hey peeps go the cossies
1: Im gona add a 3 way switch or normal 2 way on/off to use this 2 stage boost ive heard about but by passing the ecu and amil valve WONT THIS BE BAD FOR THE ENGINE?
and what boost will it run im running stage 1 and 14psi switch on itl run 14psi i guess and switch off itl be what 8psi

2:Also what does a bleed valve look like? i have tried restricting the pipe from turbo to amil valve is this a bleed valve? or whats a bleed tap?

3: im also adding a manual switch to trun on fans will this efect ecu and engine? i am adding it to the sensor on the radiator

4:ive heard you run transmision oil in the borg warner T5 boxes? is this true sounds wierd if so whats the best oil to use?

5:Are there any weak parts of suspention i should replace to stiffen it up any trick you guys do over there or? id like to put in adj camber bolts etc

lastly any you guys got any other tips for gaining more mid range power etc

cheers guys

 

join the wire in between the amal valve wire to a switch on the dash it will work and wont harm your engine
i whould not use a bleed valve on my car but that is up too you they just look like a brass 3 way tap
the switch will not harm your ecu for the cooling fans
when i spoke to ford you use normal 90s gear oil in the transmission box
i whould just recommend fitting polly bushes around
fit a hybrid turbo you will feel the difference straight away using the normal t3 i did

hope this helps

 

Agree with RS nuts, i also have a 2 stage boost switch on the dash which breaks the circuit to the amal valve to lower boost. As a rough guide if you disconnect the feed to the Amal valve it will half the boost, unless your valve has been jetted like mine which means i run hardly any pre load on my actuator to achieve 1.5 bar, drops to 0.6 bar on low boost.

May sound like a silly question but why would you want to run a two stage boost set up when your car is only running stage 1. Mine is also stage 1 , running 15 psi, nothing is overstressed and fuel economy to power is perfect so i cant see the benefit of switching to a standard boost setting for normal running. I can appreciate the advantages of having a two stage boost set up on a big power engine but not on one thats only mildly tuned.
Bleed valves get a lot of bad press but as long as you ignore the urge to keep messing about with it, once its set it wont harm the car, i had a faulty amal valve on my 4x4 a couple of years ago and so we removed it and fitted a bleed valve so that the car was still mobile. I ran like that for a good few months until i sourced another amal valve , with no problems, then or since. Mind you, my stage 1 chip has a built in safety feature whereby it kills the ignition at 17 psi to protect the engine from overboosting.
Agree with the comment above about poly-bushes, they stiffen up the car no end and as a bonus wont perish over time like standard rubber ones.

You can see a boost valve fitted in this picture below, its the brass tap next to the airbox, you'll also notice that the amal valve is missing. Sorry about the size of the pic, its the only one i have.

DO NOT put in your T5 sae90 gear oil.Use Dexron III automatic fluid or you throw it away
