Default 2007 R1 Fuel Pressure??????

Guy's I need some more input on this please.
I am installing my 07 R1 motor in my Rhino and I'm running the fuel system thru a 16 gallon fuel cell. I have to buy a high pressure fuel pump and regulator.

Can somebody tell me what size fuel pump I need to use?
Also what should the fuel pressure be at so I can set the regulator?

My motor is stock but with Graves exhaust and a PCIII.

Thanks!!

Your motor should havs a regulator on it. I ran a bosch pump straight to the reg and that was it. I thin the pump is rated at 95 psi.

Well that is good news about the regulator. How can I be 100% sure that it already has one on it? What does it look like?
Is your motor a 07?
Thanks

Mine is an 03. The regulator is on the end of the fuel rail and should be where you hook up the fuel in at. It is circled in red here.

I paid $220 for my bosch pump. That was the best I could find around here. MAKE SHURE youuse a good filter before the pump. It does not take much to plug those things up. I have 2 buddies that pluged theirs up.

That sounds awfully high. A busa runs around 43 psi stock, and on my big motor kits I bump that up to 58 psi...
