Hi, I am looking for DataMater files from people using the Mini Gate. I want to see what others boost control looks like. Please post them or email me them at Kleoranly@woh.rr.com
Thanks,
Keith

i am not sure how to copy the file on my laptop to post it. i am looking to see how fast spool up is. mine is not very good at all. also in first if i do not lauch i am only getting 10 PSI in first. if i lauch hard with about 7+ PSI i can cat 15 PSI in fist. 17 PSI in 2nd and 20 PSI in 3rd. that better not be the best it gets with the mini gate.

What controller are using? I've used each of the following 3:
- Air Compressor Regulator
- JoeP MBC
- JoeP EMBC
- The regulator had very good control, regardless of the vac line size.
- The JoeP MBC never would get consistent with 5/32 or 7/32 vac lines.
- The JoeP EMBC is a little better than the MBC in that it is consistent, but still suffers from big changes in the controller.........meaning, the controller may allow 12psi and one push of the button will then allow 19psi. Just too big of a change for one push of the button.
I have a feeling that there needs to be a specific size vac line for the JoeP setup. Not sure how others are running it, but I've used 5/32 & 7/32 lines with minimal luck. I currently have the EMBC installed and have managed to get a solid 16psi on the current setting, but one push of either button results in either 10 psi or over 20psi.
Not trying to hijack the thread, but if anyone has any input on this, I'd be interested.

thanks for the imput. i am using a boost valve from boostvalve.com does it matter what size line i use? i got my got mini gate from someone that bought it and never used it. i never got the vac lines or fittings with it. i just went to autozone and got vac lines and a fitting that would fit.

That's what I did........I contacted Mike and was told to get 1/8 NPT hose barb fittings and just pulled some out of my brass section. I just got ones with 3/16 barb ends and used 5/32 and 7/32 hose. Not sure if this is the root of the problem or if it's the JoeP (in my case) valve that is flaky.
Gonna do some more testing tomorrow.

I used 6mm line with the compressor regulators on 3 different trucks, You dont want to go too small, there will be too much resistance and it will react slowly. Of course, too big and youve gotta fill up the line with more air.
I have my home depot regulator still if you want to try it. Although I could use it for a paint gun, so im cant really give it away.
Really you could go down an pick one up, and if it doesnt give you better results just return it.
If its not related to a different problem, I have a feeling it will controll more consistantly then the boostvalve.
If its true, then we can redlight the boostvalve as a controller for the ITS gates.
although, it does look like someone's having a little of the opposite:

I also used 6mm. I am going to try to run my hose from the tubo go the side port and see what base boost is next. I also still need to do my dump. i ran it 2 time with NO dump. DO NOT DO THIS. I melted my IC pump wires. :roll:

This is one of my runs last fall. Race gas cool temps.
It ran good all night with very little knock so I turned it up to T3-20
I'm using a pressure regulator inside the cab. I'm still looking for a better base spring(15psi) I think I may have one coming from Mcmaster-Carr.
I'll keep you up to date if it works.
