Ok, I got a 93SC and its basically bone stock except for the shifter, the wires, plugs and thermostat. Anyway, none of this means squat to help it run. All of that was added at the time of the HG replacement. Well my car most of the time will hit about 10 or nudge past it on the boost gauge at most.
To start it off I had my 9 year old sun with me and he is a total gear head. He buys his own hot rod mags. Generally import Krap. I am sitting at a light with him and this older Acura Legend V6 with exhaust pulls up. He looks over with the cocky look. Ofcourse my son says "get him dad" (no I dont race with my son in the car) but this time my car got a wild hair and I lost my thoughts of him in the passenger seat.
Long story short, I dog him off the line and Im watching the rpm's and my son yells "Dad! look your boost is 20" Ok its a stock gauge and he really doesnt understand the gauge yet atleast at that moment. I look down and the boost is more than half way between 10 and 15. It was like 13.5 or 14. I was freaking. It pulled that into third where it dropped off.
So Im extatic and thinking my gauge is broke. So the next light I feather the clutch and dog it again. Again it pulled like 13.5 or 14 lbs of boost. What ever the case the slow cruze home had me in amazement and a long conversation with a nine year old car freak on steroids about boost levels and gauges.
Has anyone else had a freak day and wonder why it just does that. These cars are really Fickle woman. (No offense ladies)
