So..

Today was an interesting and productive day..

Up at 6, had my coffee and fruit. While the kids and wife were still asleep I managed to put in some fresh oil after the initial flush and also added some new water with another flush. 2 flushes should hopefully clear out the system. If not, I've got another bottle ready to be used...

While sorting out the GTO, I had to quickly fix the Stagea (tail gate swap out due to rust) and then pick up some parts (GTO stuff) for the car. I found a wrecker who had parts 10 years old and he just wanted them gone...

So the funny thing is while in the work horse (Stag) I was cruising down the road and spotted 2x GTOs on the road! In my hood! So the wife quickly tool some photos for me and they were the same 2 people who attended our last 4GT get together near Doncaster.

Must be a sign!

no wastegate -> no fun when your bouncing off the 30psi boost cut. lol

so BOV trying to control the boost ATM

Manual FWD

Cant wait to see the 1st drive video, that borg warner looks the goods!

yeah waiting on the misses to get me a better camera as the phone can't do the job in low light

Took it out before to get an idea on the boost response which is interesting as it has no wastegate.

30psi boost cut in the ecu is taking care of boost control duty ATM. lol

6 years is long enough... I'm going for a drive!

The weight of the valve and hence the amount of power/energy to accelerate and decelerate.

Compare it to a injector which have been around for a long time and pretty well optimized.

Basically the same concept but with a much lighter valve and they only manage 1mS (approx) open/close times.

now you have 10-100x the weight hanging off the solenoid which would make for a very slow valve.

So you could try just run more current through your solenoid...

but for your typical peak/hold injector of 4 amps you would be somewhere around the 40-400 amps PER valve.

Then you have the problem of slowing the valve, as fuel injects have a liquid between the seat and valve they can pretty much just hit them together as it acts as a lubricant/buffer(my thoughts)

Try that on a head and you'll damage the valve and/or seat.

then you have the problem of distance.....................................

injector only has to move in the order of 1mm but your intake/exhaust will need to move more like 10x that distance.

solenoid force drops off exponentially with distance sooooo.

yet another factor complicating matters

Just off the top of my head but probably many more this to overcome.

Nothing is impossible
