Dump Valve??

[bingo999]

Hi guys and girls, is there any particularly good dump valve you can recommend for the VR4 a mate has said he will buy me one as i "have to have one" personally im not too bothered but if it will shut him up (and he's paying) then i say why not

[aboo]

You can pay around £40/£300 for a DV. I have a cheap HKS copy of ebay that has been on the car for over 2 years with no probs. There are a few that recommend the ones from amber performance. Last time I looked they were around £80.

cheers m8 will have a look :)

[sabreuk]

there is a couple of threads on this subject . but the 2 popular ones are the sard r2d2 and the hks ssqv i had the hks but changed for the sard, if you like loud the sard is the one to go for but brand new they are expensive.

[bingo999]

Cheers Craig, will speak to my man in the know as its the first turbo petrol i have owned so i have no idea whats what

[Wobble]

amberperformace are good @ around £80 will not leek at high boost and sound good.

[sabreuk]

32mm will fit ok 33mm would be better for a snugger fit :)

I've got VTA Baileys that sounds really good but tends to seize up now and then. Its not great for fuel economy either.

cheers steve, i think the last thing in anyone's mind on here is fuel economy lol! these cars are thirsty beasties. the one i saw has sold, knew i should have bought it when i had the chance lol but i have 10 days to find one so no great rush. :)

[SteveH]

True, but taking it off for a few weeks just as a test did show it made a notable difference....could just of been me not booting it to get a louder woosh though lol.

[low_vr4]

Sard r2d2's sound awesome

[bingo999]

I shall keep an eye out for the R2D2 then :)

[bingo999]

no when i realised how much they were worth i went to pay for it and was pipped at the post by someone else, never mind. there's a brand new one on ebay im watching thats £150 so may just bite the bullet and get that.

[bingo999]

will this one work?? seems to fit the bill. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HKS-Blow-off-Valve-SSQV-2-Adjustable-Black-BOV-Dump-Valve-baileys-boost-Turbo-/200675685812?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb933f5b4#ht_3441wt_1139

[aboo]

Yep that will fit/yes

[bingo999]

Cheers Andy ur a STAR! will bid on it last minute then :D

[bingo999]

Ive got the HKS SSQV will fit it the day i get the car :) be a good chance to get underneath it properly too

[low_vr4]

I had a hks ssqv on mine for a few days, its more whistle like then most and everyone has one so i sold it

[elnevio]

Some SSQVs are adjustable, depending on the model.

As for fitting it straight away on the day you get the car, I would advise against this if possible. Give it a week or two of using the car normally before changing anything. That way, you can tell if there is something wrong more easily. Try to only change one thing at a time and again leave it a week or so between changes/upgrades. It's just that if you don't have a useful base reference because you didn't drive it when it was stock, it can make it harder to identify issues further down the line. The same applies if you change more than one thing at once - if you only change one thing and there is then a problem, it is usually with the last thing you changed. A problem becomes much harder to trace if you have changed several things at once. :thumbsup:

[SteveH]

When changing the dump valve should the ecu be reset for fueling and such?

[low_vr4]

correct, just disconnect battery for a few mins
