So what have you done to your car today?

[Shackeng]

I was thinking would that do, but what kind of pressure comes out of the filter as the outlet pipe from the filter is smooth with no lip for the jubilee clip to hold on

Use one of those pipe clamp clips Joff, that seal up tight.

Got to be better than £60  (and then get the right part when another estate goes for bits) then I will be able to move it on the drive

If you use ISO 7840 fuel hose, it should last indefinitely 

Readily available from chandlers etc

[minifreek]

I wired the butterflies open as an experiment, Im not a oppsing retard unlike you who cant work out how to wire a spare battery into the boot... not hard really if you sit down and do the math...

[05omegav6]

I'll freely admit to being no electrician. That question was about whether it was necessary and the best way of approaching it

If summat doesn't work as advertised, then there must, by definition, be summat wrong with it. The multirams are there for a reason... I could link to the detailed and informative item in the Maintenance Guides about them, but given you'd not likely read it, I frankly cba

And if we're going oppsing, best bring some johnnies, wellies and a torch

Now now children, please re-read the rules

Sorry Dad

Re read and noted.

Jubilee clips on hose work fine in such situations, I've done several FI conversions that way. Although I do like to have plenty of pipe inserted into the hose wherever possible, just to be sure.

Washed waxed and debadged the backend

Boosted the battery in the shed . Sling it on the car at the weekend , bet the exhaust will fall off it

Baffles were rattling last time i started it so hoping they just fall out with a few pumps on the gas

Just checking its not seized

Today (actually yesterday) I fitted a brand new K&N filter then proceeded to permanently open the butterfly valves on the plenums

The result - a much smoother accelerating Omega and power there when needed not when the flaps open (haha) at 3500 RPM

Oh lordy

Why didn't Vauxhall think of that?

Could've saved them a fortune.

I guess you don't often need much under 4K RPM, then?

That sums it up really...

There's an absolute goldmine of information here in The FAQ section and Maintenance Guides, yet people still insist that they know best...

If the you understood the way that the multirams operated, then you would have established that summat was amiss, but rather than investigating/fixing the problem you have disabled them.
Experimenting is one thing... Being totally retarded is another IMHO

If holding the multi ram open sees an improvement in performance, I wonder...


...where they working correctly to start with...? I'd suggest not.
