Hi all. Are the AMAL valves the same on the RS Turbo as a 2wd cossie?

I suspect mine not to be working and have been offered a RS turbo one cheap. Looks the same but are they?

They work exactly the same, but I think the jets (small plastic tubes within the ports) are a different size. Will be ideal to determine if yours is knackered.

 

PM 155Lee off here he had 2 for sale very cheap...Proper cossie ones.

 

Exactly what he said, but I guess you could always swap the jets from your existing valve if so?

Just rip the jets out.

amal valve aint a complicated thing......does it click when u turn ur ignition on......other than that u can take it apart and remove the spring & weight from inside and then it just runs fully open......mine's been like this for years

 

That sounds dangerous and kind of pointless and you don't actually have any boost control as it's not doing it's job, it's designed to fail safe for a reason, nothing personal just saying.

opinions vary...................like said an amal valve aint all that,mine just runs open at all times...the cars mapped to suit

 

Only a stupid person maps without effective boost control, but seems so are, just my op.

I agree.

 

See thats the problem with this site...full of people that "think" they know it all...my cars been like this for over three year and is mint

 

Pete i dont know it all..!...but i prefer a amal valve that works...If yours works fine without and your happy mate...Well thats what counts...

 

......soz for being snotty fella,but i had this argument on here before with a well know person telling me i was wrong....then Tony from Turbosystems came on and said i was right......i only ever give out advise that i've done or seen work myself.........

 

That's spot on Pete... There's a thousand roads to the same destination.

 

It doesn't matter a shit who says your right, be it the often arse licked stu or whoever, it's not a question of right or wrong, it's a question of you have what you want and let others have what they want.
I'm not arguing, frankly if your engine goes bang that's your problem not mine, but if you don't want opinions on a PUBLIC FORUM, try not inviting them, by posting.
The reason why other people who may have the same opinion as myself don't post is generally they are too busy arse licking, and daren't disagree with anyone established.

tabs u were the one coming on the thread calling people stupid,so it does get my back up when i know this method eliminates a daft electrical/wiring fault......so i aint fucking arguing about it either...........xx
