gfb bleed valve

[hanyou]

hey peoples, i just bought a gfb atomic boost controller. $66 on ebay lol.. anyway i dont have a boost gauge other then the stock one... anyone kno how to find out wat the stock boost gauge reads?...

i just want to run 10psi all day everyday. and if anyone knows is it hard to install and does it come wid everyfin in the box? thanksss

i have a gfb bleed also. easy toinstall, comes with eveything you need from memory

stock gauge reads fine (despite what others might say), its just herd to interpret...

it reads in mmHg, and the conversion is: 760mmHG = 14.3psi

so taking that into consideration, + 3.5 (or half way on the gauge) is about 7psi and +7 (or full gauge) is about 14psi

hope that helps

cheers,

Warren.

PS more info can be found in a search...

coool thanks alot! well another question is i bought the package 2nd hand and the guy said i jus need to get the hose that connects to the car.. any idea where i cud get this from?..

[WazR32GTSt]

not sure... i bought mine new and it was in the box

maybe repco?

they are good bleed valves.

i got mine for under $80 from autobahn. i m not sure what ur missing but its real easy to install...

pull the 2 hoses off ur stolinoid (spelling), there is a arrow on the controler, MAKE SURE you point this arrow to the wastgate actuator and then just plug the other 1 on the other side.

there is another way of doing it, 1 of the hoses connects to a T piece. remove the T and plug the hoses in, making sure that the arrow is goin to the wast actuator. then with the other hose left on the stol, you just block with a screw. i didnt use this method cuz i dont like the idea of having a hose just sitting there blocked. but its up to you.

Just buy a boost gauge, by the looks of your sig you have heaps of mad parts on your car, im sure an extra $150 wont be too much for a gauge dude! PROBLEM SOLVED!

why does he need to buy a boost gauge? is he running more boost than the stock gauge shows (ie 14psi?)

i can't see any reason why he can't use the stock gauge...

Sweet man! I thought mine wasn't boostin'

So take a stock car for instance, nothing done to it, the stock gauge would only go up to +3.5? is that how it works?

hahah mate im completely poor atm.. haha but yea im looking nito buying a hks direct bright or watever its called boost gauge.. but yeah all i need to find is the hose and allen key lol that shud be easy right?..

i think it will be hard to read on stock boost gauge cuz like its not very precise and u cud be running liek 13 instead of 10 haha.. and plus im gna be running 10psi all the time.

Boost gauge is one of the the most useful aftermarket mods I have on my car. Couldn't live without out it.

[WazR32GTSt]

so should everyone go out and buy a new tacho, speedo, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge then??

its so stupid how everyone keeps saying 'buy a boost gauge' when the car bloody has one!

on an R33, yes

on an R32 it would go slightly above the half-way mark

because the stock boost gauge is hard to read (it's very small) and the increments are quite coarse (small gauge movment=large change in boost pressure). they are also very slow to react. also there are numerous cases of the factory gauge giving incorrect readings.

i think it's a stupid idea to bump up the boost without an aftermarket gauge.

but everyone has their own opinion.

hey guys im a bit confused about the factory boost gauge i have a standard r32gtst and you guys say that the boost gauge should only read just over 3.5 half way on the factory boost gauge well mine goes right upto +7 and holds flat so maybe for boost than that?? any ideas?? way off topic sorry
