My cossie 2wd did not have an amal valve when I bought it now I am runing stage 3 and have a -31 wound nearly all the way up running only 17lb of boost

Do I

a get a stronger actuator?

b get an amal valve?

Help apreciated

Si

 

erm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, take it to a tuner, amal valves pulse to control boost, not just make the boost bigger


so stick a amal valve in and sack the tuner who removed it

 

You dont need a amal valve.... if you fit a boost controller between compressor housing and actuactor,you can control it without amal valve.

mark

 

amal valves can work both ways, mines mapped to reduce boost

 

or air injectors,,,,,,,, but thats not the question, he has no boost control OTHER than the actuator


thats a bad idea


matt you are right about the amal valve working to reduce when set up , but people seem to think there jetted JUST to increase boost, when there to control the max boost and keep it constant as poss ( no 32psi just for the hell of it one tuesday afternoon due to a problem with no boost control


id rather have a bleed valve

 

HI,

ID, stick with the amal valve, as its also a safety valve if the air charge temp
gets to high which could cause problems, the ecu closes the valve, and retards the
ignition timing, so you only see actuator pressure, a -31 with a amal valve with
the correct jets fitted inside, on 3,bar setup ie 803's(green injectors) boost
figure with the correct turbo and intercooler approx 23/25 psi peak,

c get a bleed valve

 

Si i have not got one fitted to mine run 24psi hold 22psi have never had any probs.

Got a brand new one but have never fitted it.

may fit it one day see how this post goes?????

If it causes less lag i go and fit it now

 

doo read what david reader said

ford dont fit things for fun

 

Was going to fit it before but could not find the bit of loom that plugs into it what part of the loom does this come off?
going to have to look again

 

on a standard map up or regular "stage 3" set up they are set to increase boost, the jets simply determine the amount of air the bleed can vent

not relevant here but i have no jets at all oh and also a bleed valve

 

forgot to mention your car as never moved for a while too

do mines on the water temp sender wiring but i relocated it to the lighting loom to make it tidy

my stage 3 chip as NO boost limit but the ecu does use it for ignition retard

 

oh and i forgot to say im gonna have my blitz boost controler and power meter when the cars back together BINNING the amal valve

 

whats that got to do with owt

the transmission and suspension has changed since it last ran in anger, the map and boost control aint

 

just a piss take


btw sell me your bumper ,cant find one for a REAL price

 

mine came from roger pits at brooklyn ford 01527 521212

 

exactly what i said above,but it was a bad idea

my tuner would,nt set one up without one.
saftey precaution to stop over boosting
