Can the stock fuel pressure be achieved when using an AEM fuel pressure regulator with dual FB340 pumps?

Default Can the stock fuel pressure be achieved when using an AEM fuel pressure regulator with dual FB340 pumps?

I recently installed a FB hanger with dual FB340 pumps (I am upgrading and going E85). For quick tests, on the stock FPR, my fuel pressure got up to ~80psi (with vacuum line still connected) when running 2 pumps and ~58psi when running 1 pump. As the title says, can the stock fuel pressure be achieved when using an AEM fuel pressure regulator with dual FB340 pumps? Supposedly, the AEM FPR goes down to 20psi, but I assume that is based on using the stock pump.

The AEM regulator comes with 3 different sized orifices. If your fuel pressure is too high you can switch to a larger one to allow more fuel to bypass.

Matt should know all kinds of stuff about fuel pressure these days

I've learned that delsols with 2 bad aeromotive pumps don't have any pressure

To the OP, I would recommend getting a nice FPR like the Weldon or Aeromotive that can adjust to a full range of pressure.

Thanks for the input guys. I would prefer a FPR that mounts in the stock location since I am using mostly stock lines. I ordered an AEM FPR earlier today. So I'll give that a shot (using the large orifice) and see how it goes. If stock fuel pressure cannot be achieved, then I guess I go Aeromotive.

Stock lines and dual 340s? It's really not that much more money to do it properly.

^^^I'll let FullBlown know that the stock line kit option for their FB hanger does not allow for proper setups...

I am using the stock hard lines and not necessarily the stock rubber hoses. For example, I have Aeroquip AN hose and fittings on the feed line (along with a Fuel Lab inline filter). I can go into more details later.

I'm glad to hear you know it all.
