Hi there

 

Can some one tell me how the boost pressure measurement works on these twin turbo cars?

Whats confusing is that on a single turbo car you feed the boost gauge from the throttle or thereabouts and you get your reading - simple.

On the twin turbo z though the reading comes from the balance bar which evens the boost out between the turbos. My question is that when you are running 14psi (for example) is that the boost both turbos are running or are they running 7 psi each.

If both turbos were running 14 psi i would have thought that would give a reading of 28 psi? :confused:

Please help

its like this mate,iff your back wheels where 30psi each and you put a piece of rubber tube between them you would still have 30psi but only more volume.iff one was 20psi and the other 30psi the one with the highest pressure would drop to compansate the other resulting in a pressure between 20 and 30------------------ime led to believe :)

Cheers mate.
