90611, I've Got Boost! Posted by EclipseTenzoR, Oct-12-05 06:46 PM
I am finally boosted and it feels fantastic. Too bad its been raining all week here but I did get a little dry time to enjoy it. But I was breaking traction in at from a roll at 45 when I hit full boost at 5psi. But for only 5psi it feels nice when the high end power kicks in usually boost starts at 2800 and full at 3300. As for my cartech I am suprised because it seems to be working well steady full pressure at 40psi and sometimes goes down to around 38 at the lowest.

if you've got stock injectors 40psi at idle is pretty low, according to hahn you should be between 47 and 55 psi at idle
congrats though

Very low mang. Aim for 50 psi. I thought you didn't have the kit yet but congrats either way. Just keep an eye on that fuel pressure.

I'm taking it easy.. Shitty thing now is my drivers side strut is totally fucking anihilated and the piston snapped off the top, so now the car is undriveable because all I hear is plunk... grr plunk.. Tommorow my prokits come so I can install them along with thew new strut then I'll enjoy boosting some more.. I can't get the cartech to raise my fuel pressure though. I am turning the screw but its not going past 40psi

Wecome to the wonderful world of boost! Now can you imagine driving your car without it? Pics of your set would be nice...I would love to see it.

Boost is nice. I'm actually thinking about supercharging my 3-series.

I miss my eclipse too. Between school, working at the bank and working out at the gym after work, I'm only at my apartment for about 3 hours before I have to go to sleep. I haven't had too much time to check the forum lately. That's why I haven't been around much.

Probably in richy mcrichville with his bmw. lol, j/k.
I bet that boost is nice. Maybe one day I'll save up enough to get it. I'll have to do it all secret like though, so the gf doesn't know I've spent that much on something.
