Yeah, I never heard them called a "power boost valve" before. Must be a UK thing. I found this definition...<p>"The 'Power Boost Valve' is a pressure regulator, designed for use on 'electric fuel injection' engines with a special fuel enrichment facility for accelleration, commonly known as a 'Rising Fuel Rate'."<p>Sounds like creative marketing to me.

I read somewhere that possibly Miata clear side repeaters work on the MX-3.<p>There are quite a few owners from the uk on this board maybe we can organise a group buy which may make shippin cheaper. I'm in if we do this!

www.fuelsystem.co.uk, <hr></blockquote><p>So they say it enriches the mixture when accelerating - sounds tempting, but (unless you believe that all those car engine designers got it wrong, i.e. the mixture is too lean when accelerating) that implies that use of the device will give rise to an over-rich mixture. That will achieve - bore/ring problems with fuel wash, excessive soft carbon build-up and poorer gas mileage. Over-rich mixture will not give extra power.<p>[ March 31, 2003: Message edited by: IanL ]</p>
