Fuel Pressurestaholdn 10-27-2001, 03:42 PM I have installed a CAI, and JWT S3 cams. Do I still have the correct fuel pressure? Does the ECU correct for more air and adjust the pressure or do I need to instal a regulator? If so does the B & M Command flo fit the SR20 or do we need a different regulator (which one?). My air/fuel ratio gauge reads between lean and the top side of rich but never really rides in the rich side. I know this is o.k. but would I benefit from increasing the pressure or would this be a waste of time and money?

The SR20 uses a hot wire MAF and will adjust for additional airflow, unlike the MAP system in Honduhs and some other cars. Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but air/fuel gauges are a total waste of money. They are not sensitive enough for tuning and can even screw with the ECU reading the O2 sensor. I agree with Jason all the way. G-Forces 10-28-2001, 10:20 AM Well, the air/fuel meters/sensors that are worth it are HELLA expensive! I was looking at getting a 5 wire air/fuel meter...$1000. Damn I don't need it that bad. Caribbean NISMO 10-29-2001, 05:11 PM I installed an autometer pro-comp air fuel ratio guage and fuel pressure guage in my P11 this weekend .Whats that about the air/fuel ratio guage screwing with the cars ECU readings. G-Forces 10-29-2001, 05:21 PM Well if I remember correctly you need to tap into the stock O2 sensor to get the reading for the A/F meter right? Apparently when you tap into the wiring harness with a wire you change the reading that the ecu sees...it changes slightly, enough that you probably won't notice a difference but you won't be running at peak performance. I would be better to leave the stock O2 sensors alone and buy another seperate sensor to measure a/f ratios. However the narrow band or 3 wire sensors are not very good for tuning and the 5 wire or wide band sensors are freaking expensive. :( vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
