If you haven't BOOSTED yet; DO IT!!!

I finally (with MemphisRacer's assistance) did; and it's a different car. Buy Joe P's (kwiktsi) XZ MBC, and get an even Bigger MAZDASPEED Grin!!!

well,, you might want to add a boost gauge.. you know,, just for kicks..

uhhhh yeah....

well,, you might want to add a boost gauge.. you know,, just for kicks..

No s***??!! I have a boost gauge/ turbo timer. See my signature. I installed it in February. Better yet; here'a pic. Cool, stealth install!

Anyone would be a fool, installing a boost controller without a BOOST GAUGE.

 

[SuperSpud]

ahhhh you suck.. thats the one I want... SOOO badly do I want that.. I dont know why I bought a boost gauge.. grrrrrr.... how bright is that?? does it beep any?

 

[SuperSpud]

oh and how accurate is that as a boost gauge? I mean,, does it just measure whole psi? or does it register half and what not too?

HA!! No; I ROCK!!! Beeps? Yes; everytime I get a hard-on! (chair) It has a totally variable brightness adjustment. You can see it fine during the day, and fine at night. A boost warning flashes if you hit the mark you set.

 

[SuperSpud]

wait what?? it doesnt display the psi?? do you just set it at like,, 9psi,, then it beeps when you are there?? thats not cool

 

[t3ase]

No, it displays the boost. I don't have one, so don't quote me on this, but I think the Blitz is in KPA (bar) not PSI, though.

 

[SuperSpud]

****!!!!! is it too much to ask for to have a damn psi rating?? jeez.... how many "bar" is 9.5 psi?? isnt one bar like 14.7 psi??

 

[MemphisRacer]

I think we set the MBC at about .67 KPa (kilapascals) which is a little over 9psi. It's not really confusing if you have a conversion sheet in front of you. Once Greg got whatever was clogging the air flow in the MBC out by using his superlungs capable of over 20psi to unclog it, it only took about 3 passes down the street to get it to where he wanted it. His Blitz dual tt displays KPa, not psi. It's not real hard to get used to, just different.

 

[SuperSpud]

ok so about .67 = 9 psi?? ish at least?

 

[AGR]

conversion....

hkPa to PSI (.47 hkPa = about 6.9 psi) normal MSP boost

.40 hkPa = 5.80 psi
.50 hkPa = 7.26 psi
.60 hkPa = 8.71 psi (I'm set about .64 hkPa now)
.70 hkPa = 10.16 psi
.80 hkPa = 11.61 psi

 

[SuperSpud]

ok so yeah.. 6.67 would be right at 9.5'ish

 

[SuperSpud]

nope.. I busted out the ol' calculator.. I need to run .61224489 bar to get 9 psi... lol

 

[SuperSpud]

.65 is 9.5 psi

 

[AGR]

.65 is 9.5 psi

Yes,,,right about there. (safe zone)

Why don't they display PSI? I don't know; but I think it is silly. I don't know how many brands of boost gauges actually do display PSI.

 

[MemphisRacer]

ah, this is true... but with this type of boost controller it usually lets the boost creep about 1/2 lb before settling at the desired mark (9lbs in this case.)

 

[SuperSpud]

right on

 

[SuperSpud]

you have instructions on how to install that timer? like,, with pix and whatnot?
