Rick,

Depending on where I look in my 85 FSM the timing is 20 or 25 degrees at idle. This really surprised me until I realized it is for the turbo models. What I was looking for was the maximum amount of advance that would occur at 4800 RPM. Is it still 25 degrees or does it increase as would be expected?

As usual, thanks in advance,

Stephen

Hello GD,

You have been helping me with my 85 EA-82T rebuild. I have obtained a BOV that I have installed so that it is really a bypass valve. It is a diaphram valve with the top half of the diaphram having a fitting to attach a hose and being countered with an adjustable spring. My question is where to attach the upper diaphram hose to. I would assume the intake manifold as the goal of the set up is to have an automatic bypass if my wastegate were to stick closed and prevent the turbo from developing more than 7 PSI. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

Hello GeneralDisorder,

It has been a while since I have talked to you so let me remind you what I am doing. I am rebuilding a 1985 EA-82T and yes I am aware of your dislilke of that engine. However, I am not interested in making a race engine just stock HP at a stock RPM. All internals are stock with the sole exception being the TD04. I have also added an intercooler to help with the inlet temperatures. Now for the question, I am trying to find a "mechanical over pressure valve" just in case I slam the wrong throttle or wastegate at the wrong time. But all the ones I find seem to be designed to make the most noise as possible which I am not the least bit interested in. All I want is a small, simple, settable, pressure regulator. Any suggestions? Please e-mail me at steate@compositecooling.com.

Thanks very much,

Stephen
