Ever heard of FPR overrun? That's what happens when you have too much fuel pressure and volume and not enough recirculation capacity , it causes the injectors to run much richer than they are supposed to. A higher capacity FPR is an absolute necessity for high powered sports cars. I've also seen FPR failures spike fuel pressure to very high levels , depending on how it fails. And I don't see how keeping an undesirable temperature sensor can hurt performance , instead it would HELP , because the engine would not be forced to run richer than it is supposed to. Fuel temperature often has nothing to do with engine temperature. Given where the fuel lines go under the vehicle , the inclusion of even a 3" exhaust and a large cat can heat up the fuel lines and the fuel inside.
Hold on, I hope I did not come off as arguing or flaming you? I just gave you my opion.

I know that but there is a reason for a FTS sure you would like cool fuel going into the engine but all your doing is tricking the ECU and hot fuel is being delivered right? Unless your running a standalone and you car is tuned for that "trick" it is not wise to run any setup that way. Even Mike Kojima would agree and why he doesn't run that setup in any of his cars.

I think now I understand what you were say, I thought you were talking about a Adjustable FPR and I'm sorry, please disregaurd whta I said in the above posts. :dumbass:

Remember the cause of detonation is not enough fuel or/ and too much heat.

And why there is a relationship between engine and fuel. If the engine is hot the fuel has to run through the engine, right. The unused fuel is put back in the tank thus heating the gas. The hotter the engine gets the hotter the fuel. The Fuel pump and outside temps also affect the gas but not as much as the engine temps.

Outside weather does effect engine temps much more then fuel so when the weather is hot the engine runs hotter which makes the fuel run hotter. Do you understand my logic?
