Looking at my amal valve i see a bleed valve ( or so ive been told ) but as im in no way mechanically minded im unsure of wot its doing or if it should be there ( people say its fine others say its not ) i presume the other pipe should be connected ( its blanked off ) is this gonna do any damage it being this way?? any help you can give me will be appreciated...

thats the return pipe that goes to the air box but you no longer have that air box you runnig a cone filter as for the bleed valve i dont have a clue it think some one was trying to make a boost controler or a jet for the amal valve to stop boost drop to fast i dont no just a gessss

 

remove the bleed valve.. it's doin fuck all, and remove the capped off hose.

get a new bit of hose..... and join the amal valve to the one under the cone.

 

so fit a new pipe from the amal valve into were the one is thats capped off????
is it a bleed valve ie: if i turn it itll produce more boost ( i aitn gonna turn it just wondering ) will it do any damage repiping it??

Thanks for the replies..

Wooahhhh slowdown...

If you remove that bleed valve you will likely melt the engine as its obviously being used to control the return flow from the amal bleed so removing it will INCREASE the boost pressure.. likely by LOTS.

Get it done by someone who knows what hes doing or leave it alone

 

Ok so ive ran the car now since i bought it for just over a year and it hasnt done any damage so fingers crossed its not doing anything bad for me so ill just leave well alone!! thanks for the replies....
i just wondered wot it was doing there..

hmmm. I thought it was the return to air box one just piped up wrong ?!

 

Hiya craig

Out of interest, does your amal valve click when the ignition gets switched on?

Neil.

 

They all do mate

 

I think

 

Not if the chip doesnt use amal valve boost control it doesnt

Just trying to figure out if any air is even going down that pipe

Neil.

 

Ahhhhh,so what would happen if you had an Amal valve AND a bleed valve?

I found mine disconnected so i plugged it back in thinking it had just got knocked off due to a bumpy road or something but it constantly clicks when i turn ignition on...?clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclic k Stop's whenever i start the car though.

So i just unplugged it again and been at AVA a few times since and they havent said anything so i guess this is OK?

 

now then neil mate hows you?

not sure on the clicking ill check 2morrow all i know is it runs two stage boost standard 8psi and holds 12psi when i flick the little switch as i said ive never had any bother but id like to know why its there...

Defo dont touch the bleed valve then matey

Neil.

PS Stu - If Alan says its OK, then its OK

 

Cool,thats what i thought too

 

neil... will that bleed valve be part of the 2 stage boost setup?

CheeRS

Yes, as ive said its being used to restrict the fow of air from the amal valve. All your switch does is turn this valve on and off

 

ok i get it now! so this is a safe procedure (spelling)... thakns for the help..

two stage? do the wires from amal valve go to battery via the switch?
common mod on rst's wire the amal valve up to +12v instant 1bar

 

dont think so they just go straight trough to the switch in the car.... i maybe wrong.. holds 12psi most times but some times only holds 10 could this be due to a worn actuator?
