Default High Fuel Pressure.

Speedskater was running about 8psi on a t25 with his 98 tiburon.


Stock injectors, with like 90pis of fuel pressure.


Cylinder 3 injector stuck open, and filled the chamber with fuel, hydrolocking and breaking a rod.

This caused the timing belt to snap.


Just throwing out an exmaple on those using a RRFPR to try and cure fuel problems, for your turbo/super/high nos shoot.

Its a Very bad idea.
Hell, most injectors actually LOSE their capacity and shoot less above 60psi of pressure.

Also. Fuel lines at the pump can at times leak and come off.

I know a few of you are doing it.

And I am loking at you Yuri and you Lobert.

Powers great and all. But you wont be going any place fast when your engine craps out on the highway. And your cell phone is dead.

That really sucks. I think you have prevented a few disasters with this post. I am now planning on going purely with engine management and no adjustable FPR. Thank you Shadohh!
