or take it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I see what you mean mate, if everything is standard I would put it back down to 2.4bar on the fpr but then your need to know for sure with a air/fuel ratio gauge or rolling road to make sure it's not running lean etc, double check where the ecu is there isn't a fuel cut defender aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tayjuniour2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Its currently runnin 4.1 bar on it atm an there are no garages open till Monday now would be ok to wind it down to 2.4 myself mate cheers Its currently runnin 4.1 bar on it atm an there are no garages open till Monday now would be ok to wind it down to 2.4 myself mate cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Is that 4.1 bar mate with engine running up to temperature Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tayjuniour2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yeh mate that's it when revving an engine to temperature ... There is no running issues or nothing like that no smoke just drinking fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yeah I would say that's running pretty rich, I was adjusting my fuel pressure last night with the Wideband I did go as high as 3.5 bar on mine, this was set at idle with engine warmed up to temp took it for a spin and was getting 10.2 on my Wideband and was like shit that's too rich, if I was you I would set the fuel pressure regulator to 3.1 bar and just drive normal, no boosting etc until you can get it on a rolling road, my fpr is now set around 3.2bar on warm idle and I'm getting good results at WOT (wide open throttle) full boost in other words Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tayjuniour2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm not guns drive it till monday now mate till I can get it set up on rolling road .... What should the ratio be once the fuel an air are right.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/92547-wideband-reading-18-off-boost/?fromsearch=1Have a read of that mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tayjuniour2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Thanks for info mate ill take it to garage Monday an ill report back what's what lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm not sure a everyday garage would know about air/fuel ratios etc the only way mate is a Wideband fitted or a rolling road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Why would you set it at 4.1 bar lol? What was the logic behind that? Like mentioned turn it back to standard at 2.3bar. they run rich enough standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tayjuniour2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 If you read the post I didn't set it to that I didn't Evan fit the thing was the guy before me in not that dumb lol!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tayjuniour2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 anyone no where I can get the standard fuel pressure reg from to save all this hassle an how hard is it to fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Put a wanted post up in the wanted section, if your fpr is not a fake snide keep it and when you go to get her mapped ask the tuner to set it up, might aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tayjuniour2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm not getting it maped mate not looking for big power just guna keep it at stock boost ECT that's why wana fit standard fuel pressure there is just no need for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Undo the bottom screw with a 12mm spanner then with a 10mm spanner twist the top screw as you watch the needle on the gauge drop down to around 2.4 bar then nip the bottom screw back up tight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Why would you set it at 4.1 bar lol? What was the logic behind that? Like mentioned turn it back to standard at 2.3bar. they run rich enough standard.I had mine set to 2.3bar mate on my sard fpr, only to find that at wot the Wideband was reading 16.2 on the gauge, I'm all for advice rob but please explain that, that's running standard ecu and standard boost 0.65bar, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'm not getting it maped mate not looking for big power just guna keep it at stock boost ECT that's why wana fit standard fuel pressure there is just no need for itThe map is not just the power it's the key it will make all your mods come together in perfect harmony and drive much more smoother it will change the whole car it's a waste of a turbo at stock boost man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
