sup
on the dyno tony1 said its set at 12psi...boost cut is around 13psi...
well the other day...i ran it on the street and all sudden i felt boost cut (never knew how it felt...) oh yeah i wasnt lookin at the gauge...but last night i ran it again...i hit 14psi almost 15psi and it didn't cut out...so im guessing my gauge is off?

what reads boost? 3bar map sensor?
boost gauge - autometer

thankyou in advance

 

what kind of boost gauge do you have?

 

autometer

 

yes they are typically off by a little bit. The 3bar map is what your ECU is reading off of.

 

do you have a way to datalog your map values? that will tell you how much boost your ecu is seeing.

hook the laptop up to it and it will tell you how much boost your map sensor is reading.

thx man is it accurate?

 

it should be accurate as long as your map sensor is reading correctly.

 

my first autometer lasted about a month and a half. had it hooked up and everytime i turned the car off it would fall a little bit lower. when i pulled it out of the car, it sat at -11vacuum with the car off

 

yea they suck. I bought one, but it read 5psi without being hooked up so i took it back and got a different gauge.

 

whats a good guage to get?

 

defi guages

 

where can i get those

 

man them defi expensive as expletive, what yall think about stewart warner's?

 

Do the electronic gauges read more accurate then the mechanical ones?

stewart??? da *** is dat

 

SW's are very popular... I see alot of circle track cars with them

 

i looked up SW and they seem to be some sort of classic gauges..

 

I was thinking of getting SWW for vac/boost and water temp.

My current autometer oil pressure and oil temp are working great, they are electric. They fall to zero everytime, never get stuck.

The reason Im going to try SWW is because ive heard the autometer mechanicals arent accurate for boost, plus the SWW look nice and seem like a good product. They are also only a tad more expensive.

So SWW mechanical for vac/boost and an SWW electric for water temp.

 

Post some pics, or links of the SWW gauges.

They seem to be of good quality. Just go to http://www.summitracing.com, then under gauges.

 

Does electronic gauges read more accurate then mechanical gauges?

 

Stewart Warner are very good gauges, and they carry many different styles.
The company is also from where I live, so for a local company making it big.

 

how they usually run
