I was curious what fuel pressure everyone is running at with their RS-T setups? I'm not going to be using a RRFPR so I wanted to know what fuel pressure the rest of you non rising rate owners were using? Is 34 pounds a good amount?

i would run a rising rate for sure. you never want to go lean going into boost. i would also set it a 40-45 psi at idle. here is mine.

What kind of engine management are you running?

None yet....i WILL be getting a LINK and RC 550s, but even at WOT my EGTs are fine!

Adam - if you are running 38 psi at idle, and 53 psi at OT with 8 psi of boost, you do not have a 1:1 FPR..you ahve a 2;1...that being said, that is an excellent FPR to use.

N/A: what setup are you planning on running, and how much boost initially? other mods: injectors, engine mgmt....they all play into the picture. Persoanlyl, I'd pick a 2:1 fpr over a piggyback like a SAFC any day, at least with stock injectors.

Z1: Shiv told me it is 1:1 to make it easier to tune with!

Well, that Malpassi is a 1:1, thats for sure. My guess is Adam is reading his fuel pressure at idle (under vacuum) instead of static.

I'm borrowing a friends pc right now. Moving sucks.
Link2, WRX injectors for now switching to a set of larger 550cc injectors later on, the SCC project 2.5RS's turbo kit, GTR fuel pump, dual feed fuel rails, and a SARD FPR. With good enough engine management there should be no need to have a rising rate shouldn't there? I've owned alot of turbo cars before and never had to run a RRFPR before. Just wonder if this is something specific to the RS-T then.
