evening everyone

Just recently i have been experiencing boost controll problems with the zed(rb20)i cant say the problem coincided with any work done so im stuck

I cant seem to adjust the boost i run anymore. Im using a simple pneumatic contoller which used to work fine for me. I played around with it today, and no matter where i set it, it read 5psi on the boost guage. I even took the controller out altogether, no change. The boost doesnt feel as though it changed with these changes either. what should i be looking for i have checked lines etc, all seems fine?

cheers

What we need to know is it a after market bleed valve like TurboSmart or just a tap?Reason I ask is with a tap you need a restrictor before the tap in the actuator line other wise you wont be able to bleed off enough air to make more boost.

I guess you already knew that but yer what valve do you have?

      I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.

      Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
