If anyone is interested in trying the Power boost valve kit,
I've spoken to Dave Billingham at Demon Tweeks, and he will
do a price of £70 + vat delivered.

Call him on 01978-663053, if you want one.

Cheers R19KET,

I've been considering doing this for a little while now.
Does anyone on here have any experience of using the FSE PBV?

I'm interested in this too. Has anybody fitted one? Did it make much difference? What was it like to fit? (I put one on an Astra GSI some years ago and it certainly was an improvement but fitting got messy because I finished up having to remove the fuel rail and all sorts of gubbins and I'd rather not get into that again, thank-you). Anyway, where is the standard regulator? Questions, questions....

PS: I received the 2002 Demon Tweeks catalogue yesterday and the FSE is £91+VAT in there so this is a good deal.

We have fitted literally hundreds of these to Saab's mainly and a fair few to Scoobs. They are a brilliant product and will improve the response and driveability of the car.

Couple of things to bear in mind for home fitting..

1. You need to fabricate a mount bracket to properly affix the unit
(its remotely mounted from the standard regulator)

2.it can go in any one of several locations depending on year, spec etc.

3.It must be properly set up using a reference workshop fuel guage to set base idle pressure to a VERY precise figure... 0r it will be doing bob all!!!

4.Ideally, a specialist tool is required to move the old FPR.

We aren't allowed to quote discounts on these on line or in advertising .... but if we can help, please call me!

I've not used one with the stock ecu, but have with a Link, Motec, etc', and it works fine.

I would suggest that the main benifit will be to those who are running close to the max injector duty cycle. I'm not certain just how the stock ecu will cope with the increased pressure.

As for fitting: I took a slightly different approach, since I was uncertain to how the FSE would perform. To make life easy, I simpley removed the fuel return line to the fuel rail, and fitted the FSE in line, leaving the stock reg' in place. I didn't bother with a bracket, but cable tied it in place. You will need to "T" in a vacuum hose. As far as running the two in parallel, I never had any problems. I also felt that doing it this way, if there was any area, where the stock reg' wanted to give higher pressure than the FSE, it would just override it, and vica versa.

If anyone else wants to set it up the same way, speak to Dave at DT, and ask him for a price on JUST the reg', not the kit. This will work out much cheaper.

Mark.

Trouser is right, as far as setting it up though. Although they are supposed to be pre set, I would recommend the fuel pressure is checked, and adjusted to suit.

RaymondH

Thanks for the replies gents. The only thing bothering me now is setting the fuel pressure but I think that I can borrow a gauge from a mate who works in the trade. Is it just a case of putting the gauge in line after the regulator and what should the pressure be at how many rpm? Thanks.

Raymond.

Cheers guys!

I wasn't aware it needed a kit to install it. Exactly what does this kit include?
John would this help with the Dawes MBC at all?

Doubt it - unless you are going silly with the boost or have lots of mods. Certainly I don't expect my UK spec MY00 PPP with DP and 17.5PSI will be anything like 100% injector duty cycle. But I could be wrong...
