Ok sorry guys for my english im french canadian!
I got a blue SS last week, but i cant remember how was the pressure gauge when i got it, but now im looking more at it and its seems weird.....

Its like 40 under 0 when i dont push on the gaz but when I push on the gaz its goes up

Sorry im stupid, but is it normal? Or I need to get it fix?

Thank!

I love my new SS :P I had a Focus SVT before wich i loved too, but Focus model is getting old!

Thank!

C'est normal le SC ne pousse presque pas si tu donne pas du gaz, il y a un retour d'air dans l'entré d'air si tu ne donne pas assez de gaz, dans se cas la la pression devient négative car c'est le moteur qui aspire l'air et non le SC qui donne l'air au moteur, Y'a un petit vidéo sur le moteur en fonction qui t'e montre ça http://www.usol.com/~cable/Video/Ecotec2.mpg

 

yes normal, your gauge is reading the vacuum created by the engine when the throttle is closed. When you open it, there is less vacuum (plus the positive pressure added as the blower spins up.)


That is pretty optimistic for vacuum, I would say your gauge is not terribly accurate. I would expect to see -30 (gauge) or thereabouts when the throttle is closed. (if my metric conversions are correct, a bit rusty with them...)

 

Salut, moi aussi j'ai fait l'acquisition d'une ss bleue et sa fait la meme choses, y a t'il d'autre quebecois sur ce forum, j'aimerais beaucoup savoir ? Merci!

 

Salut moi aussi je suis de Québec, j'ai un SS rouge, moi aussi je crois que cela fait la même chose, mais le plus important c'est combien de boost en KPA tu obtiens lorsque tu as la pédale à fond, je crois que cela doit être environ 85 KPA à plein régime ....

 

Oui, c'est vrai!!

 

ohh man I gotta learn to write french, it looks so cool with all those accent a goo's

 

12.5 PSI is 86.18 kilopascals. This is a great site for all conversions. Check it out.

im only getting 80 :S.... so what si that 10psi ?

 

Just under 12 psi. Multiply your kpa by 6.9 and that is your psi.

 

so should i worrie what are u getting? u gettign ur 12.5?

 

salut les boys, j'ai un SS bleu et je suis de chicoutimi.. très satisfait jusqu'à présent...au plaisirs de ce croisé

 

Oops I meant divide your kpa by 6.9, sorry lol. Since day 1 the car was boosting at 80 kpa (11.5 psi). I broke the car in with lotsa revs since day one and it runs strong. I see 85ish kpa (12.3 and >) constantly since about 400 km on the clock, I have 2300 kms now.

 

O Bout Pascal! LOL
