BLEED VALVE QUICKY
Turbo Mini Forums

yes

bud, i thought u had an in car bleed valve? doent this put the bleed valve in an awkward place to adjust it??? just wondering. will do it when i get home from work.

thanks guys

yes mines in the dash, its piped exactly the same except i went to b&q and got some 5mm bong pipe to make the pipes longer.

i just closed the valve completly on me way back to work,and its slower......and the boost gauge only goes up to 4ish, so its working??

the answer would be yes. end of the day if you boost gauge is connected at the manifold it should tell you if its working or not. Much more than we can in words

i cant see how it can dan ???????

anyway buddy do as we have said and watch it go mind the guage though!

so why do people say you have to fit it between the turbo and actuator,when it works fitted to the pipe that went to the boost solinoid??????

this is what confuses me.....

the last pick you posted dan where you highlighted the valve etc was misleading
anyway going on that pic i cant see HOW it can work buddy????????

any way dan are you in yorkshire ??
if so come and see me

im in heathrow unfortuantly mate,


has anybody got photos of theres fitted?? will make it alot easyier

budd666 done it for you on the sketch

THATS IT!!!!

print that out dan ant do it to that buddy

LOL OK OK im ganna do it like that, im just saying how comes it made it slower when i fully closed the valve AND the gauge even showed the boost went down?????

thats the way he's done it i think and it will work as well.

yeah thats exaclty how i done it!!! so is that ok? or does it work better the other way or what?

that will work fine.

think the other way means the actuator acts quicker but they will both work.

so theres no difference in power either way i do it?

nope

lol so i had i right all along!!!!


thanks guys for all your help!! much appreciated

Got your email 1275_dan, but i guess your question is answered. Mines plumbed as per Iains drawing and works fine, has done for several years.

Obviously there are various ways to accomplish this.
Doing it dans way I am sure you would be wasting a large amount of volume of air which could be used to power the turbo
further!
the metro turbo only dumped a small amount of air to fool the wastgate on for a second or so, thats not too bad, but to do away with ECU and go to manual setup would be wasting loads of air especially on HIGH BOOST.
But this is how a have plumbed mine in. (no massive leakoffs)
So hear goes.

phil, dan ,ian.
do you find that you have a large leak of air doing it this way?

it works exactly the same as the std metro control system, except replacing the boost soleniod and ECU with a manual one.

Picture, it needs to be hosted on a site, email me it if you like iain@turbominis.co.uk and ill add it to your post then you can add words

STUART GURR,if you read this please shed some light on this subject


ta

i hope Turbo Dave may comment on this

As there are many ways to plumb diffrent systems up depending on your goals

would like some input on this thread chaps

Gt tuning (renault ) do it benross way,they supply a selection of small alloy bars with various size holes in that fit inside the rubber pipe secured with a jubilee clip around the outside.

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

I would will be doing it "inline" when i get round to fitting one,The standard 10psi nissan actuator is more than enough right now....

1275_Dan i can see why it works now, why didnt you say that in the first place!!!!!!

Just kiddin mate!
