Wiring A Boost Gauge On A Supercharger?

06_civic_si_gi · 02-09-2010, 01:28 AM

soo yeah i got mine wired up but it doesnt show boost it just shows vacuum... around -20 then when the charger whines up it goes up to 0 but never goes pass it..

that normal? or did i tap into the wrong line i have it tapped into a line that goes back the the tb should i have it tapped into a different one?

If I'm not mistaken, CT-e has a little adapter fitting/barb that they sell for use with a boost gauge, not sure where it goes, as I haven't seen the blower first hand yet, so I couldn't tell ya if it's even really needed at all.

Yeah the barb is needed, that's why your not seeing boost, order the barb.

The barb mounts after the screws in the blower so you will definitely see boost then.

for my c/t i put it in the line under the charger where there is like the wastegate or whatevere its called there that goes into the intake manifold. mine reads great. although i have a digital autometer boost gauge and it doesnt work unless you turn it on before you start the car cause it like zero's itself out everytime or something

He doesn't have the CT Kit!!!

***PainIs4ThaWeak*** · 02-09-2010, 10:52 AM

Well the OP sure didn't mention that did he?

lol

(Course it was my fault for steering everyone towards the idea that he had a CT kit,

again. Sorry for assuming)

Not a problem, the only reason why I knew was because he posted pics of his install in a thread in the SC section
