Standard Boost Gauge Measurement R32

[G Kanobi]

Is this similar to BAR? All my other boost gauges in cars have been bar, kg and psi?

The standard goes to 7 x 100mm Hg. How much is that in PSI?

Because I just got mine back from the workshop and its only running 3.5 and doesnt feel like its pulling hard at all.

+7mmhg is 14.7psi = 1.bar

7psi or so sounds normal for a stock turbo with no boost controller.

I think you mean 700 mmHg (7 x 100). Actually, 1 bar = 760 mmHg

Ah okay sweet.

I've got a boost controller im going to throw on today.

I've been told to go no higher than 11psi on the stock tubro, can anyone confirm this?

mm hg

milimeters of mercury it stands for and im pretty sure 7 mmhg is 1 bar and one bar is 14.7 psi

What sort of car are u putting the boost controller on. Does this car have an aftermarket ecu because if it doesnt i wouldnt run anymore than about 9 psi and even running more than standard boost ur car may lean out under hard boosting. Simply because your standard ecu doesnt have the mapping to map the right amount of fuel in when it comes onto boostif u wind it up. If u have an aftermarket ecu then theres no problem with running 12-15psi as long as you dont hold it on boost for like ages. I ran my vl on 15psi for years without any dramas and that had an rb25 with standard turbo and aftermarket ecu and i used to drive that thing hard

Yeah I've had cars with aftermarket ECU's before running high boost, and I get all the leaning business.

Surely you'd have to be able to run atleast 10psi without it being too detrimental?

I can't imagine every boosted skyline out there running aftermarket managment..

Go back to 1st year highschool science (it could even be late primary school, so long since I did it) and review air pressure. It's 760 mmHg = 1 atmosphere (1 bar, 14.7 psi, 32 ft water).

The gauge says x100 mm Hg - therefore, any reading on the gauge has to be multiplied by 100. I doubt you could ever produce 700 bar boost pressure!

sorry to bump up an old thread but atleast im using the search function.

Where on my standard r33 series 2 boost meter is 10-12psi of boost pressure???? i understand that the +7 = 14.7psi

ive done some simple maths and assuming my standard boost guage is correct 12psi should equal to something about 550-600mm/HG

and 10psi should be about 450-500mm/HG???

can anyone confirm this????

or correct me

and yes i will get a boost guage put on but not for a little while....
