dude Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Been doing some work on the car and was wondering if the boost hose to the controller gets crushed a bit will it effect the ability of the BC to INCREASE boost ?????

dude Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Originally posted by Matt Harwood That's never bothered you before! Matty boy i said increase boost , coming home i turned it up to set 70 and can only hit a max of 1.37 settling at 1.32 , this setting would normally give me 1.47 - 1.5 , just thinking if the 'boost pipe. is crushed a bit the controller cant accuratley tell what boost its trying to increase!!!!

TLicense Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Like Tim said, unless it's completely blocked off it won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 A leak somewhere maybe dude? That squashed pipe should have no effect. Depending on which one it was, I think if it was totally blocked off you could end up with huge boost as no signal to actuator spring. Not familiar with the SBC so I could be wrong.

dude Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Well dudes the hose did seem to be squashed where it goes thru the bulkhead , its now rerouted and i managed to hit 1.61 bar at 80 set , so it looks like it needs that hose to be free and clear to get a reading so it knows what to send the solenoid!!!. At least the car is now performing again and i turned back into a fuel injected suicide machine laying down a rubber road straight to freedom !!!!! or at least i was till the missus phoned and said i had to go home cause my dinner was ready !!!
