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.

Got Rice?

Bye.

dont laugh but you can get a blow off valve for na cars off e bay as well ... wow what a combo ,,,,, your boost gauge &pod filter , and a bov .... my goodness the chicks would be climbing over each other to get to you!!!

you son are a nerd

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'..

Nvious I remember you talking about this a while ago I never thought you would actully do it. Bloody wondefull lol.

sik choung sik.

ur too sik.. go to docter

pssssschhhtttt


sick work nvious lmao haha !

hahahahaa, Love it

oh god...........

hahahaha that is gold....personally i wouldnt bother and just get a turbo.

Dongaz

I just had some spare time on my hands.
Was at a mate's house stuffing around with a mate's 180sx and thought when we finish........................boost gauge... we all just laughed for ages when we hooked it up

hahahaha if I do that to my existing gauge I could run 2bar+

How do you not have a Honda nvious?!?! You'll never be a true ricer until you get one, do it!

bwahahahhahaaa

Cause I don't want to...

I want my mention in this.. I charge 30bucks an installation..

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

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.

lol funny shit

I never thought I'd live to see the day...

that is the best idea ever! no, seriously. i'm going to put that on either a bicycle or a minibus, whichever i find first. hats off to ya mate, beats my blow off noise CD!!!

Thanks mate.
I'm giving up the rice mods for a while.
But don't worry, I'll make a big scene when I'm back into it.

You must have alot of spare time.

n wtf r u gonna do with a bov on an na?!?!
unless its a cd:
track 1- bov sound:supra
track 2--bov sound:r32
track 3-bov sound:evoV

lolzzzzzzzz

^^ hey thats a good idea, have a good stereo install and pump the bov sounds

nvious, do you want to merge your ricing company with Blend 43 racing?

For sure mate!

your not a true ricer untill you have milo tin exhausts, shame on you nvious

Ha, milo tin exhausts. There's an old subaru all wheel drive wagon gettin around Kingston with that look goin, saw it the other day. Nearly died of laugh induced heart failure

my mate put a computer CPU fan in front of his air intake on his hilux. it worked for about 3 days and then colapsed. every one looked wen we went down the street. funny stuff

^^how did that work^^

what did it do?

d00d ive been looking high and low for a fake bov!!! i need one now!

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.

thats mad!! where abouts is the Throttle Body?

it's things like this that make me ashamed of driving a pulsar.

stupid post purple pulsar

he could be driving a ford and still wanted to make a fake boost gauge.
He just showed how it was done in a pulsar which would be the same for other cars

the point being that it was in a pulsar, not a ford. really it doesnt matter what make/ model of car it was done in, its lame.

though each to their own, some people are into that kind of thing.

hye, dont forget this!

2 much time on your hands!!!.......

Hey one of the first posts was a na blow off vave are these real where do u get them?

^ LOL

^ LOL x 2

im gonna run out now and get some boost for my honda...

man i want a real turbo i dont want to be harsh but that is horrible. it just sits at the same level all the time???? anyone looking at it would be able to tyell straight away and if there is a guage mounted somewhere obvious half the time u just think its an oil guage or somin. good luck with it man but i think u need to get out a bit more hey. and not rely on a fake boost gauge to get laid.

jeez everyone is taking this so seriously..

IT WAS A JOKE!!! but pretty cool haha

This is so old man.

I think you should be open-minded.. and grow a sense of humour because it was a joke.

haha very funny motherfcuker!
