Default Fuel pressure regulator?

Ok so I finally started working on my ride again. My goal is to fix this running rich/hesitation issue you all prob know about already. Anyhow, I bought new injectors and a fuel pressure regulator. My questions... What is the correct fuel pressure for a jdm b18c? And how do I adjust the B&M fpr? I mean I know how to adjust the fpr, but how do I verify I'm running the right pressure? Do I need a fuel pressure gauge as well? Or can I go by sight, sound, something else?

I don't know the fuel pressure for the b18c, but you should use a gauge.

You need the gauge...

I run between 40 and 50 psi. I think it was at 42 or 46 before I put the turbo on.

hih

Thanks guys. I guess I will pick up the B&M gauge tonight and just put it under my hood for now. Until I turbo the motor I don't see a need for any gauges in the actual car yet. I got the fpr for $53. And the gauge is like $25. Pretty sweet deal I think. How do you feel about the B&M fpr? Good choice?

It's ok. I have that too... I don't like the adjustment on it cause my Neuspeed STB gets right in the way.

I haven't had a major problem with it yet though.

How can I find out the exact fuel pressure for my car? And where does the gauge mount/go?
