  • 01 LA1 Fuel Pressure Regulator....what pressure?

    What is the pressure supposed to be from the 00+ LA1 FPR? I have heard both 52 and 55 psi? The pressure seems to have a significant effect on the BPCs I am calculating. I want to be dead on on the first crank.

    Thanks

    i have a 99 LA1 and my fuel pressure at the gaue is something around 37-38 at idle and 43-44 with with convertor lockup and speeding up. and about 40 with normal driving. and mines tuned by milzy. found this on another site Factory fuel pressure is 40 psi.

      On my '00 my pressure gauge used to read 48psi at idle and 55psi at WOT. That was basically stock too (no mods that affected the pressure).

        Definately depends on the car i think to...

        I have 01 Impala's at work, 60 psi WOT and 52 at idle. My 2002 Grand AM GT1 I had also concured the same results.

        My 96 3100 FPR in my Beretta I had before I got the AFPR ran around 42 WOT and like 36-37 idle.

          Yes, I've heard similar things. Doesn't seem like we can really nail down one specific pressure for the 3400, but rather that it depends on the car and what FPR it has.

            wow 91BerettaGT, your swap sounds very similar to what I am doing. Do you have a site with details?

              mines a 99 grand am gt if that helps any but like i said before its been tuned by milzy, so i dont if that changes the pressure any.
