87 t2 hittin 40psi boost should i be worried
 

when i am driving my car and i give it hell usely when racing it hitts 40 psi all the time and some times when driving and the car is all stock so should i get worried or is all that power normal? pm me with anwsers

sure you got that boost gauge hooked up correctly? ;) 40 psi simply isn't possible

I bet he's thinking about the stock guage...it goes up to 40 I believe but you would multiply that times 10 so it would be 400mm of HG. I think 760mm of HG is 1bar.

lol 40psi, you would have the fastest t2 in the world!

or have the nicest fireworks display when your engine exsplodes:)

KABOOM!!!!!!!

Get a good mechanical gauge and check the pressure again. The stock gauge is used for driver entertainment and that's about it.

lol...w3rd :cool:

I don't know of any boost gauge that can read as high as 40 psi.

sure there is, some race cars run like 100psi (piston) :D

and ya you are looking at the stock gauge right?? LOL.. it's not in psi.

The stock gauge runs in inches of mercury. My guess at 40, you are at about 8-9 PSI.

I thought it is MM of mercury. And yes 760MM of Hg is one atmosphere. Just learned it in chem.

MMHG - Abbreviation for millimeters of mercury to measure the partial pressure of a gas.

HG being the Periodic symbol for Mercury.

Yes, it corresponds to

I posted that because you said inches of Hg not MM ;)

One atm, which is 760 mmHG is 14.696 PSI.

The top of the gauge (if its even reading right) is 400 MMHG, or about 7.374 PSI.

Merely a typographical error on my part.

Now, back to your homework...;)

Jarrett

Okay sir :(



hahahahahahahahahaha


I have to get ready for finals.:eek:

lmao, 40 psi !! and i though supras could take alot

Wow 40 psi, that is a hell of alot. I Dont know very many Turbo II models that can handle that much boost.... lol

I boosted to something like 20 lbs. once when I didn't have my MBC dialed in properly.

I spun my tires and got sideways in a blink, I almost switched lanes sideways!!

lol
 

lol man that was funny I laughed for a good 10 minutes. Your not hitting 40psi sir, thats your stock gauge and it does not read in psi. If you look really closely youll see it reads in mmhg and that does not equal psi. So next time before you post please try to put more thought and common sense in what your asking. If you knew anything about cars youd know that 40psi is an insainly large amount of boost that most cars cannot achieve.

Mine reads to 36.7psi.

You seem really grumpy for someone who just "laughed for a good ten minutes".
Give the guy a break.

word. Look at the thread, I'm sure the guy is embarassed as hell now, we all make mistakes. :)

with only 3 posts under his belt....this definetly clasifys as a NOOB.....and also it tells us that he is relatively young and does not know much.....we were all like him if not worse at one point so take it easy.

Alright guys...give the guy a break!
