Re: APC Valve - what to clean with? Posted by Kevin K [Email] (#374) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Kevin K) on Mon, 27 Nov 2000 21:36:05 In Reply to: APC Valve - what to clean with?, Tim Bicio, Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:51:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I used CRC, but any spray penetrant/lube should do. If you do in place, just one tiny 1/10 sec blast in the nipple marked 'R' . This is the relief, going to the intake pipe (links air meter to turbo).
Doesn't help to blow thru or spray other nipples, as these are isolated from the 'R' port, unless voltage is applied. Those two don't need cleaning anyhow.
Best to remove the valve, and shake out any excess lube. I did this. This cleans/lubes the piston, that gets kruded up eventually. I noticed it now holds boost better, before the normal control often dropped the pressure too much, and recovery was sluggish. Hold better with rpms now.
