I bought a set of bigger Injectors for my 90 Model GT Mustang and the fuel pressure is way up..i wanna know how to adjust it. I keep tryin to order an Adjustable Fuel Regulator and they keep tryin to sale me one for a Carborator not Fuel Injection. Is there anybody that can help me out with this? Thank You.

Why would your fuel pressure be way up?

Changing the fuel injectors has nothing to do with fuel pressure.

Did you also change the MAF for the proper injector size?

Agree with 04 and would suggest accufab instead.

Kirban makes a good AFPR.


Hopefully you swapped your MAF or got a tune as well to compensate for the larger injectors

sounds like you may have pinched the return line when putting everything back together. you don't need an afpr.

I appreciate the advice that was given..what I did was I took a stock 5.0 HO that i had tuned with vacuum leaks. I was under the impression that the jag off that dyno'd it just added more fuel to compensate for the vacuum leaks that i found during this process, so I pulled the chip. Replaced the intake with a GT40 top and bottom trickflow spacer, SVO heads with 1.6 roller rockers, F303 cam, 70mm throttle body, stock Mass Air Flow....wasnt aware I was supposed to change it to compensate for the Fuel and Air. I bought a MSD Ignition Box 6al will this help hyper-tech coil pack? (Box not installed yet.) So do i just change the Mass Air Flow for the size injectors that i have? And i'll check for the pinched fuel line.
By the way.. How much fuel pressure is too much. It feels like the car should be more responsive..runs good but i think it should be a little more punchy. It used to idle at 38 and now at 43lbs.
And should I go get a new tune for that chip? The dude wanted to charge me another 300 bucks to tune it again. Thanks alot.
