Mid_lifecry_sis Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Recently I have been running my car at 1 bar, I have no choice that's what the Apexi gauge is telling me; some may think this OK for the spec of the car; however, I had been running 1.2bar so where has it gone? Big question with lots of answers. Fortunately I was with red busman Geezabloke on Sunday, and whilst in the passenger seat with my arse hanging out at 110 leptons say hi on the M25, well I was bored, we had a play. Can anyone confirm that the following test will show almost true readings? I run HKS air and Hyper - 1st cat in and have been running 1.2. Blast 1: showed when I was reading 1 bar Geeza was reading 1.24 and on the second run 1.21 bar to my 1 bar - is my gauge out - can I assume it simply needs calibrating? This was done rolling from 80/90 to 130 ish maybe more; Geeza didn’t pull away during the acceleration, or leave me once there and showed the 1.24bar pressure during the top end for a small period before we resumed 70. Your thoughts gents? Cheers all PS: Geeza and his girl'i freind plan view! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Possibly just the hot weather, I'm about 0.1-0.2 down on what it used to be running. Possibly a small boost leak though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid_lifecry_sis Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 but I matched Geezas 1.24? i need to know if that match is scientifically correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Was this acurately timed with a stop watch or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Could just be warm air. You need a boost controller so you can compensate for these things. If you see a black Supra and can't keep up, it's me (at 1.2) with my boost controller compensating for the air temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid_lifecry_sis Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 ok, ok, ok.... was running 1.2 now showing 1 but my 1 is equal to geezas 1.24, so is my dial out... got it? I have had a bit of a knock so...? no stop watch just him accelerating, then me, then me keeping up with great ease haha, etc. no way could i have done this if I was running only 1 bar to his UK spec, IC'd boost controlled beast with both cats out etc? So my dial must be out? Wonder what I would pull with both cats removed? bang. You are right though, I need 2k for the IC and boost control; just that I dont have 2k!!!!!! Mind you seems like i DONT NEED IT GIVEN THAT i AM RUNNING 1.2! for now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Mid/Chris phone me , youve got the number John:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Unlikely that a boost gauge is reading that far out. There is more to a car's performance than just boost pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid_lifecry_sis Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 yep that is true. but if you revered at 60 in to an oncoming car across a dual cway do you think you might need calibrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p Figure following some good comment, a little from TRD and Term would be nice 2, respect to the guru's, it's the gauge so...

Geezabloke Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Mid as discussed at the time the boost has many variables, ie gearing, revs ect.......also different size turbo's.......... Its wrong to assum just cos i was showing 1.24 yours should have been....I could have been in a lower gear..rev harder....and so on... You really need to get on a rolling road with a boost gauge that could be plugged opn direct? That should put your mind at rest.. However if you wanna just blast up and down a dual carriage way in tandem.....I DONT MIND....LOL....:flame Dev and stop posting that pic of me and Sarah at the coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
