Boost Gauge

[Rekin]

Yeah thats what i thought. Is there any way to reliably measure boost. Like if i was getting it dynoed/tuned can they connect something to the engine bay and get a reading of boost? Surely there is....

Yes they can, look at the bottom line in the picture;

a remap by sam will cost about $500 + $200 or so dyno time if i remember correctly. he will graph manifold pressure for you.

that's a good power figure you got there now patrick. i remember when it was way down hehe. don't spend too much time and money at re though!

wat mods have u got?

I had the same thing hapen when i installed my speco boost guage. one other thing to remember is that the factory boost guage is an electronic guage, where as the after market guage runs directly off a vacume line, so there will be varients there. also the standard guage reads in MMhgx100 (millimeters of mercury). the maximum reading on the guage is +7 - or 700MMhg, which is equivelant to about 14psi. so what does your factory guage read at the moment?

Also, i am currently getting my turbo high-flowed, which lead to my discovery that apparently the R32 skyline came out with 3 different turbos for different models. i thought that they where all ceramic shaft bush bearing type, but mine i am told is roller bearing. so i am now wondering if anyone knows which specific models had which turbo?

I doubt the gauge is faulty if its giving a reading. Sounds more like your car just runs that much boost.

wat mods have u got?

lol mods are only r34 sidemount intercooler, apexi catback exhaust and apexi airpod. Its much higher than normal which makes me believe i could have a retuned ECU from japan. A trip to Dr.Drift should find out the larger power for minimal mods.

A different tune isn't going to make you run more boost..
