Neil Sandham Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Guys, Over the past two years when ever I switched my AVCR off (when the g/f is driving!) the most boost the car would make was 0.8kg/cm2. That was just with CW pipes and a Super Drager. Over the past few days however, I noticed that it's producing 1.01 kg/cm2 with it switched off. any ideas? Actuator pipe split ? Engine finally "run in" loosend up after 105,000 miles? oh btw can anyone remember the converison factor for kg/cm2 to PSI ?? cheers Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Might it just not be the fact its colder (well, it is up here anyway!) Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Originally posted by Neil Sandham oh btw can anyone remember the converison factor for kg/cm2 to PSI ?? 1 kg/cm2 is roughly 14.7psi Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz. mmmm wondered that, but I've driven it plenty of times (over 2 years!) in just as cold weather and it never went above 0.8 kg/cm2 before cheers Neil.

Chris Wilson Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Maybe some baffles have come out of the exhaust? Leaky pipe to the wastegate? Leaky pipe to boost controller? Extra cold weather, was minus 6 last night here, colder still tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Sandham Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 Checked all pipes. All in good order. Didnt know HKS Super Draggers used baffles???? Ah well, maybe as I said the engine is finally run in :p Cheers Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Neil: Probably no baffles, just perforated tubes, ignore me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 F*cking hell, Im hitting 20psi....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Sandham Posted February 20, 2003 Author Share Posted February 20, 2003 Originally posted by Ashley Willis F*cking hell, Im hitting 20psi....... Ash , yours a J spec ? They often do coz the cats helped control boost creep due to a smaller wastegate. I've never heard of a UK spec getting above 12psi even with exhaust and down pipes unless a boost controller is fitted. cheers Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
