2.0 16v on ITBs, previously happy with an external 3.5 bar FPR. Now not so happy with a 4 bar FPR in a 1.8T fuel rail. Could having too high a fuel pressure damage electronic injectors? Or am I just being a girl?
Too high a pressure can cause problems, but 4 bar is nowhere near too high. I assume you've altered your fuelling table/settings to account for the extra fuel going in now it's running at a higher fuel pressure?
Not yet, did a trackday last week and it`s eaten all my money! On with fitting an intercooler, and making up a system to listen for knock (knocksensor, lappy and headphones ). Have the timing at 10dbtdc at 15psi which is bound to be killing the power, but I`m paranoid about knock . Once I`m sure it`s not knocking at 15dbtdc or a bit higher I`ll take it for a RR run, interested myself to see how she goes
Just wondering why it needs so much fuel pressure?? My FPR is set at 3bar & the car is still burning a hole in the ozone above Wiltshire (13-15MPG ) Needs leaning out somewhat i reckon!! Booking in soon for a setup with DTA master Steve Greenald, so we'll see where the old girl is at after that!!
Didn't need it per se, it just came with the fuel rail. I've actually just changed it to a 3.5 bar one. Bit of a trek for you to see Mr Greenald? I'm going to be taking mine to him to get set up when it's ready....again.
Well a bit of a trip yeah, but he IS Mr DTA by all accounts so im not going to P*ss about..... All being well, the beast may crack 200BHP when it next goes up to a Stealth RR day... Cant be doing with the K-jet boys beating me
