I have a question regarding the Gardella's Civic boost control setup.

In my old school issue of Modified Mag, there is a engine bay pic of the civic which shows a line coming from a boost source to the side port of the WG, and then a line with a regulator valve inline going to the top port.

I'm wondering if there is any other means of boost control with that car? (DFI controlled, EBC?...ect)

 

I think thats guys playing around with their competitors heads... Jojo also had like a turboxs boost controller on his integra back when it was in a magazine.

 

Co2?

 

Well...the pictures I have, don't show any CO2 bottle.

I'm wondering this, because I have the same style of air valve, but I'm not really sure how it would control boost like that.

The spring is what opens the valve (backwards from a ball/spring). I'm trying to think this out, but I have no idea if it would reliably control boost?

 

Is there any chance you can post up pics?

Hrmm...I can see if I can find them on the net...

 

its just a inline air regulator, all youre doing is supplying air to the top of the WG diaphram, the more air you give the more boost it will run.

Thats what I was thinking, but I wonder how spool up would compare with just a ball/spring controller?
