A boost gauge in an internal combustion engine has the role of a pressure gauge. The gauge indicates the manifold's air pressure or a turbocharger or supercharger's boost pressure.
either your gauge/sensor or your thermostat or both need replacing. Internal combustion engines do not run cool
boost pressure, as you call it, will not show on gauge,if you have one, while engine is at idle the turbo pressure does not boost but runs all the time according to the revs of engine
How to install a boost gauge in a acura integra?"
Easiest way is to get a Manual Boost controller. Something like a GFB MBC (Manual Boost controller) is a very easy way to raise the boost. (Google GFB) A Boost gauge is also mandatory if you raise the boost...otherwise you might turn it up to much and destroy the engine!
A feeler gauge is typically used to measure dynamic valve clearance in internal combustion engines. The gauge is inserted between the valve stem and the rocker arm to determine the correct clearance while the engine is running.
If you are going to start tinkering with your boost levels this is what you need to do: Purchase the following: An accurate boost gauge. Electronic boost controller Fuel Pressure regulator Air Fuel Ratio gauge Wide band O2 sensor Have these parts PROFESSIONALLY installed and pay the money to get it tuned. If you just get a boost controller put on and give it a crank your fuel will lean out and your engine will detonate. Also it might not be a bad idea to get a fuel controller from Apexi. That will cost you though. So will the O2 sensor. You can get away without one, but you should just leave the boost alone after its tuned.
One can purchase a boost meter or gauge from Jegs and Glow Shift Direct. These meters can also be bought at Treadstone Performance, Egauges and Sunmit Racing.
either because your not running enough boost or your a moron
An internal caliper gauge.
Definitely! I had this problem diagnosed and found that the gas gauge is fine, but the internal float sticks and this is a common problem. Obviously the "Check Engine Soon" comes on because of this and the gas gauge is almost always incorrect.
The boost sending is a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) that goes in a braket behind a top engine. There is a connector with three pins (ABC) and a hose connecting the MAP to exaust system. Malachias
