33 gts-t boost

[simmo32]

what boost should a 33 gts-t automatic be runnig???

ive hooked up a boost gauge, and its peakin at 3.5psi.

[LBR33]

it should be running about 7psi but when i got mine it was running 5psi

[Kaido_RR]

mine runs 0.4bar

make sure theres no kinks or squashed parts on the boost guage hose. it should be running 5psi low revs and 7psi top end.

it is an auto, i know its would probably be running less than a manual, but u have a FMIC and diff back exhaust as well, does this sound right?? because im really sure it doesnt, and can i then boost to 0.9bar on high boost with my electronic boost controller???

[simmo32]

its runnin 3.5 top end...

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i dont think it being auto or manual makes any difference...then again i might be wrong. 3.5.....id be surprised if u actually felt anything at all. my friends 32 was auto and stock boost and it felt like it was running more than 3.5.

what are your settings on ur ebc now? 3.5?? if its just the settings and everything else seems ok it should be safe to take it up to 7psi or 10 if u really want.

i would seriously check out ur readings before goin ahead though.

You arnt looking at the boost guage in the dash. That guage shows boost in mmhg not psi.

[fresh]

if u double the numbers in the in dash gauge u get approx psi

im lookin at the boost gauge i installed.

did some in-car diagnostics, all is fine. could it be from the FMIC maybe, its too big????

[simmo32]

it is 740 x 300 x 80

[aybee]

yeah thats pretty bloody big....

[WazR32GTSt]

just for the record, the auto runs exactly the same boost as the manual...

my auto R32 runs 10-11psi with exhaust, filter, FMIC, rb26 cams and that's without turning the boost up there's just less restriction now.

does it 'feel' like there's no boost? what does the stock gauge read? (ignore your new gauge for the moment...)

[simmo32]

stock gauge, when converted is about the same, but you can feel as if there is some boost there, if you know what i mean. compared to a na car it fells more torquey.

i finnaly figured it out, after much thinking. it was the type bov that had been put on, it was leaking i guess, i put the factory one on and (cha ching) its now running 7psi in the top end.
