it sounds stupid so dont ask but if i put my car on a lift and have the wheels off the ground and go through gears carefully will the car build any boost or does it need to see a load from the ground ??

 

It will build some boost, just like revving it will, but exactly how much? Not a lot. The engine has to be under load.

 

ride the brakes

 

i never thought of riding the brakes but in theory that would work i guess haha ...

 

What in the world are you trying to do?

build boost!

just hook up the jackstand version of the G-tech and you got yourself a dyno!

 

sure ya can.. lol

 

****, most turbo Honda's don't need to be up on jackstands to spin the tires and go nowhere.

 

ha , im trying to watch my AF while tuning without a dyno... i know sounds dumb but i got a shop to do it at i only need to build a few psi to test what i need to.. and if something goes wrong ill have it in the shop where i can just fix it..

Not the same because you have no load .

 

wouldnt riding the brakes simulate a load?

 

Yeah it does but you shouldn't do it for tuning just drive the car start off rich and lean it out like every tuner does.

 

ya i got a good tune but i had a reason to suspect my zdyne ecu was not functioning properly and if i blow the motor again i rather it be in my shop.. but ill see .. im hoping for the best

 

I don't get it. The only thing I can figure is you have a wideband in the shop but not connected in the car?

 

Ask your mom, dad, sister, grandma, whatever, to help watch the meter while you drive.

 

or have someone else drive it and u tune

 

the title of this thread just screams "BAD IDEA INSIDE"

 

lol thats what i have been thinking for 2 or 3 days now

 

might be a bad idea but ive done worse so i aint worried about it
