What is the Correct Fuel Pressure, 2001 Lanos?

Post by BosnianLanos »

Does anyone know what the OEM fuel pressure should be for a Lanos? I'm talking about the pressure of the actual fuel in the lines(in PSI for us Americans, kPa for everyone else!). I've been running an Aeromotive FPR for the last year or so and I just want to know if I've dialed it in right...I forgot to test it before I put in the new regulator.

Currently I have it set to run at about 45 PSI (310 kPa) in idle, and about 52 PSI (360 kPa) under load (vacuum). I set the pressure slightly higher when I'm on nitrous to prevent detonation.

Does anyone know if this is right?

Thanks

Yes, I meant when there is less vacuum, like when the throttle plate is opened.

The OEM FPR adjusts itself to changes in vacuum. The new one has a vacuum line as well that causes a spike in fuel pressure once the throttle is depressed.
