so, my boyfriend looked under the hood and wondered if you could tap into the vacuum line coming off the fuel pressure regulator?

just an idea? i know most of you guys would know pretty much everything. my boost gauge is coming in today so we were just looking around and feeling for spots.

thanks!

 

Vacuum line?? Remove the Y pipe coming off the SC, drill and tap it and install your fitting or do the same thing with one of your intake manifold plenums. Those are the two best places for boost.

 

Agreed........

 

Clearly, your BF does not know how to tap your boost properly...ahem.

 

Most turbo cars do have the vac/boost gauge tapped in to a rubber line.
Auto meter even includes a "t" fitting in the install kit for their gauge. So it is not unusual.
However - the direct fitting in the intake or runner would be best.

 

LOL am i picking up sexual overtones in this comment? Surely not us respectable crossfire owners...

 

I am surprised no one teed up on this comment, kind of disappointed in you guys.

 

i think ckovach got it covered!!

 

Watch out! They might ban you!

yep, I have seen that photo before....just making sure we all get it right....you have to "be certain you are tappin' the right hole" for things to come out right.....

 

Yep.... if you accidentally tap the wrong hole, "oops" just doesn't quite get it! LOL

 

haha you guys are funny.

we ended up tapping it into the driver side manifold.

 

Your cars stock yeah? whats the max boost it's produced so far, according to your new gauge?

 

regular driving - 10
if i get on it - 14
and if it downshifts and goes crazy acceleration yo' - 15

 

The hose on the fuel pressure regulator goes to a vent and has neither vacuum or pressure on it. Its to compensate for the elevation and barometric pressure,

woody can i have a quick lesson in what i need to have boost iat and a/f readings from the zt-2 dashdaq setup?
do i need the sensors from zetronics and tap the y pipe for boost? is it an electrical reading or air pressure reading? im really lost as to what i need to purchase and want it all at once.
pm me if its to involved for here

 

Well if special k gets up to 15psi, what would I be getting guys? with the C3 and meth? I'd hope close to 20psi damn I need a gauge but I hate spending money on things that dont make me go faster

 

my boost gauge was 15$ you need hook ups.

 

$15 you serious? you sure it works lol
