The top right picture is the fuel pressure regulator. You set it there. (Hint, thats what the gauge is for. ;))

The normal fuel pressure is setup without any vacuum hose connected, and set it up for around 38-40 psi. I think thats what stock fuel pressure is.

You adjust it by loosening the top nut and with a hex key screw the bolt in, until you reach your goal.

One thing to remember is that if you adjust the fuelling, you\'ll need to adjust the map on the PFC (I guess you have one fitted).

Hi Barry,
If you drive really carefully to mine you will be ok,just dont put your foot in or go over 3000 rpm.I would set your fuel pressure to around 30psi for starters.
Regards
Carl

30 psi? Unusual, why so low?

Funny as I\'ve recently (Friday) checked mine, as I needed a way of leaning the mad rich idle and fast idle for MOT time. Noticed it was low, as I always thought that Mazda ran at around 38-40psi.

Failed the MOT at over double the allowed limit and the hydrowhatzits went off the scale.

As the PFC is locked down, I couldnt adjust it, to lean it out! I know that I should have taken it back for map correction, but when you work 6 days a week, even getting time off for an MOT is a real headache!

Oh well £45 gone as I wont be able to get the map corrected before the 10 day timescale for a free re-check.

It is partly the porting that makes for rich at idle on your car Danny,but there must certainly be a sensor playing up too.
I can get it through the emmisions at our MOT center next door if you bring it down,and we\'ll see what else is causing all of your richness too.(Apart from working 6 day\'s a week!)
Give me a call during the week and we can book it in for you if you like.

The lower fuel pressure is only to get the car safely to me for you Barry,as long as you stay below 3000 rpm on light throttle you will be ok.

Regards
Carl

Quote from: DRAGON30 psi? Unusual, why so low?


Simply because volume and pressure are two entirely different things,and when you have a bigger pump,you get more volume of fuel than a stock fuel pump.I have suggested to Barry that he drives over at that pressure and we\'ll adjust it once he arrives,bear in mind he is on Base map on apexi,but has many other mods including porting,so he won\'t want fouled plugs.

on the kg braded lines do you have to tighten up the the red to blue fitting to lock the braded line on the connecter or is it sealed
