Hiya, is it possible to remove the stock dump valve to make the car chatter? its only running standard boost, so what the best way to do it? Also, is it a good idea?

Cheers guys,
Mike

 

Remove dump valve and blank off both ends.Then either buy a cone filter and fit or drill a few holes on the BOTTOM section only of standard airbox.This should give you the required noise your looking for.

And it will do no harm at all.

 

Undo loads of bolts from the suspension and drive it down a bumpy road
It will chatter like fook ,

 

Sorry But it made me giggle

 

LOL, nice one. I might try that tomorrow.

Mike

 

anyone got a pic of the dump valve by any chance?

Mike

 

its black, at the left hand side of the intercooler and joines to the hose that connects to the airbox, it is joined to the intercooler by a wee spout looking thing comming up from the cooler, hope that helps, its right by the slam pannel on the left of the amal valve

 

so do i remove the DV, then block the hole? like i did in my R5 on the boost hose.

Mike

 

yup remove the d/v off oth ends and block both holes with say the end off a broom handle!

 

You will have 2 holes mate(1 off either side of dump valve).Blank off both either with a proper bung or use a sawn off piece of broom handle as it fits a treat.You will also have a smaller pipe that comes off the top of dump valve that runs around to the inlet manifold this needs to blanked off as well.

If you dont blank off all the pipes on dump valve you will cause a air leak and the car wont run smoothly if at all.

 

class nice one

 

You don't - thats what Parrots are for, pmsl

 

I don't think you'll get much chatter out of a standard Coss's psi imo

 

remove the pipe that goes from the actuator to the amal valve

will fooking chatter like a bastard then

ya have got AA cover aint ya












oh actually may not be a good idea

 

 

it will chatter, not as loud as a dump valve probs, still enough to let you hear it

 

done it, and you cant hear it that much, so im gunna get a K&N for it, and stage 1 chip it, that will be better.

Mike

 

When i had my Gunship stage 1, i had a K& N Panel filter in the original airbox and it chattered its tits off

 

same here tiff,but then he run alot more boost than standard

 

 

Back to the gunship thing, i was speaking to someone today about it, and apparantly it really pushes the standard injectors to the limit, is it a good idea?

Mike

 

there not on there limit,but close
listen mate,why dont you just go and get some greens and a 3 bar and then you will feel alot happier

 

cos i cant afford it, lol. one more Q...., when theboost drops down to 16 psi, does it feel like a big power drain, or is it gradual?

Cheers for your help,
Mike

 

you dont feel in at all,even in fifth really,but it just loses its pull
personally i'd advise you to go stage 3 mate,as by your comments you will always be worrying about your engine.thats not a dig dude,just seems that way to me.even though its as safe as any tuned engine can be.but then karl has spent many many hours on mine and tiff's getting it right
if you come to the essex meet tomorrow mate,i can take you out in mine

 

yeah, i am worried about it blowing, but only due to headgasket problems, thats all. are you running the gunship on yours then? as the gunship only give you 15bhp more, i may play it safe and go for the normal stg1. i should go down to him and speak to him properly about it when i get it done.

Mike

 

yes mate,but then mine and tiffs run slightly more boost than the average gunship,lol
you will defo need a grp a headgasket,or be prepared to have one fitted when it goes
you may be better off with a normal stage 1 conversion,you would be surprised the diference it makes just doing that

 

ok, cheers buddy.

Mike

 

[quote="boXXer"]done it, and you cant hear it that much, so im gunna get a K&N for it, and stage 1 chip it, that will be better.

slap a set of light greens in it also for a bit more safety as they will fuel it upto 300 bhp

 

mate pops stage 1 gunship has been working well for a year now, cpould be more and he dont exaclty treat his car gentle

either do the gunship or get karl to live map it on light greens ( but then ya could just go stage 3 tbh and find its prob easier too

 

I did 4000 mile on my Gunship conversion and it never missed a beat. That includes numourus top speed runs aswell
