Just fitted my New boost gauge to MY94 WRX and i'm getting -21 psi when idle and normal driving it's 0 then boosting it's 10 psi..

That sound right?

Sounds about right to me (if I can remember, I think my standard MY94 WRX was about that).... apart from the fact I didnt think you could have negative PSI! lol Not your fault, but just the guage!

Errr yeah! lol at least you know what i mean

What boost do you think i could run with my standard turbo and for it to be safe?

 

sounds about right, my STi3, read -20 vacumn pressure, and a blip of throttle read 0, and boosting read about 12Psi, with my limits being about 16-17Psi

 

In the early days of mapping these cars (back in 2000) I was running circa 1.2-1.3 bar on stock engine apart from exhaust, induction and re-map. It was running circa 270-280bhp.

Hope this helps.

Shaun.

 

Had a closer look at mine before and it reads 12psi..

I need a Remap

 

UK 200 my99 PPP my maximum boost is 17 PSI, 1.18 bar, 118KPa

Hope his helps.

 

Sorry no, only work in "Hg or "wg

 

my sti v3 with an apexi avcr boosts up to 1.35 bar no problem.

 

17 PSI Griff?? Sounds a lot that?

I might invest in an electric booster but will i need a remap at the same time? What is the safe PSI for my car? 15?

 

you wont need a remap, if you add an electronic boost controller. you td05 turbo with the right supporting mods is capable of upto 350bhp.

 

What mods? lol

 

front mount intercooler, bigger injectors, uprated fuel pump and this point you will need a mappable ecu such as an apexi power fc.

 

Hi, is the car standard or not?? when running that boost, thinking of doing my boost soon, on my sti v3, but need to know my limits....
Cheers

 

I need more power

 

17psi is around right for the PPP. an electric booster ? you are winding us up anything in the air flow to your turbo will created flow restriction, you can't get a 12v dc powered electric booster to run anywhere fast enough to supply pressurised air into the turbo and when starting to boost your turbo will be restricted by the flow through the electric "booster" there may be some benefit to to electric booster on normally aspirated cars. Boost controller is a different matter.

try one off these its a cheep fix to get 16psi

 

hi mate, the car is standard apart from a full 3" decat, apexi induction, earthing kit and the boost controller. it runs 1.35 no problems on optimax with millers. the vf23 has a limit of 1.4 bar so as long as you keep below that it will be fine.

 

Looks ok that JC but i'll make sure my motors running spot on before hiking up the boost
