How much of a difference does a power boost valve make to an engine, I have heard that it gives you a few extra BHP, but I have also heard that all it does it give a smoother throttle response, no extra BHP, is it worth getting one?

RE: Power boost valve
My cars a 1.6 8v GSi by the way.
RE: Power boost valve
Best thing to do john is have a word with Rob the rolling road guy at Powerzone. He managed to get 137 BHP at the flywheel out of my mates nova GTE with a K&N, Power Boost Valve and Magnex Exhaust System. I know it's unbelievable but i saw the meter as it measured it. Both owners who had it before my mate said the only mods they'd made were the ones above. So overall i'd say yes it does make a difference to BHP.
RE: Power boost valve
foooookin ell'!!!!!!
I am getting a full magnex exhaust and manifold(from powerzone), so I think if I can get the powerboost valve aswell before the rolling road day, I will be happy!!!!!!!
RE: Power boost valve
with induction kit and exhaust system it should make quite a bit of difference i would think. get the lot though dont fit them one at a time.
RE: Power boost valve
already got the induction kit, will be getting the exhaust at the rolling road day
RE: Power boost valve
the power at the wheels though will be about 10-20 hp less to make the bhpjust so you know thats all
RE: Power boost valve
if your getting the exhaust at the rolling road why not to a before and after?? put standard filter on then exhaust, valve and induction kit. this be the best way to see how much power you get out of it.
RE: Power boost valve
137bhp with a zorst,K&N, and a power boost valve?
I'm very sorry if this upsets you but that is BOLLOX it defies the laws of physics for fuck sake if that engine is reading that is has to of had something else (well alot!) to get anywhere near that.
Unless the rolling road is in need of a service.
Jimbo very, very, very unconvinced.
RE: Power boost valve
Jimbo. It was Powerzone in Padiham where our rolling road shootout is and several others have been held. I think Rob will be doing the rolling road so you can ask him. He knows the car pretty well.
