Decided to fit a boost guage with a recall feature. Will give it a good spank on the dual carriageway and see what it's making. If it's close to 10psi I think that's about right. Not a race bike, just something I've always wanted to build. Gotta build my kid brother one now coz its more powerful than his H2.

Aha. Now I get it. Doh! Thanks for clearing that up @Duckndive Enjoy the wake.
-
Can't understand why I don't have a boost reference. I assumed the spring controlled the boost as you can get different rated springs.
-
I don't have any boost reference pipes connected. I did have with old internal gate flap set up. I need to look into this further. It definitely lifts off at max boost. Thanks chaps.
-
See reply to @Duckndiveabove.
-
So boost doesn't lift the diaphragm against the spring in the waste gate?
-
I've got 2 nipples and 2 plugs in the box.
-
No bud. As it came fitted. Just wanted to be sure it was right.
-
No problems, up to now at least. I'm sure it'll rear it's ugly head.

I have a Turbosmart wastegate on the Blandit. It came with some plugs in a bag but no instructions. Can anyone confirm which are the water cooling ports I can blank off? Also should I run a vent pipe from it or leave as it is?

I can bring the Blandit turdo or the CB1157 or both.
-
That was a quick run up for my benefit. I'll get a better idea when I collect it. Turns out it was "mega rich".
-
@clivegtoNot too shoddy.
-
Also finding room for an unrestrictive fuel filter is a challenge.
-
I've made an adapter with a 10mm push on fitting. The only inline ball valve taps I can find only have a 6mm bore. They're also quite a big lump to find space for.
-
@Gixer1460Any particular Pingel you recommend? Decided to bite the bullet and spend the money.
-
Surely the weight of fuel would over come the floats? Trying to eliminate a fuel starvation issue. Vacuum tap would be great if it flowed enough.
-
As @Gixer1460said above. I have dramatically increased the flow which might be overwhelming the needles. They didn't flood with an 8mm fitting.
-
That all makes perfect sense @Gixer1460 I'm gonna try the 8mm fitting I had fitted before. Might even experiment with flow rates. See what difference is.
-
They havn't leaked once since I started putting the bike together Months ago. I've done several carb rebuilds now. Seems strange they suddenly leak after getting stronger fuel supply. I will strip them again. Might have got a bit of swarf through when I fitted the bigger outlet.
-
Ah. I'll test it with a full tank when I've fitted a tap.
