3.5 build: Fuel-pressure regulator?

I'm going with one of Richies modules for the 6MT swap, and since I'm doing a 3.5 build at the same time he made a suggestion.

Use a fuel-pressure regulator with the 3.2 ecu and bump the fuel pressure up very slighty to accoutn for the 0.3L of extra displacement. Any thoughts here? Kris, 01tl4tl? I know Jcharged is running a little lean on his Oddy ECU which confuses me a bit, maybe coz hes in safe mode, but thought I'd ask.

Not sure if ill use oddy/TL-S, or TL-P ecu yet. I'll have the IMRC working either way I go, just need the A/F ratio to be good so i dont grenade my new engine

Adam, I bought the Aeromotive 13109 for mine.

Also I am using my stock TL-P ECU. Nate is using the Odyssey ECU and leaning out. I have not got the harness yet, should be here next week. What Richie is saying is correct.

Good luck with your 3.5 build. Hope to do this one day, but i doubt it.

Considering the TL and the TL-S use the same one you should be fine. There is enough headroom for NA in the stock unit. You could always buy a aftermarket one for tuning purposes but i dont think its needed. You will need a good tune though

+500 on the tune

Are you talking about the OEM FPR, that the TL and TL-S share it? Do you mean the 3.5 TL-S?

I know that WOT in a 3.2 and WOT in a 6.0 are the same reading on a MAP sensor, so the TL would dump fuel in accordingly set to its 3.2 displacement map and slowly adjust to stoichiometric. But I wasn't sure if the long term fuel trim on the 3.2 ECU's would fully adjust for the extra displacement, I've heard it can like you've said, just want to be absolutely sure. Why is this Nate guy (who is that???) running lean? Also before anyone asks, I will be running an AEM UEGO wideband...install is a secret

Chime back in Kris and bring 01tl4tl with you!

nate is running lean because he has the oddy ecu. If im not mistaken, he has the Cl-s cams, that might have something to do with it.

Im talking about the 3.2 TL-S. The .3 isnt going to max out or FPR. Like i said ours has enough headroom in it to be fine. A tune will lean it out some any way
