will rip out a mean 12.2

12.2? I know you were born in Morayfield, but how many fingers do you have on each hand?

[JayTHEFordman]

That help?

It would seem that boost referencing the powervalve is the key

....It would seem that boost referencing the powervalve is the key

cant view video at work and not sure if serious, but everyone here is already talking about boost referenced PV's.. (BRPV's...)

Not sure on the injector thing tho man, hope you dont have to do that. Im sure it will work, but you're adding in point of failure you could probably do without....

Alcohol forgives many sins if you keep enough up to the fuel metering device.

[JayTHEFordman]

Yeah, I couldn't be arsed working through the whole number of tedious discussions, between EFI vs Carb, and adding injectors etc etc, it all got too hard. Just happened to stumble on said vid where there is a discussion about BRPV and tuning of, thought it may provide a clue which may help, and posted it up.

I think Dave should just hold out until Jmac comes in here and post's how to do it using a milo tin a diaphragm 2 bits of bundy tube and a old carby jet or 2. Or some other macgyver way of doing it on a budget

I am across all there different methods of doing it, I am just looking for the simplest way to do it. The simplest way is to not do it at all, as Muz says alcohol forgives many sins, so I am hoping that jetting up the secondaries will reduce the need for it. The penalty for doing this is that the amount of fuel needed to make up for the lack of power valve may result in fouling plugs when cruising, so it will be a suck it and see situation.

All of the methods of modifying for boost referencing have failure points, so I am keen to avoid them if I can.

Reality is that the car won't be reregistered until it is old enough for classic rego, if I can be bothered, so plenty of time to work it out.

I am relying on this :D

Spare V88 you can layby.

[Dave]

nope, chris needs it

[JZK25]

V88 does not have the tunability of a well setup carb.

That is why the early Microtechs were the best. Could be tuned with a screwdriver - same as a carby.

I have an haltech e6x and loom you can have for $450.

Just sayin'

My mate with the gt42 355 Vh on ethanol drives it daily, I see him everywhere in it and it's a simple blow through ethanol carb with the bowl vent extensions on it. Does not foul plugs frequently at all which is good considering the dump needs to come off to change plugs. On the dyno chart I have never seen such a flat afr trace
