[Mk2] [Turbo] FPR for 400 bhp

Post by Martin F »

Do you need an uprated fuel pressure regulator for 400 bhp or will the standard one work fine ?

Car is a rev 3 turbo. :thumleft:

The link g4 will look after yours which is why you wont have one.

Sorry guys, just read this. My car is still in the process of being built. However I'm aiming for a unstressed 400bhp with room for more much later on.

How does the ecu look after fuel pressure? (Genuine question)

It is not just the stock regulator, it is the fuel pump, fuel flow pipe work. fuel return pipe work, injector rail, so many things need to be right to keep the engine safe. Are you piped up stock or closed head?

I am afraid you're right :clown: - typically the uprated FPRs are adjusted mechanically with no input from the ECU...you set a base fuel pressure at idle, then the FPR (generally) increases fuel pressure in relation to manifold pressure...so more boost = higher fuel pressure.

The stock FPR isn't even adjustable, so I can't see how the Link ECU would ever control fuel pressure.
