I've been chatting at work to a bloke who's got a damn good mind!

I want to know if there is a sensor avaliable to show pressure in and electronic signal?

We want to put sensors before the turbo(s); between the turbo(s) and the intercooler and between the intercooler and the inlet manifold (or in manifold, which ever is easier)...

What, how etc etc?

Any thoughts/ideas etc?....

Pressure/Vaccumn switch, basically it won't give you a measurement, but you can make it trigger at certain pressures.

its a start, it also has links to some articles that might give you or your mate some ideas.

Bass Junky, permanently... We wanna rig up a digital display that shows what the air goes into the turbo at; what it comes out of the turbo at (turbo effieciency or whatever you call it) then what it goes into the manifold at (ie what loss is caused through the pipes and intercooler etc....

Don't really wanna spend a fortune converting the car to MAP for that you know?....

just need 3 lil sensors that we can plumb into the pipes to send the pressure as a digital signal....

Does that help?

You dont need to convert the car to MAP based management...

A map sensor is a small, relatively cheap device that converts a pressure signal (ie from your intercooler plumbing) to an electrical signal...

Stock 33 boost guage is driven by a MAP sensor...

funky, I had a look at that and it looks good too...

I was just picturing something cheap and simple that could be tapped into the pipes like the O2 sensors in the dump pipes.... any thing like that? is that what a MAP sensor would be like?

Permanently: You would then have to weld little lugs to the places you want the signal to be taken from and then attach a MAP sensor to each lug.

From there you would have to output that signal to some sort of display unit.

I can't really see this as being a cheap thing to do......

The alternative it to plumb up three seperate boost gauges....

I think Autometer now have digital readouts which have the outputs from two sensors displayed on the one guage. You can configure them to be whatever you want. (might not be autometer.... but it's someone.

BASS OUT

Yeah, the drilling/welding shouldn't be too expensive if we know a welder though should it...

We're going to design our own display unit, using the 3... so the 3 boost guages would be a waste of money....

So how much do you think it would be for the 3 MAP sensors?

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
