fse power boost valves!!!

[clidge]

hi guys have done a couple of searches and found the view on power boost valves to be very 50/50 has any one got any comments they could add about this because nick at hillpower rates them highly when you have modded your car....i have a slight flat spot in my pick up and i am hopping to get one of these fitted and then have a group n ecu fitted at later date?

anyone? cheers

Wouldnt of thought it would be 50/50.

For the clio they are not really worth it, even with mods.

 

[OLLZIE]

i would agree with gavfre

i have one on my gti.. but it needs it. there poor otherwise..need to be set up and mapped on live r/r

 

[clidge]

cheers guys for the comment so far it is very confusing nick at hillpower says you dont need a rolling road set up because the ecu after a little time adjusts it self to the improved fuel ratio and compensates!! argggg lol

 

[ben_p]

the clio will properly adjust but im not 100%.. i needed to map mine as im using a wide band lambda

I know the ecu's are selfteaching, but don't know more about that

cheers guys i thought with the increased air flow going into the car therefore burning more fuel an increase in the amount of fuel ratio would make up the difference therefore taking aware the hesitation and flat spot??????????

 

[ben_p]

they kinda work like that but must be set up properly to see any small gains

cheers guys any more comments on this please cheers..nick said he has set alot people on this forum up with the fse valve when they have had the inlet manifold work done!!! cheers

You might be better asking nick to use an up rated fuel pressure regulator instead of the PBV. Thats what i had done with my inlets and the fueling was spot on. I had a flat spot at about 2000-3000rpm after my inlets were done and the feul reg fitted. Then when i changed to a group n ecu it ironed out the flat spot fine

^^^^ Thats all they are anyway . An adjustable fuel pressure regulator . I would say that if your car is standard or only has minor mods its a waste of time .

I can't really comment on how they affect Clios but i had one fitted on my Pug 306 S16 and it was shite . It was set up on a rolling road and all it did was massively overfue the car putting the ecu into backup mode .

I took it back and they gave me a full refund .

get a grp n ecu. Off the shelf mod, good gains, quicker fbw response, and cheap!!!

cheers guys for your comments i am going to call nick again for his full low down thanks again
