I've completed my 1st week of ownership of #0005 FRS, well had the joy of driving twice!!

Anyway, it has a Bailey dump valve. I've read quite alot and been advised a recirc dv should be fitted. I'm no expert on dump valves, could anyone tell me what this dump valve is; Recirc or atmospheric. Cheers in advance.

 

It's an atmospheric i would change it as it can cause problems with stalling ect..

Recirc will be located here will have been blanked off on yours

Hope this helps

 

hey rick

i have a question for you...what kind of plastic plate is it that you have fit over where the hood lock goes..,,,with the vents...is it something you made yourself..or is it from a specific kind of focus?

cheers from stefan,norway

 

Hi mate it from Car parts express , makes a really big difference to the temps and recovery time , been proven with testing.

Not cheep at £113 but makes just as much difference as a up rated charge-cooler

 

I have an atmospheric dump valve on my focus and ive had no issues

 

cheers mate..ill look into it...wondering about just makin one myself..as a little project
but the one you have looks good aswell..and if it actually "works" aswell..thats a good thing then

 

Cheers for the replies guys, i now have a Forge DV, just waiting on a few hoses from Roose. The engine bay will be in for a clean bit by bit as I get around the engine bay.

RSRick, the CPE plastic plate seems to good purchase, cheers for the CPE link. Looks like they'll have a few more sales!

 

Where the recirc is fitted in the pic is that hose off turbo? Then the hose comes to charge cooler?
