Due to "plans" I have one Dawes device for sale.

For those that don't already know these transform the power delivery of the car, both in smoothness and quickness and literally take 1 minute to fit/remove.

Show me another mod that gives these gains for £25

R.B.5

What is this device and what does it do to make the car better? If its what im looking for i'll buy it!

One more question. Can you set it up for my car as i do not have a boost gauge and wont be getting one either. My cars an RB5 with SS downpipe, itg ait filter and Prodrive bb. Thx

really you should buy a boost gauge before you get the dawes, you will be running your car blind if you cant see what is happening to the boost.....bad idea considering you can buy a boost gauge from £40 +

Yup you need a boost gauge, I can turn the device down so its running low boost, but you won't be able to set it up if you don't have a gauge.

If you email me at scoob_turbo@hotmail.com I'll give you my details.

I have a boost gauge etc, but mine is a japanese car, are they safe to run on the jap 1995 WRX's ? as the website gives advice not to install them.

dhorwich

doesnt it give instuctions on how to fit them to a WRX... i have one fitted to my MY95 WRX and i think a few people do on here.......

Do you get any noticable gain from them ? what boost you running ?

dhorwich

for all the info do a search there is loads of info...

See here:

The Dawes manual boost controller is a ball-spring device which costs about £35 in the UK and can give decent improvements in performance. It can be fitted in minutes with no tools required except maybe scissors. The main benefits are dramatic improvements in turbo spool up time, as well as a wider boost and torque curve - the effects of this can be quite considerable. However, if you push it too far so could the safety implications - if you are foolish you could lose your engine. In fitting any performance device to your car you should know what you are doing and if in any doubt consult a professional.

Documented experience on Scoobynet seems greatest with the MY99/00 UK models, and up to fuel cut (approx 17 PSI) most cars seem to cope well with fuelling and timing, although data in track conditions has not been collected. A boost gauge and air fuel ratio meter should be considered ESSENTIAL when fitting a Dawes. You need to also consider fuel cut, compressor efficiency, intercooler efficiency, charge temperatures, injector duty cycle, knock and exhaust gas temperatures. Bear in mind also that on part throttle there can be excessive boost on part throttle on cars with small turbos (MY98 on) which can affect driveability, control on bends, as well as cause lean running of your engine with potentially serious conequences.

Despite these issues, you will see from the threads below that many have worked ways around these limitations and are using the devices safely. Scoobynet, myself, Dawes suppliers or any of the posters in the below links/threads will not be liable for any personal injury or engine damage caused by any of your modifications.

oi thought i had bought it!!

mega_stream

Sorry, only just read your post above....I thought you didn't want it as you have no boost gauge

Do you deffo want it then?
scoob_turbo@hotmail.com

R.B.5

Ya man i want it. I'll get a boost gauge as well. So is it easy to set up?

mega_stream

Yes, I can turn it down to a safe level on my car, but I would not advise fitting it till you get the gauge fitted though as I've really no idea how its going to boost on your car based on what it boosted on mine.

Its just a spanner to unlock the locking nut, turn the body to adjust the length of the device, the shorter it gets the quicker your car will go

Be careful with it and its loads of fun
