what about these gauges?? Options

[celicaGT96]

I know that they are cheap oviously, but this is the look I want, and I dont want to spend a lot of money on gauges. My question is what is the gauge reading in, cuz it isnt psi is it?
Also if I get a good manual boost controller, will this gauge be do-able.........link

[orvillescelica]

looks like positive pressure is in bars and vacuum is in cm of Hg

[celicaGT96]

uuggh, so it what is bars, I see it says bars on the side but... Im sorry i dont follow

[BBoYRuGGeD]

i got smoked black tinted gauges...these things are hard to see in the daytime

Ohh man, and thats cuz I really like the way your gauges look. Pure sexiness, I just dont want to spend that much on gauges, like I said earlier

[celicaGT96]

Ok, correct me if Im wrong but 1 bar is about 14.50 psi right, so where would that put you 5sfters on a bar gauge, cuz I know yall aint hitting 14 psi?

[jayi12-15psi]

thats about right, 1 bar equals 1 atmospheric pressure. or I think 14.7 psi

[shin]

yea 1 bar is 14.7psi. i'm hitting half a bar as of now. so it's around 7-8 psi. and who said 5sfters can't hit 14psi. manny hit 14.5psi once BUT! i don't or neither would manny recommend anyone to go that range. that's to dangerous. remember. stock 5sfe is not meant for boost, people who attempts that are risking their engine to blow..

^^^^oohh, really? Did he get dynoed at 14 psi, or just fartin around, cuz thats pretty impressive

[lagos]

my only recomendation is to try to find a gauge that reads only around the boost level you know you will ever run in the car. getting something like a 30psi gauge would be overkill on a celica, stick to something that reads 15-20 psi max. that way the needel will have a nice range of motion and the numbers will be spaced out more and easy to read.

he did that on the track.

he hit 14psi on the dyno and 15psi on the track. With his current setup he creeps to 10 or more pretty easily
