Group Buy Pneumatic Boost Control

[Bass Junky]

Okay,

Just to let you all know, I'm not going ahead with the group buy.

I'm not really all that happy with the boost control.

It surges a bit, like when it comes on boost it will open the first valve and then the wastegate will open and then boost will drop off a touch and then come back on again.

Also, it will jolt the car as the wastegate opens, which is strange to me....

Boost rises and then as the wastegate opens, and the exhaust note changes, the car jolts forward quite hard. It's very weird, I don't like it.

I think I'm going to get a PowerFC boost up kit for when I install the Power FC and be done with it.

You set it up wrong, that's why it does that.

You need to close the first valve off a bit...

if you have a wastegate actuator rated at 5psi, your relief valve set to 11 psi, and your regulator set to 10psi, then it will behave badly as you have noticed.

I had the same problem when i first played around with mine, but then I figured out how to re-adjust them, and it works perfectly for me...

Why don't you Zahos start a new group buy and charge a small installation fee because it seems like you know what you are doing.

If you start again and I can see how it is....I'll be in.

hahaha, I knew someone would say that....

1. I REALLY CBF starting a group buy - sorry guys

2. I would feel bad charging people, thus I would not bother installing for people

3. I don't have the time....

I could tell you where to get everything though, to set it up yourself...

look for IMI Norgren Pty Ltd in the white pages. Call and order the following:

• 1 x R07-200-RNKG Inline 07 ¼ Regulator Relieving 7Bar
  
• 1 x V07-200-NNKG Inline 07 ¼ Relief Valve 7 Bar
  
• 2 x 2069-02 07 Spring 0.7 Bar (brown)
  

Maybe ask if they have a spring rated to 1 bar instead of a 0.7 bar spring

then go to enzed (heaps around) and get:

brass York 23151-06 3/8-inch check valve, (or equivalent, as long as the cracking pressure is less than say 2psi)

and hoses + barbed fittings + clamps to suit. Speak to the guys at Enzed about the hoses, fittings and clamps, they should sort you out.

The valves come with their own brackets, and I mounted mine next to the air box in the engine bay.
