(turboed) loss of power

Oh, also I've been through that thread many times and it helped my idle a while back. Just still wondering if the base fuel pressure is supposed to be as high as 45psi....

I use an aeromotive adjustable reg with boost signal, 10:1 I believe. Thanks I'll try that!

What fuel pressure regulator are you using?
If you don't use a begi style it will be lean until it goes over atmospheric.
Install injectors.
Flog it for a day for the ecu to somewhat adapt. It will.
Only adjust afm wheel for an ok idle afr.
Adjust FPR so you get 12-12.5 over atmospheric. 13:1 is good approaching.
Thread might have some good tips

took it for a run today adjusting base fuel pressure to 48psi at atmospheric pressure. found same cutoff at 2500rpm approaching atmospheric pressure. tried 30 psi, same thing. 40psi, same thing. tried disconnecting the dme to reset it and same thing. i really think the dme is wigging out and performing the fuel cutoff when i hit atmospheric pressure in the manifold. only question is, how is it that it ran perfectly fine for a week straight?

Try to aim for 12.5:1.
I know with mine it would make boost on the freeway part throttle.

Wind back the timing and get some fuel in there before she blows......

(turboed) loss of power
Running 8psi max on 30lb inj, turbo chip on motronic, lc1 wbO2,adjustable fuel pressure reg set to 48psi when at atmospheric pressure (vac line off). adjusted afm allen screw down and set idle. Car idles perfect, 1st gear is good, 2nd is ok, but as soon as the engine gets into a load at 2500rpm it loses power significantly. My afrs are 13.4 to 14.0 when it starts to lose power (not even boosting yet) so according to the lc1 it should be ok. I'm waiting on my MS setup but i'd like to drive the car gently until I get tuned. Thanks ahead for the help. I have a feeling its my afm adjustment....not too familiar with this adjustment.Tags: None
