VTR/WIRRAL

HOW DOES THE POWER BOOST VALVE WORK?

The Power Boost Valve is a high performance tuning part which replaces the original equipment valve (fitted to the vehicle).
A range of models are available to suit a wide variety of European cars, which almost certainly includes yours. We are continually developing new designs to expand the number of applications.
We outline the benefits of the Power Boost Valve by drawing a comparison evaluation:
Ref: Original Equipment Fuel Pressure Control Valve
The electric fuel pump supplies fuel at a high pressure to the fuel rail and injectors, which is then regulated by a fuel pressure control valve. Typically, the regulator is not adjustable and is pre-set to a 3 bar maximum pressure. At idle the fuel pressure valve reduces it by 0.5 bar approximately to 2.5 bar. When accelerating quickly from standstill the fuel pressure increases at a proportional rate retaining a lean fuel mixture strength as required by the E.E.C. for new vehicles. However, the resultant effects of the standard valve produce:

lethargic throttle response

occasional drivability problems at slow traffic speeds

intermediate performance 'flat spots' when accelerating

By comparison:
Ref: Power Boost Valve (replacement)
Firstly, this valve has an adjustable fuel pressure, effected by the movement of an adjustment screw on the crown of the unit.
New Power Boost Valves are pre-set with a maximum fuel pressure of 2.5, 3.0 or 3.5 bar, depending on the vehicle in question, and similarly (to the original valve) the fuel pressure is reduced by 0.5 bar approximately at idle. There the similarities end.
On acceleration from standstill the Power Boost Valve fuel pressure will increase at 1.7 times the standard rate. This will produce a healthy, strong fuel mixture strength which will instantly improve the drivability of your vehicle, providing:-

instant throttle response

removal of performance flat spots

faster acceleration

extra engine performance

The regulator enhances engine performance on acceleration by enriching the mixture strength. On constant throttle and cruise conditions the valve returns to a normal regulator function.
The Power Boost Valve is simple to install and in most instances basic fitting instructions are provided. These units are mechanical and are considered maintenance free.
We thank you for your interest in our products and hope that this bulletin provides you with enough information to answer any questions when making a purchase.

COMPETITION USE ENQUIRIES
The same range of regulators will be utilised when used on a competition engine and, for customers using competition fuel lines, a special regulator with a JIC (-6) male fitting has been prepared should one be required. Fuel pressure adjustment can be effected in seconds to reduce delays.

clever that scooby, well paul get your tools out!!!!!

VTR/WIRRAL

anyone got non biased review/comparison? lot of ppl say dont bother on a not very modded car

I don't really know what's a good price on these things but I've just found them to suit your Civic for £98 if that's any good?

I've got the boost valve. i'm just looking for another place to fit it other than DRP. I Don't want to attempt it myself for safey reasons.

Central auto services on the rossmore estate in ellesmere port have all the equipment there including a fuel pressure tester to set it up with. cheaper and as good(in my opinion)as DRP.

dont know the tel no but its in the yellows

Nice one for that will check them out.

Could Try These mate

Tyred N Exhausted (Autosafe)

So your saying to come down and see you, mate.

if ya gettin it fitted i will hav to get one or i wont be able to keep up with ya! lol

mike have you sorted your sound problem out, mate.

Yeah, or get me at the meet ????

:go:

yep i sorted it out yesterday! sounds well better now, thatsstupid sound isnt there an the sound quality is better, i now got neons inside an i got me induction kit!

Cheer mate, See you at the meet on tuesday.

Nice one Mike, So your car sounds better and should go better to, power boost valve will make abit of a diffence on yours, it will pick up quicker.

oopsy slight spellin mistake there oh well , on my sub is had two feeds goin to it, one from the head unit an one from the 6x9s an ur ment to only hav one feel so i unplugged the feed from the 6x9s an it worked!

how much will one be for mine? im still bit dissapointed with my exhaust, i wanna rage one now !!!!!! does sound bit better with the induction kit tho

Spelling, yeah me no good at english, lol.

Hi mike lookin at rage exhausts?

Try Scooby, he`ll sort you out.

Why not have a look?

Rage Exhausts

VTR/WIRRAL

do those prices include fitting?????? if how much for fittin????

exploding_penguin

yea i wanna rage exhaust now lol, ive only jus fitted me peco an am very dissapointed lol the rage ones sound much betta, i dunno which one to go for tho, can anyone help????

are u thinkin of gettin a age too sean??

my mates 1.0 106 phase 1 has this fitted...



and sounds stupidly loud but not raspy!! pisses all over my custom twin exit by powerflow!

yea mike i want either the 5" round tip or the 4" twin round slash cut tips. nice!!!i will ave to here ur exaust now that ur induction kit is on!!!

Prices do not include fitting, i have to asses each fitting job on its own metit therefore i would need to get your car on the ramps at work mate to price up the fitting charge, also brackets n clamps are required...

This one costs £169 just for the tail pipe/box, fitting is not included in this price. Contact Scooby or Tyred N Exhausted (Auto-Safe)

Hope this helps or visit CW shop for more Rage exhaust options Cruise Wirral Shop

Cheers scooby for have a go at fitting my power boost valve, the supplier is sending me the new part over the weekend.

Lets hope its the right one this time eh....

wot was missin paul????

anyone think i shoudl get a FSE boost valve? i got forced induction kit so lot of air comin in think the extra fuel would really make a difference on a saxo?

is the FSE just a brand or does it do somethin diffrent????

Yeah, Fitted mavericks today and he say's it makes a big differance, allot more responsive....
Just be sure to get the right on though...

The power boost valve does make a difference but i need to tune it abit to get the best out of it.

Thanks to Scooby the Power boost valve does make a big difference, more so when you tune it. Quick and easy to do, 1 spanner and a screw driver and takes just 5 min amost to get more out of your car.

I will post the pics of the power valve fitting once i have uploaded them....

This is just to come back to everyone about Power boost valves.. I have had a guage fitted directly to the valve. This has help me set it up to the best possible.. The valve now more fuel pressure when in idol, this then allows fuel pressure to be added when you put your foot on the gas..This final gives more reponse and pickup 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears...

Would you consider it being a worthwhile mod for performance ????

When set up right, I would consider it worth having. Not an expensive mod to have..
