strange boost readings - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #26170 5 posts Started by popstar
ok guy's it's the retarded GT 4 owner again from across the waves >rolleyes.gif>

any ideas what happened, by boost seems to be all screwed up

if i floor the gas, an go up through the gears the car goes but doesn't kick like it used to i don't think, and boost gauge only hits 0.3kg......

if i'm lazy(i don't do this alot) and put my foot down in a high gear (say 4th only going at 50kph) the boost starts to kick in and and i can show as much as 0.7kg on the gauge....

is this normal, 0.3kg seem real low! what have i broken ????

any ideas would be a great help, thanks

Life is for living, and you don't get a second chanceTake care now !!
well the good news is that you didnt break anything!

check for any boost leaks, loose holse clamps, etc... around the turbo, intercooler and instake manifold.

im not used to reading boost in kg...only in psi and sometimes bar. so i dont know if the boost readings you are reporting are normal or not.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
.3 kgf= 4.267 psi
.7 kgf=9.956 psi
1.0 kgf= 14.223 psi

1.0 bar = 14.503 psi

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
Might be in limp mode. Pull the engine codes and see.

Otherwise I agree with Largos. Check for leaks.

JDM ST205Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
Where did you install your boost gauge? If you take off the wrong lines, you're readings will be messed up.

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
