What is the valve for on the picture? is it for restricting water so it runs warmer in cold water? and is the flow control valve at its right place? trying to learn the cooling of the blaster=) it has dualcooling installed by the pev owner, just checking so its rightly done, you never know!:smoker:

The inline restrictor valve is to adjust the amount of water flowing out of the engine, so you can adjust the engine temp for water conditions.
As for the flow control valve, you don't need it there.. That is to adjust the water flow into a waterbox. Your pipe chamber doesn't look like it has a stinger inlet on it, so you have no need for it. Normally that hose would go off the headpipe just like it is, but to to the stinger to cool down the exhaust hose. Then you would put a T in that line, and run it to your pisser. The idea of the flow valve is to keep your water box cleaned out when your at lower RPMS, giving better bottom end throttle response.

It looks like he does have a T in the line. it looks to me like there is a T that pisses the water out the left rear a few inches before the valve. The the water continues forwards to what may be the stinger (which would be at the tip of the pipe too low to see in the picture). It may be set up to restrict water into the stinger, which causes more water to go out that T pisser.

If what i just rambled about is right, he can adjust water flow to the stinger and not change the amount of water flowing through (or temp of) the pipe.

Thats possible. The chamber I had was identical, and didn't have the stinger.
I just assumed it didn't have the stinger, and that was going out the side. But not that I see that T before the valve, it would only make sense that it goes to a stinger.
If it were me, I would do it the exact opposite.. Flow control valve where the adjustable restrictor is, and the restrictor where the flow valve is. Then again I don't have any idea how he has the rest of it plumbed.
The flow control valve really belongs between the headpipe outlet, the one on top, and the stinger.
There are a ton of other threads on it. It should be setup just like any other 701/760 with a b-pipe, and a flow control valve.

Yes its connected to the stimger after the screw valve. before the screw valve it is a T that go to a pisser! i changed place of the 2 valves as i thought it wont make any use where it was on the picture?! now its located on the line that is connected to the stinger... is that correct?

i would say that they are backwards. that line in the top right. what is it leading to? i do like the idea of having that adjustment on flow from the engine. I was curious if i should run dual cooling cause i dont want the water too cold but with that idea why not.
