just curious I am getting around 20-22 psi at idle is that normal??
( sorry if this has been covered before )

how much vac. do you normaly pull?

My maftpro measures it more accurately then my boost gauge... it shows -12.2psi = -24.8in Hg
If your guage does read in psi you x by 2.036 to convert it to get in Hg.

yea the vac. on my gauge reads in Hg. sorry
and when I stomp on the gas and left off it instantly goes to like 24 or so.
then at adle I get around 22.
and getting a max of 7 psi right now....
offtopic: but how much oil psi does your stock gauge normally read..
mine gets to 40psi when cold, but in normal driving or w/e ir goes from alittle under the first mark ( at idle ) and then just under the 40 mark when higher rpm..
is that normal?

7 psi of what? Boost? If so that's fine. And what does "w/e ir" mean?
The vacuum is normal and the sign of a healthy engine. It should dip lower than idle when the throttle is blipped. The oil is also normal assuming you're running around a 30-40W for hot viscosity. Relax, you're good to go.

w/e ir
means
what ever
and the IR is a typo for IT because the R is close to the T and I type so fast sometimes I hit the wrong key and dont notice, sorry

I just finished my head gasket and it has been running EXTREMELY well.
so I am satisfied.
thanks guys!

thanks guys!
what's with the avc-r
mine reads -.480> -.500 mm/hg < is that normal at idle,
and why is it measured like this? any way to change it?

At sea level the weight of the atmosphere (ATM) due to gravity is generally around 14.7 psi on a 59 F day. That means if you could balance a square inch of atmosphere about 60 miles tall on your palm it'd weigh that much. If you filled a tube with water and up-ended it in a dish the weight of the ATM would push the water up the tube 33 feet. That's a big tube so heavier mercury is used instead. In that case the mercury will be pushed up the tube 29.92 inches. It's the barometer you're probably familiar with from weather reports. 29.92 in/hg, 33 feet of water, or 14.7 psi is all the same. 29.92 inches also happens to be 760 millimeters. It's the metric measurement of in/hg.
actually I didnt graduate high schooljetjock said:
thanks for the info.
I could do w/out the asshole attitude though thanks!
No asshole attitude intended. Seems they've pretty much stopped teaching science in most US schools. Another high school wash out huh? I noticed there are several here. Sad. Usually makes for a very tough life.
