Fuel Pressure Gauges

[edhgreatone]

What is the fuel pressure gauge actually measure. There are some that go up to 15 psi and are only 50 bucks. But the ones that go up to 100 psi are almost 250 dollars. Could i get away with using the 15 psi fuel pressure gauge to the greddy turbo kit setup or would the 100 psi gauge be neccessary?

 

[edhgreatone]

anybody?????

holy s**t give ppl some time, its only been an hour!!!!!!!!!!

i dont know the answer but have you found out what psi you need to be running with the greddy kit or what your stock fuel pressure is? that would be a good place to start looking for answers

You'll need one larger than 15psi. Get the 100 psi.

 

[$lick Rick]

what psi would you be running with the greddy kit? soundstreamin, your gonna be running a completely different setup than him.

 

[edhgreatone]

stock psi for awhile (5.5 i believe)

sorry father

Well considering most aftermarket Fuel Pressure Regulators flow 20 - 100 psi or whatever your fuel pump can handle, you might want a gauge that measures above 15psi.

ummmm why would you want fuel pressure??? as long as your enigne is on and running...you are getting fuel. fuel pressure doesnt really have much to do with a turbo system. sure fuel management has a great deal, but the egt will tell you all you need to know regarding fuel/air mix which will lead to you NOT needing a fuel pressure gauge.

 

[edhgreatone]

so i don't need fuel pressure just get an EGT and that will determine that I just want the very least ammount of gauges thats all somebody tell me what i need

 

[SeanMc300]

we have told you numerous times. egt, boost, oil pressure.

you could always buy the fuel pressure gauge later. If your trying to cut back on money spent, go with the first three gauges, and then get the fuel gauge later.

the 15psi guage is mainly used for carburated cars.

 

[edhgreatone]

i feel so stupid but what exactly is a "carburated cars"??

 

[$lick Rick]

you dont know what a carburator is?
it's what all cars had before fuel injection



trivia fact: the very first model of corvette used an early form of fuel injection and was not carborated.

 

[edhgreatone]

so the 15 psi gauge is a waste of money basically

how's about this... go to an auto parts store and ask them, if they dont know then you shouldnt buy anything from them anyways. then move onto another auto parts store.... lather rinse repeat.....

for fuel pressure...yes.
