Jazmac Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Does the above work? I have a analouge turbo boost gauge fitted(Neddle style on steering colum) to my car already??
jasonb Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 do you mean can you turn your boost up using a manual boost valve and your analouge gauge?
Jazmac Posted June 4, 2005 Author Posted June 4, 2005 turn my boost up, i only mentiond my gauge cos i heard u needed one for it to work??
drb5 Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 I have one for sale very soon. Turbosmart one....if your interested?
jcscoob Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 you need a gauge for your own info, and yes a Manual Boost valve works fine just not as staible as electronic job, just wot you can aford @ the time. i have Manual Boost valve but plan to go electronic as soon as i can. hope this helps m8 Ps, drb5's turbosmart fella should be a good bye !!!!
spooks Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Just dont go daft with how much you alter the boost, remember your altering the boost without altering the fuel so potentially it can run lean at higher boosts. I was always gonna fit one to my bugeye but Im too old and sensible for all this moding malarky...... Spooks
drb5 Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Cheers JC. Just as Spooks says, don't go mad with it. If yours is a UK turbo, then i suggest setting the controller to about 1.14 BAR MAX. That's just below fuel cut and in a safe enough area.
jasonb Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 if you want to run a higher boost pressure than 15psi you will need to get an uprated fuel pressure regulator and get it set for the boost you want otherwise you will melt a piston i have a dawes valve you can have for £15 and they are easy to setup
Jazmac Posted June 8, 2005 Author Posted June 8, 2005 would this be ok to fit without a fuel pressure regulator upgrade, it has a max adjustable range 0 bar to 1.3bar (0- 18.9PSI) Max. pressure limited to 1.3 bar to prevent engine damage. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 i would love to mod my car to the highest spec but the problem is i need to use it for buisness and as it is i clock up approx 100miles a day so you can imagine my fuel bill at present.
dougster Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I have a dawes and it works fine without any fueling mods.
