Okay Fellas & Ladies-
I have been researching this site for a long time. Just became a member. I like to keep things simple and plain and in order. I worked on and around Cars and Trucks since I was a little boy. Worked as a Mechanic for Nissan and Buick for many years, until I changed my line of work. Lot's of good info here, but it can get a bit Either, confusing or time consuming to find SIMPLE answers to SIMPLE questions. Let's see if we could start a section, just for that....a Reference Page. I realize that it would be necessary to have one for each generation. To start let's go with the BASICS!!! A starting point for many that want to know, an average for 2nd generation Engine:

1. Fuel Pressure: with a STOCK lift pump AT FILTER housing:
A) Idle=
B) Cruise=
C) Wide open=

2. Fuel Pressure: with AFTERMARKET lift pump AT FILTER housing(Average):
A) Idle=
B) Cruise=
C) Wide Open=

3. Boost Pressure: with STOCK Turbo AT MANIFOLD:
A) Idle?=
B) Cruise=
C) Wide Open=

4. Boost Pressure: with elbow mod, other Mod AT MANIFOLD:
A) Idle?=
B) Cruise=
C) Wide Open=

It can start here with these BASIC questions. Maybe we could have a seperate page with all the answers and more. A SIMPLE list of Oil Pressures, Exhaust gas temps, Etc... Start by filling out the answers to these questions above and see where it goes??

Cheers,
David D.
