dyno question

01blkgt · 03-16-2004, 02:12 PM

Does anyone know if there is a dyno in the Austin/SA/Houston/DFW that can measure boost, a/f? Reason I'm asking is that I'm having 0 luck getting my boost guage to work and I need to know how much boost exactly is getting produced so the guy tuning it can tweak it as need be. Thanks

Did you install the guage yourself? Maybe you tapped into something other than a vacuum line?

yea, installed it and double-checked everything. Its plugged into the red vacuum line coming off of the upper intake which is what I believe is the right line right??? I'm thinking it might be the guage itself or something else I cant think of. So Murillo is able to get boost psi from a dyno?

Sup Chris, when are you going to put the 4v in??? Prob be down there this weekend, but w/o the stang. When's the next HRP day going on for the Houston stangers? Might go down there then.

You can measure your boost with Autotap software.
Don't quote me for sure, but I think it's intake manifold pressure minus absolute barometric pressure (approx 14.3) = boost pressure.

What side of the intake is it on? Mine's on the passg. side and I used a T-fitting for it. When Mike did the dyno, he did't even use my guage, he used one he hooked up himself.
