connecting a boost guage up on a GTR

Did you completely disconnect that hose and leave it off?

[400kwgtr]

yes the one with the yellow band around it

Doesn't that mean you're running unlimited boost? I wouldn't be happy with that modification...

I disconnected the yellow tube going to the boost control solenoid. The boost was raised and the car goes like a madman now. I wish to hook a boost guage to it but not sure where to connect it. Should i use one of the lines going to the soleniod? thanks

So this is on the car your selling?

Would suggest that the only thing preventing your engine/turbos from dying is the wastegate spring are probably lifting off.

Have you checked the A/F's , do you know what boost it was running after you took the hose off but before you caned it down the road, have you any idea what your doing.....

* shakes head in wonderment...*

PS , put the hose back on, take the little restrictor out of the line ( the lump that will be at the little yellow band ) and reconnect the hose.

Put a Tee in the line going to the electronic boost solenoid which is the little black box at the rear rh side of the engine bay next to the brake booster. There is a vacuum line underneath it which will give a fairly accurate reading.

There are numerous articles in zoom and hpi regarding getting more horses out of a nissan gtr. Both magazines have detailed articles regarding this simple mod and the boys at croyden have discovered that this will safely raise boost to max of 15psi. So give me a break i do know what i am doing...

If the hose is disconnected as you've stated above, then you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. If, on the other hand, you've taken out the tiny boost restrictor and reattached the hose, then you're running about 1 bar but could possibly be more.

Do as Ken has said, you'll get a good reading from there.
