What Boost are you running?? Mine set at a safe 0.9 bar on stock twins. Anyone running any higher???

Ive been running 14psi for about 3 yrs on twins. Only getting 270bhp so taking it to get mapped soon.

Running 0.8bar normal and have 0.9 bar if i want a bit more fun or need to empty wallet!

Does it drain the fuel even more if its any higher than 0.8?  
 
Got no idea what mine is, is there an easy way to tell?

As I understand it, higher boost means more air in the intake - so you have to pump more fuel in, to maintain a safe air/fuel ratio...  so yes - increasing boost pressure will also up the fuel usage...

As to how you check your boost - get a boost guage (or look at the commander, if you have an apexi...)

When doesn\'t a Rx7 drain the fuel??? Well theres alot of people running a bar, so i think mines getting cranked up for Oulton Park in December. My mates got a P1 Impreza running 350 bhp, and im un-healthly competative haha :burnout

0.8bar on stock twins - think i might ask Pip to up it next time i\'m over that way :D

oh, and just to be pedantic \'cos i\'m in that kind of mood - your boost is actually measured in bar gauge or psi gauge :P

Simply saying bar or psi means you\'d actually be pulling a vacuum and sucking air/fuel OUT of the engine....
Work hard, play hard house :D
