Home made MBC (manual boost controller)

[EclipseRST]

well my AVC-R took a shit on my today as i was setting everything for the stock motor i had to put in... i think something shorted out on me so i went to the hardware store in search of some parts to make a MBC! well after searching a few places and not wanting to use a focet nozzle or a hose nozzle cause thats just ghetto i ran into these parts at a local Daniels Ace Hardware

#1 = $2.79



#2 = $0.37ea...



and i pressure tested it to 175psi cause thats all the higher my air compressor goes! and in the end it looks like this!

All complete = $3.76 after tax... beat that!

[Chavez408]

I put a dime into a cigarette lighter because I thought it would get really hot, but actually it just shorted out the dash light fuse. It was dissapointing. I assume you did something similar to your AVCR?

Nice dude, let us know how it works! Are you sure that screw-bar thing at the top will hold solidly enough to be set at a certain boost?

Hey if that's a needle valve it'll probably be fairly precise for adjusting.

[EclipseRST]

i was fucking around with it and i can turn it 7 full times before its completely open and completely closed so i set my compressor valve at 25psi and hooked it up to it puting the boost gauge hose on one side so i could monitor it and the compressor hose on the other and about every 1/4 to 1/2 turn it lets out about 1 psi! so i think it works pretty good!

[joemathews]

Well gee Jake, you won't get to use it if you never get your cars running again

What a poor excuse for a mechanic!

[DSMDude]

do u think the thing will stay solid when you turn it to where you want it? like the spring does in most mbc's. also does like a bolt just close in in side of it or is it needle valve or wut?
