A mate's getting a focus rs this week and wants to know if changing the standard recirc dump valve for an aftermarket one like bailey or graham goode would be ok?... i know some cars don't like atmospheric valves fitted!!! how many FRS owners have done this?

Also, as it is completely standard at the mo, what other mods are worth doing early on?

cheers

 

Check out Tech Q&A - I asked this too!!!!

If you search for posts created by Willow in the search you'll find it in Tech Q&A - answer is yes they can be fitted - has little effect - just bought one and will be fitting this weekend. Let you know how it goes!!!!!

 

cheers for the reply... i'll have a butchers...

 

Fitted and it's all good!!! I recommend getting one!

 

cool!!...

what dump valve have you gone for?...

have you fitted an induction kit?...

 

Got the Bailey one! - it's easy to fit!

And no induction kit yet - using a K&N replacement filter but not changed it for a cone jobbie yet.

Got a decat pipe coming soon hopefully so that'll spurce things up in the BHP field!!!

Then it's induction kit and Bluefin and hopefully somewhere near 270BHP 300Ft/lbs torque

 

sounds good.... keep us posted on your progress!!!!

 

Will do!!!!! Samcos going on today if it stops raining!!!LOL

Engine bay is blinging with more to be done yet!!!

Willpost somepicswhen I get my digi camera back from repair!

 

I had a Bailey DV26i on my FocusRS, the car ran really rich with it on - no noticeable loss in power and nothing to indicate any issues but a rolling road showed up the problem and I have since removed it!

ok cheers... something to bear in mind!...

 

Watch out for stalling!!!, but fit bluefin and that should correct it after about 200 mile.
