    CFI Fuel Pressure Regulator

    Does the CFI FPR use a vacuum signal to work? There is no vacuum line on top of it like on a 87-93 Mustang.

    I am wanting to install an adjustable regulator from a Mustang, it is a direct bolt in.

    I don't know whether to:

    a. leave the FPR uncapped (but maybe this will cause a vacuum leak)

    b. cap the FPR (so the FPR will not read vacuum and maybe it will not work properly)

    c. run a vacuum line from the FPR to a vacuum source (but the CFI unit's stock FPR doesn't have a vacuum line to it so maybe this is irrelevant?)

    Anyways, this is my line of thinking.

    I see about 38-40psi at the rails right now.

    Maybe with an adjustable regulator I can raise that to 41-43 and possibly richen the air/fuel mixture . AFR gauge reads lean after 3000rpm at 1/2 throttle. Interestingly enough it evens out at WOT, but ideally would like to see stoich at all throttle positions.

    Any comments welcome, yes I'm still trying to make this CFI aka toilet bowl injection move out of its way.

    If it's adjustable, you shouldn't need to connect the vacuum. Slap it in, adjust by pressure reading and you're done. If you didn't have vacuum referenced fuel pressure before, why'd you need it now either? Unless you're REALLY upping the pressure.

      The only thing is the Kirban regulator I got is from a Mustang and it has a vacuum port on it because the Mustangs use a vacuum reference. I didn't know if capping it off would inhibit the function. But yea the CFI regulator doesn't have a vacuum port on it originally, is why I was asking the above. And ok, since the CFI regulator is not vacuum referenced then I think I will be good to just throw it on, set the pressure, and cap off the vacuum port.

        Is this a return-style system? Is it an aftermarket FPR?

          its a return style, not very different than SEFI honestly. Similar regulator but it lives in the CFI unit itself.

          Somewhere i could swear I saw that CFI regs have a plug on the top that can be removed in order to adjust them. Don't know if thats the case or not, I've never really fooled with CFI cars all that much.
