Are power boost valves any good?

l've had mixed reactions off people about them and would like to know off u guys, do they actually make a difference :-?

by **Fezzy Turbo** on Wed Feb 12, 2003 8:54 pm

You dont need it, the FRST already has a variable fuel regualtor.

Save your cash for something else

cheers

to get the best out of a power boost valve you need to get the engine fuelling etc setup up on a rolling road.

chumkila :to get the best out of a power boost valve you need to get the engine fuelling etc setup up on a rolling road.

what so get it setup first or boost valve and then set up, what are the gains?

by **chumkila** on Thu Feb 13, 2003 2:04 pm

Boost valve first and then setup. The gains will depend on ur spec, condition of engine etc.

Mine gave me an extra 4 bhp before chipping.........

by **Phil Si** on Thu Feb 13, 2003 11:21 pm

as its been said above.. the fuel can be regulated via the screwy thingy...

thus the boost valve would be pointless... just get it set up on a RR and adjust the thingy

by **Richards MGX** on Thu Feb 13, 2003 11:38 pm

Didn't think they were adjustable on a 1.4 zetec......

by **Phil Si** on Fri Feb 14, 2003 12:25 am

thought it was for a 2i? i'm lost now lol

by **Richards MGX** on Fri Feb 14, 2003 10:40 am

Sorry! Was just saying that I have one on my 1.4 Zetec.....

by **Fiestasi-Andy** on Fri Feb 14, 2003 2:14 pm

Richards MGX :Mine gave me an extra 4 bhp before chipping.........

Of course it did :rolleyes:

that 4bhp could have been anything, did the company that sold u the FSE valve also rolling road your car ?

by **Richards MGX** on Fri Feb 14, 2003 10:26 pm

Nope! A company that grass track cars who are also a K&N official dealer for East Yorkshire did the test b4 and after on a rolling road. The only other mods being a s/s back box and the 57I kit........

The garage is called KP Motorsports and they're well known in their circles...

Would one of these help me. Mine i thinks running lean. Done it ever since I put on the induction kit. When the engine is cold and just started it run real quick. Faster than it ever did standard but when it warms up its like it isn't getting enough fuel. It seems to lose acceleration and response. Been trying to sort this for ages.

Is ther anyway to increase fueling without an FSE valve or chip on a 1.6 Si. Don't wanna have to spend loads of money to just inject a little more fuel in!

by **fiesta_fras** on Mon Feb 17, 2003 11:27 am

no u got a fuel pressure regulator that controls the flow to the injectors, the 1.6 and 1.8 zetec use the same part although do differ through mondy and fiesta/escort, the 2L mondy one is different all together and 'may' < MAY increase the fuel,

by **Fiestasi-Andy** on Mon Feb 17, 2003 11:27 am

sounds like u had the same problem as me :rolleyes:

what induction kit is it?

and how long have u had it on for?

by **Richards MGX** on Mon Feb 17, 2003 8:29 pm

Not sure if it the answer as such, but my car ran a lot more hesitantly just after fitting the K&N 57I as the engine was getting a lot more air into it...

The power boost valve dramatically improved the jerk & hesitance problems immediately......

+ when it was chipped, the fueling was set up nice & sweetly.... :bonkers:

by **Fiestasi-Andy** on Mon Feb 17, 2003 8:34 pm

still got me thinking
