Dawes Device
#1
Been toying with the idea of getting a Dawes Device for MY99 RB5.
Thing is - don't really know what it is, what it does and if I'll get any margin of fun out of it.
Anyone got ideas on pro's/con's/gains and any additional items I should really fit to make things 'safe'.
Cheers in advance...

Its sorta like a bleed valve where you can adjust your boost but using a ball and spring setup. You'll need an AFR and a knock link to be sure that you're not running too lean and detting your engine away. I don't have the link to the Dawes AFR but john banks was the Dawes Guru months ago.
As long as you don't get a fuel cut lifter (its safe below the fuel cut) and whacking in 1.5 Bar you'll be okay. Not unlike some crazy guy who did this to his car.

i am not an expert but i did have one fitted it gave excellant smiles per pound most important is that you have a boost gauge fitted so you can moniter your boost
the only reson i changed it was becouse i had a tech2 fitted which dose make the car quicker but the impression of speed of the dawes is great

Thanks very much, just malling through the figures - once you fit a centre pod console with gauges, save up for the Knock link and TEK2 at a later date, you're staring a considerable sum of money in the face.
Some more thinking is required me thinks... And perhaps after crimbo!
