LOL, I love all the newbs who have no experience in hooking up gauges (or other general maintenance) come out with all the "you cant" and he obviously in fact, "did". Everyone thinks they are a pro for driving the car, yet nobody actually works on them... Go read and learn before your fingers make you look more retarded people.
Great choice OP... I have this setup in my SRT-4: Defis "Blue Racer series... I was the first to get them into the SRT back then, right off the shipment from Japan. No step motor needed for these gauges either, which I love. What the video doesnt show due to shitty camera is the acurate start/shutdown sequence where it flashes quickly then goes to full lit, or black face for shut down. Camera just couldn't capture it.

If you knew how to analyze and read, you would notice that I didn't quote you, nor was I asking you what you did...

You should get another pair of gauges to put in front of these new ones.

Let me preface the rest by saying i'm only trying to be constructive and help you out. With that said.. Quote:
This seems to be why some think you did not tap the manifold. If you clarified it in another post in this thread, then my apologies, but I'm just pointing this out to hopefully help you understand why some people were confused. So, please don't yell at people for misreading you're posts when they are not typed very well as it can unintentionally make you out to look like the internet "ganster" as you mentioned. I'll be honest, your posts aren't much worse than mine, so I don't have a lot of room to talk. We just have to remember to try and not get upset when people misread them. Also, remember that people in general are lazy and won't read past the first few posts unless they find it really interesting, so if you posted the correction/clarification later, it was and will continue to be most likely missed by a good number of readers. Quote:
As for your boost comment. We are not morons (not always at least lol). We are just uneducated on how the n55 works at idle. In my opinion your response shows even more ignorance, granted it may not to others. Just to clarify for you, most other cars have a vacuum reading when idling. For instance, my Turbo RSX read 20 inHG to 30 inHG during a cold idle, and settled at around 15 inHG when warm. Also, just to note, my RSX was/is not the only turbocharged vehicle with a boost gauge to which I have been exposed. Thus why we asked why yours did not have a vacuum reading. I'd also recommend against the personal attacks and name calling as it will only mislead, or for some posters, help show their true character to the readers. I am not saying this is your true nature as I do not know you, I am just trying to inform you how it comes across to others. I'm sure you were just frustrated as there are some very blunt comments in the thread. Quote:

This thread was gold, OP so angry!!
What I did was run a boost line from one of the meth bungs in my ER charge pipe to my P3 gauge. Works well, but like others have said it doesn't show vacuum just boost. |

If someone hasnt said it already N55 has no manifold vac as there is no throttle body. Throttle is by valvetronic system which controls throtyle by increasing and decreasing valve lift. This is not the case on N54. The guage install depicted behaves exactly as would be expected for N55
