I was wondring how important the pressure chamber really is, one of the plastic nipples broke off and I temporairly fixed it with super glue but if it gets hot and breaks again whats gonna happen? btw anyone have an extra for sale?

 

Use epoxy to fix the plastic nipple! And let dry fully! It will take the heat! You need that chamber!

 

oo, ooo me ME!! Try here http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-...leshooting.htm

At the bottom there is a paragraph entitled Pressure tank. That should help.

 

You should have no problems without the entire pressure system. Just a slow trasition which is better for mods anyway. Of all the FD's I've ever seen, I've only seen 2 with the pressure system working properly anyway. Most people don't even know it's gone.

I didn't until i went through replacing all my vacumn hoses!

WTF?

You need the pressure tank on a car still running the sequential-turbo system. I guess you've only seen non-sequential, single turbo, or not properly functioning FDs.

 

common misconception. The pressure system on every FD I've seen is only there to help speed up the changeover. It is only used redundantly on the turbo control solenoid. My FD's are seq. and whereas my current car runs the pressure system because it's all stock, my old efini had it stripped because I had intake, exhaust, boost and FMIC on the stock wastegate.

Don't beleive me? Pull the 4mm hose off the pressure chamber and drive.

Just get a new one it can't be that expensive. You could probably rig up a RC airplane fuel tank in place of it if it's expensive.

 

I believe you that the car will still boost, but the transition will likely be much slower and you will probably loose secondary boost in the lower gears. I don't call that a PROPERLY functioning system....

 

While I was under the uim I found the source of the problem there's a torn hose that leads somewhere down the turbos, I'd replace it myself but looks like to much work when I can just take it to Pro-Tech to have them do it. You think it's ok to drive 60 miles on the interstate to get it there? symptoms are start revs to 3500 then settles down to a 1k to 2500 rpm jump.
