Can an Isspro 80 lb. Boost gauge be used to measure "drive pressure"? Or is the "drive pressure" normally higher than that?

 

Ideally drive pressure is less than boost.. So 80psi should be fine... If going to be installed long term check out XLR8R's TIP setup.... Basically a coiled copper line to keep from melting the gauge line with a filter to keep the soot out of the gauge and a tee so you can run your pyro still without drilling another hole... Works pretty slick

 

Thanks Bnold. I'll check it out. His site is lazarsmith, right?

 

I lie the drive pressure to be about 1:1 or slightly less at high boost.

This is due to surging issues more than anything else.

Lazars stuff is sweet

im gettin one on order next week... top notch stuff

An 80psi gauge will be fine for most 24Vs, but I like the 0-100psi flavor, since turbine inlet pressure can run pretty high on the HE351s with Smarty fueling.

Our TIP gauge kit uses 304SS tubing & manifold fittings, which can mount into the same hole as your EGT probe. They connect directly to your nylon boost tubing (supplied with gauge) through a filter assembly. The condensate coils protect the delicate boost gauge from 1600*F+ and the assembly can clock to fit any turbo(s) setup.
