boost ?

[baby huie]

ok i just got in al my gages but i am having a problem my boost gage is reading like 15 pounds and i know i am not running 15 pounds. i had a obdx indiglow boost gage on it and it was reading 8 befor i got my exhaust any ideas what can be the problem. is there iny way to test how much bost is being ran with out using a boost gage. would putting a 3 inch exhaust insted of stock change my boost from 8 to 15. gonna try putting the obdx boost gage back on and see what it says what should i do?

If you don’t have a boost controller but do have free mods (bcs restrictor removed), 15psi is about right.

 

[baby huie]

no i have a boost controler and i had it set at 8 psi and that was on the obx boost gage but now that i have a autometer it says 15 i dont know whats up i have the same setup that i had on obx boost gage so i dont know whats up

Maybe you had a pinched line or a loose fitting with the old one. I'd trust the Autometer.

P.S. running a 50 trim with the stock exhaust? damn

na i ahve a full 3 inch mandral with straight pip now and it made a big diff but i havent staryted tuning i how i get a great deal more power when i start cause if this is 15 pounds i want more

the obx boost gauge is shit.
I bet you are really running 15lbs of boost.

That piece of shit obx boost gauge probably have your vacuum reading at 10-12 and boost readings settling at around 8-10 with boost spikes.

I've been through 2 different obx gauge, both are piece of junk.

okay on my 1995 GST
stock pretty much Im ordering a 1gen BOV and i have been looking at them and looking at
MY stock Plastic one , and the plastic one just slids straight into the pipe the 1gen
has to places for screws and it wouldn't beable to just slid in
Any one able to tell me if i have to order a pipe with the 1gen?
and send me a link how to get it hooked up right thanks!?!?

i know the greddy has an adapter flange that slides in to the stock plastic location so you can just bolt the bov on to it. i think it might be the same size as the 1g but call a DSM shop first before purchasing. before you buy anything just reverse your stock BOV for now until you get all the equipment you need.

okay Cool,
do you know of anywebsites or phone numbers? I dont know of any dsm shops?
what do you mean "" just reverse your stock BOV ""

 

[danielbui]

anywhere that sells BOVs can help you but i prefer DSM shops.
reversing your BOV is basiclly taking your stock plastic BOV and putting it backwards. instead of boost opening it up and leaking at 12psi, boost will hold it close until vaccum can pull on the plunger to release the unwanted gases. almost same principal as HKS ssqv but there is a catch. the spring isn't all that great so after vaccum opens it, it might not shut in a millasecond like the $200. ones do. but it does work and i am running it now instead of my blitz until i get my MAFT.
