fuel pressure regulator how much pressure to do run
i am having a fuel pressure regulator put on my 7 tommorrow and i don't know how much pressure to tell the guy to put it at are around. would really help if you could tell me what you run. Thanks in advance

Unless you plan to re-tune, run a base pressure (manifold reference hose disconnected while adjusting) of about 38 psi. Changing the fuel pressure will change your mixture, so you'll want to re-tune the car if you change it.

Max is correct. If you are just adding the regulator but making no other changes, leave the pressure exactly the same as it is now. I believe that the stock RX-7 has 38 PSI fuel pressure at 0 manifold pressure.
I run mine a little lower... at 36 PSI fuel pressure at 0 manifold pressure. You should be using a 1:1 boost compensating regulator.

Does that make sense? So at 0 manifold pressure, that is refered to as base pressure because fuel pressure changes depending on boost.

HDP is correct so to adjust start the car and warm up .When warm pull the vacuum tube from the FPR and plug the hose .Set the fuel pressure to 38 lbs [ I use 40 psi ] ,then reconnect the hose . The vacuum should pull the pressure down to about 32 34 lbs . At boost the pressure will go above 40 psi at the rate of 1 psi boost per 1 psi fuel pressure .

Initially I'm running 24psi at idle, after I have install a walbro fuel pump, I'm getting 30/31psi on idle.
But I'm still experiencing jerks during positive boost. (maybe around 0.1-0.3) I'm very sure is not the ON boost jerk coz it jerk a few times. What could be the reason? Fuel filter just change few mths back.
Some extra information
Exhaust temp, degree celsius
On idle: 400
Normal driving:500-600
Hard Drive:>600 ~ <650

On the other hand, could it be the fuel pump not getting enough voltage?

Fuel Pump Resistor :(
At last, my problem solved.
Did a check at fuel pump wiring voltage. Everything is oke. Last resort was to look at the fuel pump resistor. We are not sure how to check if the resistor is in perfect working condition, so we switch to another resistor. But it didn't solve the problem. So out of curiosity, I did a voltage check on the wire connecting to the resistor. I'm getting about 10v+/-. So I guess this is the culprit. It is not powering enought voltage to the fuel pump resistor.
So I by pass the fuel pump resistor and rewire the fuel pump to get 12v from batt source with a relay.
Violaaaaa, problem solved!!!!
*Solving this problem, I too solved another problem at the same time. See link ->

It is possible to overwhelm the regulator by running a monster pump at boosted voltage with a pinched return line. But just installing a pump isn't going to mess up the fuel pressure.

i have a question here..... i'm running ULTRA rich... like saying air fuel ratio of 8 on high boost . and idle at 11..... basically pretty stock... except the remapped ECU...
is it possible my stock fuel regulator is screwed and my pressure is in full power causing the fuel to be that rich ?

Adjusting Fuel Pressure
Back from the dead... pulling the vacuum hose at idle is this the only way to adjust fuel pressure? The location I have my FPR mounted, it is nearly impossible to remove the vacuum hose without disassembling stuff which I can not do while the car is running. Is there any other way?
