fuel cut is there for a reason. If you want it to stop, then get bigger injectors, and a fuel pump.

For $60 more, you can get an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator kit



from Import Evolution.

That alone helps a lot of DSM'ers with upgraded fuel systems (minus an AFPR that is) with fuel cut. Besides, you'll need it soon enough.

First thing is first though, solve your boost leak issue and get your car up past 4-5K RPMs. Make sure your boost gauge only goes to no more than12-15psi. I suggest turning your boost controller down....
ooops, I'll post this in the other thread

I agree with Jeff. Fuel cut is there for a reason, don't try to ignore the problem and solve it a cheaper way. If you do, most likely you'll end up hurting or breaking something, you have to pay to play... time to pay lol

I agree with you guys. I was just intrigued by this "invention." LOL! I wasnt planning on getting it at all. Just wandering if you guys have heard of it.

1. I was planning on a Walbro 190lph. Would i still need an AFPR?

2. My boost it turned down all the way, and i definitely have boost creep. So i am running somewhere between 10-12 psi. Do you guys think that if i turn it up a little, lets say about 14 psi, would that help out the boost creep? And what about fuel cut?

what do you mean "what about fuel cut?" are you asking what you can do to fix it?? it's relativly an answer within the quesiton fuel cut not gettin enough fuel. walbro 190 or 255, larger injector, a rising rate fpr. if you have any left... may want to look into a SAFCII at this point. it will dramatically help you out

Oh no... i meant will raising my boost help fuel cut? Supposebly most of the time, cars get too much fuel and hit fuel cut. And having an evo3 needs more air flow. (some guy suggested this to me) Not sure if its true or not. I understand gettin injectors, fuel pump, etc. But he said turning it up to 14 psi might help. IS THIS TRUE? I was left a little shocked. I always thought fuel cut was because you dont get enough fuel.

And also, will i need a fpr, if i am just gonna get the Walbro 190lph?

no, fuel cut is when your fuel pump and/or injectors aren't proiding the engine with sufficient fuel. so by upgrading your fuel pump and fuel injectors, you are compensating for that loss. also a new fpr would be a good idea yes, a RR fpr is my suggestion to anybody with a boosted car.

I just thought that, if you had a Walbro 190 lph you wouldnt need a fpr. But for the Walbro 255 you would.

Another question. If i upgrade the fuel pump for now, do you think that will help?
