BLEED VALVE QUICKY
Turbo Mini Forums

ive got the bleed valve connected to the pipe thqt comes out of the actuator,the other bit on the bleed valve is blocked and the other is left open to atmosphere. now is this ok,or do i have to have in between the turbo and actuator????



thanks alot guys

if its a three leg type ? T

the two outer legs ends get coupled between the actuator,

inbetween the turbo pressure side pipe, to the actuator, the middle one goes to Atmosphere hope this helps

i also include a flow regulator as well but that
another story.

yeah its a T type,ive got it plugged in to the pipe that comes out the actuator,and then the bit that comes straight out the other side of the valve is blocked,and the bottom of it bleeds out the air.

is this ok or does it need to be put in between the turbo and actuator???


ta

never seen it block ther before???

they should be all open????
it cant work like that
you must have it in line like above thread

any pics?

ok il explain as clear as i can so you can see what im getting at.

if you look down at the actuator,youve got a pipe going into it,then you have a pipe coming out of it. now the pipe that comes out used to go to the bleed solinoid i think,i have unblocked it,and put the bleed valve on that,and blocked the other side of the valve,so there is only one outlet venting,which is the bottom one of the T shaped bleed valve.


so this is wrong???? if so what do i do with the pipe that comes out of the actuator,block it???


cheers

well dan,

i have ragged all that out of my motor.
so i assumed you have, sill me

this sound right ish, to me give it a whirl buddy

just watch the gauge for over boost

DONT BLOCK THE ACTUATOR OFF!

hmmm im confused if its right or not now. you said it goes on the pipe that goes from turbo to actuator, i have it on the pipe that comes out the actuator......im ganna have to get a pic when i get home in a min.the boost goes up etc when i turn it on the way i have it at the mo,but not sure if its right.

it will work fine

will it work any different???? is it better to do it the other (between turbo and actuator???

if the way i have done it is ok,
am i supposed to block the other side of the valve like i have done,or leave 2 to vent???

Get an MBC much simpler

if you can adjust the boost to what you want dan

then theres no problem buddy
cant seem to get my head around it?

have you left the ECU in and all the gummings wired up?

has no ecu,just wondered why people put it between the turbo and actuator instead the way i done it.

well dan thats it buddy, i see now

just another way of doing it

i bet you get a lot of volume of air coming from the outlet
quite noisey ?

so thats ok then??? what noise?? ive got s/c drop gears remember lol

another quicky,the lean off pipe on the carb,is it best to block them off or have them connected?

also,would there be any possibility that turning the boost up frm 5 to 7psi make it slower?

as it doesnt seem to pull as well as it did at 5psi, standard engine

Dan.
The general consensus is to leave well alone, this saves MPG,
Make sure its not split and in good order.

with the looks of your set up dan its standard: right?

if so 8psi no problems but iam sure everone would not advise going over this without some mods

Edited by BENROSS on 17th Feb, 2005.

mke surewhat isnt split?

the lean off pipe

what would that cause if it were split?

correct its standard,i wouldnt go over 7psi.

Erratic running on tick over,
would go even leaner on idle

This pipe saves money MPG on cruise conditions

dan i noticed in the pic
the suction hose for the turbo looks substantial
where did you get it from
and is it the right dia for the turbo housing ?
thanks

put in line with the actuator means its not as sensitive. i.e you turn it further to get the same result. no big deal really.

ben,do you mean the air intake pipe??? if so i got it from stuart at vmaxscart.

am i reading dan's wrong or is it cause im on the wrong side of a few beers.....

1275 dan states: 1 connection to his actuator, 1 connection blocked off and one connection open to atmosphere?

Think about it guys.....


Dan you need the bleed valve to be inbetween the actuator and the turbocharger,

The actuator works by sensing what boost the compressor is running at, so pressurised air has to go into it and move a diaphram - which in turn will move the arm to open and close the waste gate.

If you have a leek or a controlled leek in this line (bleed valve) the turbo will produce say 7psi, presurised air will fill the line, some will bleed out of the bleed valve so at the other end the actuator recieves only say 6psi.


So it goes TURBO-----Bleed Valve------Actuator

And the third one is left Open to atmosphere

So pressurised air flows from the turbo into the bleed valve, some is lost to atmosphere and then the actuator receives its share and alters the wastegate acordingly

yeah thats what is confusing me, my current setup is how you stated above eg actuator to bleed valve,one blocked one bleeds to atmosphere.

BUT if the way i have it at the mo is wrong,then how comes it still adjusts the boost when turning it????
