Frage uber restrictor in AMAL valve 224

[Thorsten Ruge]

Congrats, good job, but your valve looks really crabby by the way.......I would not trust it for complete sealage

There is no problem if the valve is not completely airtight. It is all about volume/flow. The C line supply's a lot of cubic meters air, much more than what can escape thru a small hole (ie leaking valve). A leak will not seriously change pressures in the system.

If i am wrong at this point (not), my boost will get higher than expected (no pressure in W results in max boost) so I do not see any problem

I must agree on the looks, it looks crappy but it works. It's from Sweden. In Italy they do it the other way; looks good but does not work.

hi kodjo,

interesting! Sorry I missed that point: Which pressure values You got with restrictor put into C-pos. (Your assumed correct sitting)?

cheers, veith

Sorry, forgot to mention (was to excited):

Restrictor in "R" port: (as per maserati manual) max boost = 0,6 bar, well below yellow
Restrictor in "C" port: max boost 0,8bar, half in yellow.
