boost controller & guage

[Koi]

just checked that and reliase i meant 0.6-0.7

good one!

ahhh thats better, at 87 psi the engine would have melted by now and you would have given Jensen Button a run for his money

I wondered who that was looking surprised in my rear view mirror!
makes sense now I am running just under 10psi

Update:

I have been doing a conversion to work out how much boost I am running.

The guage goes up to just over 0.9 Bar with my foot to the floor on long hills.
0.9/0.069 = 13 PSI, I did adjust it right up to when I hit the overboost warning on the dash (red light comming on) that was at 1 bar so I downed the boost controller 1/2 a turn and now max at 0.9 bar. So I guess I am running at 13psi not 12psi.

I was wondering if there is any way of increasing the amount of fuel going into the engine whilst running at such a high boost?

Where did you get your boost controller valve from? Have you got a part no or something?

my local halfords stock them, it is just a brass thingy with two connectors and a hole in the bottom opposite a knob thingy that you can tighten.

If you are running this on a 2LT engine rather than a 2LTE engine then you will need to get the fuel pump recalibrated, you may be able to do it yourself by adjusting the peak flow rate. On a 2LTE the peak flow rate is the only thing you can adjust, the rest of the settings are set by the ECU.

does anyone know of a diagram showing me what I need to adjust to do this?
