Well sorted the non starting prob's and while it ticking over nicely, thought i' give it a little rev to help clar out the unburntfuel and soot from the over fueling so revved her up a few times to about 2500rpm, and let off, had a smile starting to form waiting for the PTSSSSHHHHHH...... and........and.......

 

 

 

and fook all thats what! no noise not even a hiss WTF ibought these second hand from a long established member,so i doubt very much they are nackered, and it started to rain so didnt want to get under the car (fitted in place of recircs)to have a look and see if it's got screws or something, i dont remember seeing any, Any Ideas???? they're of Blitz flavour, so if any one has these any info would help.

 

Cheers

boost doesnt build up while in neutral. it builds from vacuum to 0, but thats it. you need to be driving her (or on a rolling road).

:slap:

 

D'oh Cheers Dave....... how stupid do i feel!!! anyway at least i know now.

Or give it a quick hard rev

or rev it above about 4k rpm in neutral, that should generate a but of boost, you wont get much below that tho

I tend to find you have to get it past about +3 on the gauge then release for a flutter or full boost for a pop :D Mine's an auto too but it still works fine

They do have an adjustor screw in them and they do work ;) and very loud :) sometimes if they have not been used for a while they can stick so worth getting someone to rev the engine to 4-5000 revs with you with your hand over the bovs to feel if there "dumping" ok :cool:

Kirbs, i noticed the other day that there are black scortch marks on my silicone pipes, they are about 2cm away from the exit of the dump valves. I take it this is normal, just heat?

where abouts are your DV fitted?

top mount, the exits are about 3cm away from the bottom samco bits of the hard pipes to the intakes.

are you sure its not a bit of oil? rather than scorched? are your bovs on the outer pipes or the inner pipes?

maybe, its the same on both sides

Have you tried holding your hand over the exit while someone else revs hard and they dump?

It hurts, so more than likely not doing your silicone any good.

 

Either move them, or do what I did and mount a little aluminuim deflecter sheet to protect the silicone.

Good idea mate :)
