Aaron,
Yes, it looks exactly like that.
Sounds like I need a crutch... seriously.
On a race car, could you just use a compressed-air source (bottle) and a relay-controlled valve to activate (open) the power-valve?
You could have a compressed air bottle plumbed into the carb PV in such a way that a hobbs switch would activate a relay to open the valve immediately, when the slightest amount of boost occurred...
I guess it wouldn't be a very good system for the street, but might work okay on a race car??? what do you think (it would need a pressure regulator, of course, for the (actuating) signal going to the power valve...)
Thanks again for the excellent tutorial...:violent1: :cheers:
Bill the bracket that Tom made for you I'm sure looks like this this is his design
And this is what I refer to as a brpv or boost referenced power valve and now vacuum does absolutely nothing for you anymore so the old thinking about how a power valve works is different now with the modification that Tom made to the PV it stays closed until the boost pressure over comes the spring pressure delivered via the boost ref port in the carb
This is what the crutch system is all about alot of the guys say that boost pressure a loan isn't normally enough to over come the spring pressure so that's why they interduce the air supply
I hope this explains it abit better to you I'm sure tom can explain it better so they only difference from what tom did for you and what I'm doing is not relaying on boost pressure to open the brpv but for it to turn on my air pump so i no it opens up and dumps fuel
Hope this helps
Aaron
