Does that mean it doesn't work?

GARETH T

it does work,,, but it does like lifting under low pressures,,,
this is a few ways i can help this though

Mike Rainbird

And?

GARETH T

and what mike?

The few ways to help it - what are you going to do to resolve the issues - we don't want HALF a story .

GARETH T

the "slug" inside the holder is too long (i made it this way so i can make it shorter) when this is shorter it will have greater lift energy

also,, if i drill a few small holes in the face of the disk,, this will reduce differential pressures (of cause i would have to close my idle bypass up to gain my 1000 rpm idle again)

what you think mike?

looking good gareth

and how much would such a thing cost, say for instance a fast ford project car wanted to use such a thing and you would get some very good advertising out of it lol ??

If it works then cool .

fudgeass

alot

i cant be 100% its going to work,,, but it is mk1
and an engineer who never made mistake,,,,, never made anything

Nice design.....

I think 25W is still a little low....the ultimate way would be twin wound coil...high wattage to lift it then low to hold it.....

Looks good though pal....just dont like the bolt in the end....preferred to make the valve as a whole.....

foreigneRS

as above - hope you've loctited bolt in, don't want it going anywhere it shouldn't

turbospud

what are the costs involved in fitting als to a 2wd

GARETH T

you need a p8 (large turbo escort ecu) and als board (or an aftermarket ecu_
247 shafted turbo
an als valve
and a small bit of wiring
about 1500 quid if you do it on a budget

Very impressive Sibster & Gareth

Edit: (Phil on Kay's account )

GARETH T

What turbo is that with please?

ian sibbert

Most proper maram shafted ALS turbo's are T34's as these are the variety used on rally cars....

Maram shafts are getting rare though....

Stu @ M Developments

ALS will be available on the L8 very very soon too.

Lo@der

What about the GT series turbo's, do they come with a maram shaft fitted ?
Saying that if for example a GT costs more than a maram shafted T34(a less advanced turbo),
is there any point in spending the extra on a GT (which to my understanding will be a more advanced faster spooling turbo) when your using ALS anyway?
Though I guess it also depends on the rest of the engine , to what state of tune it is, using what components ect. ?

turbospud

how much is it going to be

WD Pro

or should that be as it something else to spend my pennies on

GARETH T

someone PM'ed me last night so i sent him the rp labs way

Turbo lag

ALS will kill the GT turbo's

Turbo lag
what they don't have a suitable shaft?

GARETH T

it does depend on how much als you are running
