Alright, your all probably thinking OMGWTFUNBELIEVABLE!

A man once said, "I have a dream" [Martin Luther King].
So I have accomplished the dream of all ricers from all around the world whom desire to go the VERY cheap way to make it look like you're running boost.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR NATURALLY ASPIRATED CAR RUN BOOST- more like how to make it look like it's running boost.

Step 1:
You'll need a crap boost gauge (In psi or bar doesn't matter) but it has to look good (for the Chicks factor).
Heres the one I got.

Step 2:
Open up the front of the gauge or whereever it opens up.

Now that it is open, pull the needle out and adjust it whereever you want it to hit - eg; My gauge shows 0.9bar of boost but when you connect it you can also adjust the needle to where the needle sits on idle.

Step 3:
Connect the vacuum hose etc; in your engine bay and put the hose through the firewall on where you want to mount it - where do you hook up the vacuum hose to? it should be just after the throttle body as it was on my engine.
Probably best to get expert help from a person who knows their stuff as all engine bays are different.

NOTE: Wheres my pod filter? Oh, its properly secured, enclosed and hidden.

Step 4:
Mount it somewhere; whereever you like it to be. Make sure you don't put the cover back onto the gauge yet as you may want to adjust the needle more.
I have mounted mine there just for show but has now been taken out - I got bored of it.

Last Step:
Turn your car on............
Watch where the needle sits on idle.
Adjust if you wish to your liking, I have adjusted mine so it sits on 0psi on idle.
But when you switch the car off it will go back to where I have mounted the needle at (0.9bar boost).

Heres what it looks like when it's all finished and I've given it a few revs.

N.B: Might I suggest you install a pod filter for induction noise - goes quite well with the gauge.

So what this does it, once you turn the car on it puts the bar to a certain level? and it just sits there

Well... If I had the needle on 0psi where is where it was when you buy it.. it would ONLY show vacuum.
So I adjusted the needle to point at 0.6bar and it idles at 0psi but when you turn your back off it goes back to 0.6bar

can i suggest a modification.?

get yourself an air horn, and run the hose to the guage instead of the horns. put a variable resistor in to control the compressor. this adjusts the amount ot rice boost you are running.

if you are clver, set up a lever system with either your accelerator pedal or throttle cable so that the switch is turned as you accelerate.

He's done it so that when at idle, it sits at 0psi, and when under load (full throttle etc) it'll go to 14psi.

Basically it will move etc, and appear to go into boost when the car is under load... a N/A car will bounce back/forth from vacuum to 0psi, so he's moved the needle up to make it look like it gets positive pressure or 'boost'..

Sorry, Thanks to 51EKA for teh phat installation.
Obviously done at mate's rates hsdance.gif

Well if you want to find the right gauge to do this..
Find one like mine.. search around for "Swoosh" or "Race Tech R"
If they are over $50, they are overpriced.
Don't go buying Autometer ones thinking it will work because I'm not responsible for your stuff ups - Autometer is expensive to stuff around with.

does your stereo have a aux input for noise??

I saw this done thismorning in a shitty mazda 121...

plug a microphone into it... drive down the street with your stereo on as loud as it will go... when you change gear YELL INTO THE MICROPHONE "BLOW OFF VALVE!!!!!"

as i said.. seen it done today with a 1980's model mazda 121... actually saying the words BLOW OFF VALVE really added to the hilarity.
