Bleed Valves? Which One Do U Use?


Recommended Posts

Guest RedLineGTR

rs73 electronics could stuff up more quickly then some mechanical ways...eg heat from enigine, u know how electronics are sometimes unpredicatble and can fail etc etc...do u have a boost gauge or anything..i know some people set thiers up on a dyno and let it be...but its not always the best way to make sure everything is running good..

I have no money (cash strap) to justify spending like $200 at that time. And as the bleed valve has been dynoed 3 times and did not spike, I was led to believe that it would never spiked.

Now it has spiked, the law of physic has defeat the valve, and detonates my engine :)

I've learn the hard way. Do not let the same thing that happens to me, happens to you too. So please don't judge me now, I've got enough headache with the problem and $$$ to try to fix this by:

- replacing the bleed valve with EBC

- getting my engine checked out thoroughly

- getting a more reliable boost gauge

At least i'm lucky the car is still running and turbo is still boosting (set to std boost 7psi now)...

yeah, no use whinging now...

Just get it replaced... my target is i wanna see a CONSISTENT 160rwkw minimum out of my car before the end of 2003.

If that target is fulfilled, next year I will aim for 180rwkw, then 200rwkw before end of 2004.

I have the GFB Atomic. Its pretty good; very little spiking. I recommend it. However boost tapers off about 1 psi up at the top end (past 6krm). But i think thats a charateristic of most bleeders and only a EBC can fix.. Btw Im running the stock cooler so that could be the problem...
