ok as part of me cleaning the engine bay up some im replacing the amal valve pipes with blue vacum hose but...........

one of the hoses from the valve goes into the induction kit and the new bigger filter doesnt have a erm .......hole

where does the pipe go once ive put the new filter in ?

cheers...................matt

 

Just leave the pipe off from the amal valve Matt.

 

Yup just leave it

 

you mean leave the pipe coming from the amal valve free or just dont put another pipe on the amal valve ?

cheers guys...................matt

 

dont bother putting one on the amal matt

 

wont that upset it or something ?

sayin that tho if you guys have done this then its fine by me lol

thanks everyone..................matt

 

on a cossie, it'll be fine
only matters on matered air systems like Escort RS Turbos and small turbo esccossies

 

Yes it will be fine.

 

I noticed yesterday on my S1 that the amal valve has no pipes fitted to it at all. Any ideas on why? Always thought that they had to be fitted..but it runs good without..so what do they do? And what do the valve do if they aren't fitted?

 

you probbaly got a bleed valve instead

 

Yeh. But the amal valve fitted to my S2 has the pipes still attached, but also has bleed valve (altho it is shut).

 

what the fook that got to do with owt jim lad

the boost will rise the airbox acts as a restrictor

mine rose from 15 to 20 held

detted its bollocks off

depends how its jetted of course

mine was a turbosystems stage 1 setup at the time

i had to fit this pipe to slow down the amount of air the valve was bleeding away.....

 

cheers matt so where did you run the pipe to ?

 

just to atmos matt

 

because on a metered system like an ERST it don't like leaks as you have air passing the metering head but not actually going into the engine, hence why the air returns to the system past the metering unit.

on a cossie it's map based, so it doesnt matter if any air goes amiss...

same reason you cant run "normal" dumpvalves on ERSTs ST Esccos etc. they just dont like leaks

altho its such a tiny leak it really makes fack all difference... lol i ran my old TT (metered system) without bleeding the air back in quite happily... lol but then that car was held together with gaffer tape and cableties

 

i know why jim, i was taking the piss as thats the wrong end of the stick, when matt said wont it upset something i read it as boost upset not fuel upset

but then i knew the answer to the question
