Best way to get 10psi???

Damn, he ran nitrous?

Some people that run nitrous don't use it to spray into the motor itself. On boosted cars some run a nitrous sprayer and spray the outside of the intercooler to further cool the air inside the intercooler. It effectively freezes the outside off the intercooler. But is an expensive way to go about it. I've heard of some using water with ice cubes in the water reservior to get a similar outcome. It just helps get the air temps down.

Water w/ Ice cubes is for an Air to Water IC... I've only seen one MSP with this setup... but have pondered doing it myself.

Use the stock IC location for a heat exchanger, and run a air to water in the factory intake location..

Interesting. I didn't know that, thanks.

oh yeah also my boost gauge reads no vac????????

You wanna boost 10 psi reliably, then get your car running PERFECT under stock conditions first. Invest in a wideband and boost gauge for starters.

Make sure that your vacuum is reading 20-24 in.Hg when idling to make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks, and check what your maximum boost is currently set at. If you have a boost controller, I would suggest turning it all the way down or just removing it altogether. Stock boost is 6 psi, so make sure that's what your boost gauge reads.

Your wideband should give you a good idea of how prepared you are to crank up the boost. When idling and riding under vacuum, you should see AFRs of 14.3-15.5 or so. When boosting, they should be below 13.. preferably in the 11.2-12.5 range, but if you have the stock ECU then you might be seeing 10-11 cuz the stock tune is super rich. If you're in the orange or red under boost, you have some serious problems.. and you should not be boosting AT ALL.

Once you verify that your car is running good under STOCK conditions, THEN you can THINK about cranking up the boost. The CAI and FMIC is a good start, but you still have a few checkpoints to reach before 10 psi is safe. Make sure your exhaust is good.. you don't want any leaks here either.

Anyway, go over the thread that zuku pointed you to. It has lots of great info, but study the hell out of it. Understand the importance of every mod you do, and don't do anything before you know what it does and why you need it.

If you have further questions, ask away. Good luck (2thumbs)

..what?!

 

[Brad-MSP]

My gauge reads 6psi but it just goes back to 0 never into the vac

I bought the car off a car lot...this guy found me at a sumernites cruise in somerset ky looked over the car had me pop the trunk and he said it was his car he showed me the hole where he had the nitrous had been hooked up and yeah it was outside the intercooler and i do remeber him saying that he did have something done with the LSD He also said this MSP is one one of the only ones that didnt blow up at 15psi there is a guy on this fourm i think his user name is SeR_Cyclops i think he knows the guy who had my car and what was done to it oh yeah and to who ever asked what part of KY i live in its Wayne Co. but i also go to college at EKU (richmond ky) but anyways i want to know if this car is one of the factory freaks i just dont want to test it out just want to know so if i up my boost just a little bit i wont worry as much...but im going to try to find out what was done to this car and let everyone know because i am really curious myself.

hahaha you have the fastest msp in ky at one time. and yeah thats me!
BTW: I dont think cass blew the evo up but i know it has been built

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

..what?!

your saying that your gauge is just a boost gauge no vac right? it just shows boost? because there is no way you are showing 0 inches of merc if it is suppose to red vac.

 

[Brad-MSP]

no it reads both boost and vac

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

wow it must be broke.

 

[Brad-MSP]

its new i have had two and they both did the read the same

 

[808MP5]

try a different vacuum port... something is definitely wrong there

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

yeah no joke, hook it up to the brake booster, but make sure that you get it on the other side of the check valve if you want i can show you where its at sometime.

yeah i defenitely need to get this fixed i need to get my car running good again and everything working right

I don't get it..

Does it read vacuum or not?

 

[Brad-MSP]

the boost gauge reads it like its can but it dont it spikes 6 and goes to 0

 

[Captain KRM P5]

what brand of gauge is this?

 

[Brad-MSP]

what brand of gauge is this?

i have an autometer and a faze they both read they both read the same

i think he means that it has a vac side on the gauge (obviously) but the needle just isn't venturing down that far.
