Default Mods To Idle Valve For Mild Anti Lag

Hi,

Has anyone got the details of the idle valve mod for the MSD L8 mild anti lag ?

Are the mods common knowledge or is it something I have to mither Stu for ?

Cheers,

Interested in this too, I know it works on a std Ford valve for mild but if I go severe then what do I need. and who can supply a complete bypass kit, I forget who did one at a show may have been a Carwise motor?? I forget

OK thanks

Will buy FF anyway but does anyone have the dimensional info ?

I might as well do the mods now as all the bits are off allready to make fitting the engine easier.

Cheers,

WD

We can carry out the mods to the ALS valve as well . However, you need to check the operation of it to ascertain that you have a good one (which is very easy to do ).

Cheers Mike,

I know its a good one as its been in my saph (and worked well) for a few years. I swaped it out when I got a second hand one to test they were both OK.

I have access to a lathe and miller so I can do 'basic' machining - Just wanted a sketch of what I need to do

Cheers,

WD

PS : Will be in touch after next payday ( ) to order the brakes
