I know its free flowing from one side and flow controlled in the other direction...
and its needle and ball/spring type

basically, if i had two 1/4" Male NPT x 3/16" hose barb

what do you guys think... would be better than a home depot mbc?

its the flow control valve in this link not the needle valve or the check valve

(look at second page)

 

ya i will but you need to screw fitting in at the ends to hook up vacuum hose to.

 

that's what i say up there!

the "check valve" would be a better choice IMO, rather than the "flow control"

 

i need more input!

 

i ordered one from mcmaster

i should have it on saturday or monday

i will let you know if it will work when i get it.

 

lol a check valve would not be better it only flows through one way

 

look at the link posted...

what they call a "check valve" is not the same as a conventional check valve...

the one they offer will need to be modified (drill a little hole) and thats it...

FYI, a manual ball and spring boost controller is a check valve

:1

 

ok, i got it in the mail today....


i will say this...


it COULD be used as a boost controller, but a new spring will need to be used. the one provided is EXTREMELY weak sauce.

the nut on top is extremely difficult to turn off the first time, they use a thread sealer so its not supposed to be adjustable.

im not sure how much work will need to be done to make it work as a MBC, but it can be modified to work, and i think it would be pretty easy to do.

i will look more at it tonight and see what i can come up with.
