is it possible to install a boost gauge on a N/A KA? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

AllenRPS13 · 04-25-2005, 05:18 AM

as the title says, my friend ask me if it is possible to make the boost gauge work properly. I don't think so... but is it correct? or It can make the boost gauge works properly on N/A by wiring it to FPR?
I know this thread may be kinda stupid... but I just wanna make sure about it, thanks!

eyustfu · 04-25-2005, 05:34 AM

yea i'll work, itd read the vaccum

AllenRPS13 · 04-25-2005, 05:45 AM

oh! really? i don't think it will work... thanks!

240trainee · 04-25-2005, 06:54 AM

All it is is a pressure guage, of course it will work, it'll just read negative pressure (Vacuum) instead of positive pressure (boost)

Gjohnson7 · 04-25-2005, 07:07 AM

What would be the point???? Does he just want everyone to think he has a turbo, until they race him????

420sx · 04-25-2005, 07:22 AM

ha hahahahhahahha. its 8 am. and this thread made me laugh so hard. haha. dont forget to mount the intercooler to go with your poser gauge

a boost gauge on an N/A car would only read how much the engine sucks.

Thats basically it. Your just reading if there is loss of vaccum. Which you can read from the engine bay by routing any vaccum gauge from the bay to check. You can check for hesitation problems or irratic idling etc. I dont know why you want to be reading loss of vaccum ALL the time unless you knew your lines were fucked up or something but i highly doubt it. I heard about people doing this a while back but it boggles my mind like some of you.

no that post made me laugh

pruto · 04-25-2005, 09:00 AM

there was a post a while back who said he had a intercooler and a fake bov on his na and his girlfriend made fun of him for it. not sure if it was on zilvia though.

yeah, i don't know why you'd bother. if you're doing it to impress people, then it is pretty useless. the car guys who would be impressed by a turbo/boost gauge would know off the bat that it isn't a turbo, and people who have no idea what boost is probably won't get impressed by a boost gauge anymore than a water temp gauge.

Dont forget the a/f narrowband as well =P
It would work if it was a gauge that showed vacuum as well as boost. If it was only boost naw

remember those (forgot what company) air intake for hondas that looked like a front mount intercooler.

once again, all i want in life is a really big revolver that can only kill stupid people...

point it at a somewhat intelligent person, pull the trigger... nothing...

repeat said process at a retard, and BAM... spaghetti on the sidewalk

statik · 04-25-2005, 09:46 PM

this girl who lives by me drives an impreza RS with intake/exhaust, she has a boost gauge...claims it reads +10psi, thats some short ram intake...

Someone should make a sticky thread called the "stupidest posts ever made on zilvia" and start with this one for our reading entertainment when people are bored hehe

Gjohnson7 · 04-26-2005, 10:18 AM

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this guy is most likely rolling on 14 inch spinner hub caps, with neon valve caps and washer nossels. Not to mention a huge Ironing board spoiler.

Paul you SOOOOO have the story wrong!

It was me.

Before I turbo-ed my KA, I mounted the intercooler, installed the engine management, and boost controller so I could have less downtime (its my get to school car). BUT I lagged on the mani/turbo install for 3 months and my g/f started making fun of me.

THATS the real story.

Now I harass her because she's lagging on her diy coilovers...
