Supercharger Boost guage

Postby m4vr1k » Wed Jan 03, 2007 1:08 pm

Hey guys, i have done a bit of a search, and couldnt find anything, Im looking at running an SC14 supercharger on my S13 Silvia, and want to know about boost guages. Does a supercharger require one? and if so, would you plumb it into the same place as you would with a turbo?
cheers

would think so. as into the intake system below supercharger.

point to note is that your readings will be less boost seen on turbo cars but may show full boost as low as idle, and taper off as revs rise. it depens on how its installed and is running.

no i havent got a supercharger so can anyone elce say from experince?

Okay, i had heard that the way that superchargers ran was different. In that case, excellent!

Now i will return to saving for all the bits i need.
