Stu Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Just been out in the car and was giving it some and thought it was pulling well when I looked at the boost gauge and it was reading1.6!!!..Only had a restrictor ring fitted a little while ago and it was at a stable 1.2..any ideas why it has suddenly shot up...

SkyJawa Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Cold damp air I had mine set so it runs about 1.1 tops normally. Even on the coldest dampest day it only went up to 1.25 once. That way I know its always safe and I'll boost it up a bit on the warmer days with the SBC-ID when I get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Surely it wouldn't rise like that..its warmer today than when it was set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Nah, the worst I ever got without the restrictor ring in was 1.5bar on a cold day giving it large from 2nd to 6th gear. Might be a toob come off somewhere, how are you with the pressure hose system of the sequential setup? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
