I've got the standard fuel mods ie. VR-4 pump, rewired, 510cc injectors, -06AN line from hard line to rail, and NT FPR. I stil have the stock 14b going through the stock IC and a Brode UICP boosting 15lbs. With these mods I'd figure I'd have enough room on my injectors, however I tuned for 0 knock and my duty cycle is close to 95% at the top of third. Fuel injector needs some cleaning? 510s really don't flow much more than the 450s?
 
At 15 psi on a 14b, you should be fine with injectors that big. Especially with the NT FPR, you have a decent bit more avalible fuel flow than you would with 450's and a stock FPR.

However, you say that you are tuning for zero knock... if your motor has some other problem that gives it a propensity to know, then perhaps that is making you richen it up more than necessary? What are your corrections on the SAFC (are you using a SAFC?)? What kind of timing do you get at WOT?

On the other hand, I have seen cars with 550's and 14bs pulling 90% duty cycles on pump gas, so it's not impossible.

Do you have any idea (track times) how fast the car is on pump?

SAFC corrections are close to 0% past 4.5K and -7% at 3K and -11% at 2K. I have the stock MAF hacked with screw all the way out. I get about 20-24 degrees timing past 5K.

It's just odd that I'm maxing out these injectors with the setup that I have. I don't know how fast in the 1/4 I am, but I Racetech'd (accelerometer) it and got somewhere between 210FWHP and 220FWHP.

Are you talking about the non turbo FPR? If you are I have one of those sitting in my garage I should put it on my TSi. Does the non turbo engine run a higher fuel pressure than the turbo? Does it help that much? What PSI should I run with these mods:

3" Turboback Exhaust
Dejon Tool MBC
K&N
Stage 3 TMO chip "No fuel cut"

Thanks.

Just lean it out a little you would notice it running a lot better.

Just do it slowly and watch your EGT if you have one. At full throttle I try to keep my at 800 to 850 c.

You can tell with a logger if you have to much fuel.
with a 1G I run O2 about .86 at 7 to 10 count of knock with timing over 20 degrees.


here how my log look when my car running at it best. 0 knock was really slow.

nowayout - that's amazing that you still get increased timing with those knock counts. My ECU pulls timing if I go much above 4 counts of knock.

->PrOjEcTGS<- - Yes the NT FPR has a base FP a little higher than the stock Turbo FPR. I believe the NT base is somewhere around 43psi and the TFPR is around 38psi.
 
A NT FPR has a 46 psi base, and the stock 1g turbo MT FPR has a 36 psi base.

the secret is low injector pulse, 50 psi base FP w/out VAC, and 780 cc injector, Walboro 255 .


With proper tuning it works perfect.

So what ya are saying is that a NT FPR is better on a turbocar than the stock one..even the 2gs? If so ..should I change on my car since I have 660's and 3KGT pump and S-AFC II to tune in with?I can easily find a NT FPR from either a 1G NT or a 2G NT 2,0L 4G63...is it worth it?
 
The NT FPR is not a rising-rate unit, and as such you'll run out of fuel under boost.

You're seeing this as a need for more fuel up top; at 15psi on the stock regulator your fuel pressure will be around 50psi, but the NT reg will still have you in the mid-40s.

If you want more pressure, consider the B&M hack (see RRE) for the stock regulator, but at any rate you must use a rising-rate regulator, as the ECU maps aren't designed to compensate for a flat-rate regulator.
 
this is great stuff, thanx everyone.

I'd like to add a small amout to it.

Freind up here has 510s, and he runs it with a Frank 3, and big boost,with 0 knock counts. He has a big front mount and some other stuff too, but still, 510s and a Frank 3. So I'd say you have some room left.

He's also run a 12.001 with a small miss all the way down, and no traction. I've seen it, not just some heresay either.
