Boost in Park/Neutral?

[Supra5MGTE]

if i'm sitting there in neutral and rev the engine good and hard is there supposed to be any boost? B/c I don't see the boost gauge move, stays in the -4 even when I reve the crap out of it. would it have something to do with the automatic trans switch?

 

[IJ.]

nope it won't make boost with no load.

If you redline it you may see 1>2 maybe.

 

[7M-GTE]

if you have a bov other than stock it will blow off... mine does...

 

[OneJoeZee]

i can boost .5BAR in neutral lol

edit: oops, i see this is the 7M section >_<

well, i never made any boost in neutral with my 7M. maybe a little past zero, but not much

sequential Joe?

 

[OneJoeZee]

on the 1J? no way.

Must be tight on the AR then my gt30 would do it as well but it's got a .63 housing on it!

 

[MDCmotorsports]

my MODDED ct will boost like 1-2.5psi is I redline it in neutral

 

[OneJoeZee]

the stock 1J twins just spool really easy. lol. not much to it. ive seen my car go into boost before on the highway just from a small incline. no change in throttle.

I can build about 4psi. More than likely your stock gauge is a little slow and doesn't read it. Try an aftermarket boost gauge.

(bugger I had a shepherds pie for lunch but honest it was used as food not romance)!

 

[MDCmotorsports]

IJ I have visions of the movie American pie in my head... just shepherds pie instead of apple pie on the counter.

But yes you should be able to boost SOMETHING in neutral. Get a good boost gauge!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to MDCmotorsports again.

 

[MDCmotorsports]

WTF? I got the same msg for you IJ! LOL!

 

[IJ.]

LMAO I'm a bit of a rep slut I spread em around when something catches my eye so can usually rep again fairly quickly but your last one to me was back in June!

Ok, so my car isn't retarded then. I kinda have the feeling the Stock gauge is slow in the head though... Anyway to put a Autometer boost gauge in the stock location? b/c having 2 boost gauges is kinda ricer.

 

[IHI-RHC7]

It's a bit of a chore retrofitting an autometer in the dash, a good alternative is utilizing an NA dash, and getting an oem voltmeter. (i'd swap the volt meter itself, not the whole assy.)
There's a good post on fitting guages in the stock location in the general section, just do a search for custom gauges.

5M: not just a feeling, the stock guage is slow as hell.
Voltmeter in its spot is good times...

as for the topic... I saw 3 Psi in neutral once.
