Hi All,

Is the standard Escort Cos boost guage accurate as mine only goes upto the red dot after it says 1.3 bar and I am sure it used to go further round past that but am not 100% sure. It should go further than that shouldnt it for stage 3 (24 psi)?

Cheers
Dan

 

About as accurate as the speedo and revcounter (in other words, not very ).

 

funny that... before it melted.. my esc cos speedo was spot on to the Tom Tom Go that was in it!

 

Perhaps the spring has weakened and it's not holding boost as well as it used to?

 

I have just had my clutch done on my car so I was checking things out a lot more last night when driving it for the first time since so I am not sure if its dropped since I have had the clutch done or it was like that before.
On another note cheers for the great service Mike. I am impressed with the AP Organic clutch. I thought there was a problem with my gearbox because it had always been pretty hard to get it in second when accelerating hard with my old clutch even when new, but it goes in fine now with the Organic one .

 

I have standard boost gauge with larger scale by Suhe Motorsport in germany and it's suprasingly accurate. Shows exactly the same as my tuners pro boost manometer he takes out in cars to check boost.

 

Dave you flid, you have 18" wheels, which gear it up by 10mph, so fitting bigger wheels MAKES it accurate (I thought you were clever ). If you had the standard ones on, you would have found a big disparity .

Dan,
No problem .

 

Wel talking about speedo - mine shows TOO SMALL speeds at 200+ kph. At 6500 rpm it shows only about 240kph.

 

My speedo was only a couple of mph out vs PF's timing gear

 

Bill,
Ducks don't count .
