I'm having problems finding a ball and spring type thing to stop the syphoning. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? I'll see if I can get a vid this arvo.

I do have a couple of different types of one way valve. I put one in near the tank but it does not stop siphoning. I have a different type which I will try.

However, I can not find any information anywhere that says what size the connectors are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron02 Member 164 Member For: 12y 2m 21d Posted 09/04/13 11:22 PM Share Posted 09/04/13 11:22 PM Yep, that's the same switch that I got.I installed a 2nd one way valve (a different type) in the line yesterday. Have not had a chance to test it yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron02 Member 164 Member For: 12y 2m 21d Posted 15/04/13 12:07 PM Share Posted 15/04/13 12:07 PM Hi Kroozin. That looks like a mighty powerful pump. You might need to use clips to stop the lines blowing off.Been trying to get hold of the washer check valve (anti syphon valve). Bursons etc have never heard of it. I'll keep trying.

I don't know really. Ill ask him to see if he can get a part number. I'm thinking of using these nozzles http://bit.ly/137QM8T or these http://bit.ly/15gU627 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroozin Menace Donating Members 1,990 Member For: 13y 10m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/04/13 11:26 AM Share Posted 18/04/13 11:26 AM Got the temp controller installed,Put the probe in the coldside pipe at the exit of the cooler.NO water spray:Ambient temp 24degBoosting in 1st and second gear, temp spikes from 24deg to 48 degreesBack off and cruise, temp stays around 35-38 degrees for about a 1km. and slowly comes back to ambient around 10 minutes.If I boost before 10 minutes, temp spikes higher than 50 degrees, and everything is getting heat soaked.WITH water spray set to turn on at 29 degrees.:Boost 1st , 2nd gears. Temp spikes to 38degrees, drops to 25 dgrees in about 30 seconds.Boost again and temp only hits 38 degrees, and drops back rapidly, heat soak is no issue at all.PROBLEM:I was suprised how much heat soak happens after parking.after my couple of test runs, parked for an hour, then turned on, and temp was 35 degrees. So spray pump came on and stayed on with no purpose, just dumping water.As soon as I started to move temp dropped, but general heat soak of the complete air intake system was hard to get temp below 28 degrees. After a few km of normal driving (not boosting) temp came down to 21 degrees.I think if the thermo fans came on for a few minutes on engine start, that would get the heat soaked air intake system down in temp quicker.?????????????????Hey thanks for the link on the china temp. controll you posted earlier.. just wondering if you could tell me what you got exactly from jaycar to modify your temp. probe to stick it in your int. pipe?Also how did you go with your check valve?Here is what I'll be putting together soon. Just need a checkvalve and that bit from jaycar + piping and a tank.mist nozzles: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221158855078?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649pump: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230961134090?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649hobbs switch: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330901456833?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649temp. cont: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290567953863?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
