hey guys

I've just installed a boost gauge onto my r32 gtst which has pod filter, high flow cat ,and cat back exhaust. Now i know that when u put the exhaust on u can see upto around 10psi.

The thing is my boost gauge tells me i have around 11.25 psi, when we all know that the stock wastegate actuator is 10 psi...so is it my guage or am i missing something here

i have t'd the gauge off from the stock boost gauge line.

anyone know anything about this?

ahh...i see. Yeh i think ur right it must be a "rough" figure mixed in with a lil bit of boost gauge innaccuaracy.

just by the sounds of it tho on these forums people were saying its a definate 10 psi actuator, no more no less.

there u have it people, i have been running 11.25 psi (at least) on my stock r32 for at least 1.5 years and the turbo hasn't gone boom!

I have one of these on my R33 it seems to run 9psi to 5000rpm then 11psi till redline used to do the same thing on the R32 it came off. Any ideas why and yes the 2 stage boost soliniod has been disconnected

cheers

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
