guys i put my boost gauge tube to my fpr and it reads vacum wtf? on the directions from autometer it says to hook it to a pressure port on the engine. where? where did everyone else hook it too?

 

thats what its suppose to be. your engine is always on vacuum until you reach boost.

 

first of all you DO NOT hook up a boost gauge to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Why would you do a thing like that? When it tells you to hook it up to a pressure port on the engine, it means that you need to install it in-line on one of your vacuum lines. Hope this helps.

 

then where does it go? i was told to hook it up to my fpr by some people here on this forum and someone up here. where would a pressure port be? am i ignorant?

 

The line to the FPR recieves vacuum/pressure signals. That is where you should hook it up.

 

You can tap several places on the intake manifold. The FPR is just fine.

 

I dont know what I was thinking that day. Everybody is right, there is many places on the intake manifold to hook it up, and the FPR will work just fine. Like everybody else said, the gauge will always read vacuum until the turbo starts to provide some positive pressure. I know this is probably stupid, but I am assuming that you have a turbo. I would hope that you don't hook up a boost gauge on a NA engine. hehe just me being stupid again. Listen to what people say, hook it up to the FPR. It will always read vacuum until higher in the RPM band when the turbo winds up. I hope that you get it figured out.

 

yah thanks guys, i thought it would be better there. oh and the guy a honda ment for me to T it to the cruise control before the check valve, but he pointed to the vacum after the check valve. oh well
