Boost controller fitted. see what you mean Mo .. how easy is that now. rod set back to standard, FIP not touched. Boost now is 14psi at approx 3000rpm in 3rd flooring it up the best hill I could find on this snooker table I live on. feels sooo much better. thanks all for tips, pics and links

Can’t remember what I paid now to be honest quality was very good though. checked that pipe for kinks and blockages.. all seems good. Manual boost control just arrived . Rod set back to original position. Gonna leave it til tomorrow now.. weather permitting. spent today reading through mo’s link and watching numerous vids cheers all

Mo waiting for valve to arrive. Played around with rod before your original input about the valve It might be my wording, I was accelerating hard. Got 2 about 2500rpm in 4th uphill albeit a very small incline, then floored it, Max boost each time was as mentioned 10. I just expected a little more from the rod adjustments Cheers

I done 1 full twist of the rod and went for drive gauge was showing 9 I think done another 2 full twists test drive showed 10 2 more twists and still showing 10. if I Rev and accelerate hard it may go to 11 for a split second thats as far as I have gone coz I bottled it in case engine blew up 😂

In fact.. the little baby pin that rides on the boost pin must be working as when I removed diaphragm to check the baby pin was moving I can see a line in the smear of red grease that’s supplied with the boost pin make sense ?

Jon .. eeerrr not sure.. I’ll check tomorrow reb .. yep cut out facing forward

Ooops ? Was I robbed then ? I took plastic spacer out and put in one of the lose mysterious safe places ?? I know the little pin your on about. I pulled diaphragm out a couple days ago. Then took throttle linkage off to see if the baby pin moved by hand .. it did didnt think to try moving the throttle lever 🙈 if it moves by hand I’m assuming it WILL move with the lever ?? Yay or nay ?

I’ve not got the cone shaped pin anymore, I have steggys pin and spacer ring I do panic about blowing things up.. it’s been sat on drive long enough while I repair and tart it up.. I really don’t wanna be rebuilding an engine. 😂

Good point.. need to confirm boost gauge working properly and giving correct readings first will do that in morning cheers 👍

Ah ok . I may have a few more turns to reach that ill check tomorrow thank you

Be great if you could appreciate every engine / set up is different but it will give me a rough idea thanks

How much thread you got left on your rod .. pardon me 😂

Hmmmm? I done 5 full rotations of rod now no Fip adjustments from how I found it, and it’s barely showing over 10psi. Probably got approx 6-7mm of thread left from memory. i worry about going much further without an egt gauge. rpm now fitted and working but I need to get that synced properly. ( no timing light) got the throttle cable adjusted so ticking nice n slow without being too close to stall and set rpm gauge at 850ish 2500rpm on dual carriageway in 4th foot to floor and boost shoes 10-11max .. do I just need to be brave and add a couple more turns to rod or be safe and get egt fitted and boost gauge checked to make sure it’s reading correct I have checked for leaks with soapy water and nothing that I can see thanks

Ralph Did you do yours with the rod or a bit of pump tuning aswell ?? Thanks

Cool cheers Ralph. All done. just gotta go Halfords again now to replenish the coolant I just dumped 🤬🤬🤬timing wasn’t good there really 😂

Cracking thanks mate 👍

Fellas quick question is this the correct bottom pulley for fan belt.. looks straight enough but what’s middle for ??

On the button Mo

Anyone got pics

Was it an easy fit?? I worry about drilling into things

They seem to get their hands into everything.

Ok .. advice taken 2 for proflow 1 for blue bag proflow ordered I hope not now I just ordered.. used Rebs link for lrdirect

Jesus !!! rimmerbros £275 !!! bearmach £40 ish prices are all over the place

So, for those that have replied to my boost adjustment post will now know I have a more urgent issue water pump i have a dribble from the tell tale hole underneath see pic question is where to get a replacement. prices vary massively.. blue bag stuff seems like a no no unless I fancy doing it again in a month anyone got any recommendations?? thanks
