Crotch Fruit posted:Because it's even cheaper and slower than the 4 cylinder Mustang. Seriously, WTF Ford? I've driven the 4-cylinder turbo ecoboost Mustang for a few days (rental), and while it's not a bad little engine it's just not proper. I feel stupid driving along in that thing doing 30MPG. I've driven the V6 one (2013 model I think it was), and it did feel a lot better engine-wise. Not sure what's up with the turbo lag, I've driven other cars with turbocharged I4's of similar displacement and power (2-2.5L, 300-ish HP) and lag was never as noticeable as with this. Also, it has terrible OCD car stuff. Among the gimmicky electronic gauges you can choose from, one is intake manifold pressure ("Boost/vacuum"). It has different units for positive and negative pressure. I don't care if it's common use or ancient tradition, it really bugs me.  I'm returning it tomorrow, with the gauge/ambient light set to bright pink, because My Little Ponycar.

He didn't shift, he lifted sharply with the wheels cranked over so it snapped around. The three options for not hitting the curb: 1. don't do retarded poo poo 2. stay on throttle as you correct 3. both feet in and hope it slides to a stop in the lane.

My 2nd guess was lift, but I thought the rpm difference sounded like another gear up. Never lift or shift.

It doesn't have different units, that gauge is all PSI. I'm not sure why they decided to put inHG on the left. Let's put it this way, if it ACTUALLY did 30 inHG, that would be 60PSI of vacuum. Good luck with that.

I might be wrong, but standard atmosphere is 29.92 inHg, so drawing 30 inches of vacuum at sea level would basically be 100% vacuum - zero air pressure.

MikeyTsi posted:It doesn't have different units, that gauge is all PSI. I'm not sure why they decided to put inHG on the left. InHg is a common unit for vacuum and 30 on the gauge is effectively zero absolute pressure (going from InHg to psi you need to divide by two.) The gauge may seem odd, but it's using common units both for boost and vacuum.

Yeah both those gauges measure gauge pressure (just in different units), not absolute pressure. So boost is PSI above ambient and vacuum is inHg below. If you just used an absolute pressure gauge you'd have to do mental math to get that info anyway. E: And in fact you'd need a second sensor to measure ambient pressure, so it gets even more complicated with two needles/gauges, unless you just display the difference... which is what that display and every other one like it are doing. Much like how we don't use temp gauges marked in Kelvin.

MikeyTsi posted:You're wrong. I think you've got something backwards. It should read zero when off, but atmospheric pressure is around 14.7psi, if that gauge is displaying -20psi, then ugh, congrats on the negative absolute pressure, go collect your Nobel prize.

They should just make it read bar anyways. Enough people are likely heard of it that they will kind of get it and the gauge will be just as useful and useless still.

The really sad thing is I can say with 100% certainty that this guy works the same place I do, because I work at the only place in town that would pay someone this loving stupid enough money to do that to a car. Someone else I work with isn't a moron and bought a GT-R with his too much money. Meanwhile I'm in a lower-caste job and driving a completely rusted out 94 miata.

My sources say quite the opposite. 30 inHg ≈ 15PSI (and 30PSI ≈ 60inHg) MikeyTsi posted:Hint: the gauge should measure at 0 when the car is off. No, when the car is off, that gauge (which is an entirely computerized lcd panel) turns off as well.  "20 vacuums" is what it says at idle (as in the pic), which sounds pretty reasonable to me (about 0.7 bar).

It could be set to civilized units (that gauge was then in bars, also made fuel consumption be in L/100km and other nice things), but I kept it in heathen mode to have the cruise control display match the "MPH" signs by the side of the road. That boost gauge is just a gimmick anyway, mostly just tells you how far you've pressed down the gas pedal.

I read that as mmHg and got confused as gently caress because I'm used to kilopascals. That conversion was super off. Your MAP sensor should be reading 1atm at WOT on an N/A car. Phone fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Sep 24, 2015 |

Gauge pressure is the way any boost/vacuum should be measured. I'm guessing they used mmHg for vacuum so that the dial could be hemispherical instead of missing half of the vacuum measurement.
