Comptech FPR AFR question

Boosted guys, does anyone know off hand what the fuel pressure should be set to on the comptech FPR?

I just hooked up my AFR and Fuel pressure gauges on a mostly stock aside from comptech s/c j32. seeing about 31-32psi on fuel and 14.9-15.0 to 1 AFR.

The pump is an older AEM high pressure I had in a 6th gen accord.

Yes, I read the comptech fpr is not supposed to be adjusted. Just concerned because of all the used parts, plus kit was for auto not 6spd.

You would increase the fuel pressure to richen up the lean spots but would be too rich in other parts of the range.

No problem.
Just curious, how did Jon Bond Performance services work out for you?

The Comptech FPR is a rising rate I believe, so it should increase the fuel pressure as load increases. 15afr is a bit lean for idle, and certainly too lean at WOT. Aim closer to 13afr or even lower at WOT.

Haven't engaged with Jon Bond yet. But, I'm hoping to get it looked at when I get some down time from work.

Thanks Karanx7, I was thinking the same for the 15:1 at idle. I bumped up the pressure about 4 psi to 34 with the vacuum line on, 60 with the line off. Now seems to idle around 14.6-14.8. But, when I push it, the AFR drops way down as low as 10:1 under boost. Which obviously is very rich.

But, to add to the mix I'm not sure the calibration on the sensor is accurate. The previous car it was installed in used to run 100 shot of nitrous. The tuner had claimed the gauge was off as much as 0.3, blaming it on bosch sensors not being as accurate as Denso, In any case, the sensor is several years old and probably could use replacement.

Ordered a replacement wideband sensor. Went to install it and realized I'm an idiot... anyone care to speculate? lol

In nutshell, the car is running a cat and by re-using the stock downstream sensor location, I had inadvertently not considered sensor placement was behind the cat. Anyways, I will be rectifying this as soon as I get a larger drill bit for a pre cat sensor bung.


Yes, I could always use my test pipe, but I drive the car pretty regularly and prefer not to.
