Don't listen to them. Yeh man, you need to run a boost line to the manifold, it will work, and may even measure boost if your cold air induction is working well. You just need to drive really fast t

Its NA, there is NO boost to measure.

If it goes negative, you can measure vacuum, thats about it. :)

This has to be a troll post.....

Get some fishing line (preferably thicker shit so it doesn't snap) and tie one end to the needle of the boost gauge and the other to your accelerator pedal. When you push the accelerator pedal down the needle will rise. Easy 20HP gain, and an extra 3k resale.

Haha dont bother man there is nothing to monitor. Theres no purpose, so why put it? You're gonna have to explain to every person that hops in your car why you installed a boost gauge in a n/a :P

You could hook it up to the vacuum line as suggested, but its a boost gauge which reads positive pressure, vacuum is the negative boost pressure. Unless you plan on running nitrous oxide, its completely pointless. Just sell it and buy some petrol (:

      Stupid HICAS Question?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      You won't make it out of your driveway. Both your rear wheels will go in whichever direction they feel. Your Hicas rack or a lockout bar is required to keep your wheels straight.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4

      Wastegate Boost Reference For Twin Turbo Rb26 Using Dual Port Gates

      Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?

      Stupid HICAS Question?

      By JeffWithaJ · Posted

      Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
