Vacuum Gauge (reviews)

[Hola]

Hi Tech experts!

Many of you may have seen vacuum gauge beign fixed to the cars,(some say mainly ricers ). This is done (as i heard) by connecting the vacuum gauge to intake manifold vacuum to get the reading. This is kind of a interior decorating item for cars but there is some usuefull readings too. These are freely available around 6,000-8,000

  Quote

This shows the difference between outside atmospheric pressure and the amount of vacuum present in the intake manifold.

Is there any side effects of this? In other words since we are making a bypass to the intake, will it give any long term issue like leaks etc?

the first time i ever saw one was on that grey RX8 as posted on the forums last week...

anyways its supposed to be an excellent diagnostics tool for Normally Aspirated cars

now that i know what exactly it does i'm thinking of getting one my self

Hey Devinda, I found one for 6500. But need to get a holder. You can fix the gauge only to the body as well

machan i was wondering....the guage is wired to detect the presure from the intake manifold or just before the throttle body?

cuz i've got TWO throttle bodies - so how would i go ab installing it??

How come you have to throtle bodies? Whats your car machang?

[Devinda_Z]

300zx né machan - so V6 - so i've got a Throttle body for Each bank

so its confusing me to figure out how on earth it would be possible to fix what ever receptor end of this gauge...

[Hola]

I dont know if it makes sense to fix 2. Anyway check this site out,it may help http://home.flash.net/~rjgeorge/tnotes.htm

[Devinda_Z]

i doubt i need 2 gauges- that doesnt make sense bro - but i'll need 2 of what ever it is that takes the vacume pressure reading from within the engine as i have places from where air/fuel mix is sucked in...

anyone have any ideas on how to even try??

[Hola]

We can always ask Porkster. Wait till i alert him on this for you

Yes, sorry DevZ. I went yesterday and they said 3000 for the one with black dial which lights up when we switch on the engine and some 1000 odd for the other model. They gave me a number of a guy who does all these stuff and who is an expert. I heard its a 3 hour job machang.

[Devinda_Z]

u should get it - it seems good - when u do have it installed ask the guy abt how mine would have to be wired as well pls...

Yeah man, i noticed you are the top poster everyday with over 50% of the share is from you. Crazy

Yes, good to know the mechanics. Whats your next car in mind?

hey what can i say "i love autolanka"

but u'll wont be seeing much of me next week cuz i'll be busy with exams

hmmmm still havent decided on what exactly....i'd like to get a Defender shor wheel base with the new electronic injection TD5 engine - but only one that i know of n dunno hoow much he wants now - last time i checked it was very expensive

havent really decided - but it'll most probabaly be a vehicle that can take rough use - cuz with the Z its been "babä wage" maintained - i dont have the patience to be that carful so need somthing like a jeep or a proper Rally car which will take some punishment!
