Default Whats the easiest way to set a fuel pressure safety switch?

Yeah I was wondering what is the easiest way to set a fuel pressure safety switch? Mine came preset at 35. I would like to set it at 48. Any help would be great.

You can use an air comp and an ohm meter to set pressure where you want.

What does the FPSS come set at in the NX GenX-2 kit? And what is the best way to adjust this switch so that the cut-off point is not too far off from what a "good" fuel pressure is? Any help is appreciated.

Pull the plug on the end, then, with an allen head turn clockwise to raise pressure or set-point. Turn counterclockwise to lower pressure or set-point. If you use a air comp you can use the comp regulator and gauge to dial in the pressure you want. If you don't know what your fuel pressure is at highest demand, just set FPSS at 50psi. It's really there for pump failure, however, if your running a fuel gauge you would know what the pressure falls to at highest demand and be able to set it a little closer.

I have my fuel pressure set at 50 psi. I have a stand alone fuel system and a fuel pressure gauge. The question I am still wondering is how do I incorporate my air compresser into knowing what the fuel pressure safety swtich is set to cut off at?

Just hook the air comp up to your FPSS, then hook your ohm meter up to your FPSS (take your ohm meter and touch the tips together and look at meter that shows continuity, then pull them apart and look at meter that shows an open circiut) start adding air and watch for continuity and note pressure on comp gauge. That is the set point for allowing the nitrous to be activated. Now you know which way to turn screw to set press up or down.
