I've seen it suggested that it's x100 mm Hg, ie 700mm Hg, which is slightly less than 1 bar (760 = 1 bar)

I think that's what on the cluster anywayz.

Makes sense..

I knew it was something like that.

the gauge is quoted in millimeters of heilium. This is a very old measurement which is pretty much obsolete. A stock HCR32 runs 10PSI of boost, this is what the actuator is set to, and what is displayed when you hook up an aftermarket boost gauge.

No, it's millimeters of MERCURY, 700mm of helium wouldn't be much pressure :D

It comes from when pressure was measured by seeing how much mercury it moved in a measured glass tube. It is also called a 'torr' 1 torr = 1 mm Hg.

either way you cut it the stock gauge is usualy wrong 1/2 the time anyways so just get a good aftermarket (not autometer) boost gauge and call it a day.

What's wrong with autometer? Autometer have been around for decades in the US and are made in the US.

I think you mean autogauge?

no i meant what i said, auto meter gauges are not as accurate as they tout.

my buddy with a rx7 had a auto meter gauge that said he was only boosting 7-8psi he threw on a greddy gauge (electric) and it showed boost to be more like 12.

just recently a buddy of mine dynoded his s13 hatch with a rb20 in it and the auto meter gauge read 11psi when it was really boosting 15.

from what ive been told the stock boost on a BONE stock gts-t is 7psi, however when the std exhaust has been dropped in favour of a highflowing one boost jumps up to 10psi.

From what you have been told is correct (sought of).

A stock R33GTST runs 7psi - RB25DET.

A stock R32GTST runs 10 psi - RB20DET.

RB20's and RB25's use different turbos, the RB25 (R33) turbo is slightly bigger than an RB20 (R32) turbo - therfore it can make more power at a lower boost level.

My R32 was running 10 PSI on my aftermarket Greddy Guage. After putting in a 3 inch turbo back egzorst it used to spike to 13psi and sit at 12psi all day - this is because the bigger egzorat is more free flowing and can get rid of gasses quicker - im sure on the exact technical term for it but thats what happens when you do egzorst mods to your car i.e: Air filter and egzorst.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
