Alan-G Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I can't seem to find a suitable dump valve for the newer 2.5 Ltr WRX that I've just bought. Anyone got any ideas and/or prices. Thanks in advance. Alan.
the squiggle Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 The std one on it is sufficient unless you want the noise that will accompany a Vent to Atmosphere dump valve
Alan-G Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Thats the one mate. NOISE ! still waiting for me exhaust to arrive [:'(]
st3ph3n Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 There's lots of pros and cons regarding fitting VTA DVs, but I've had mine on for well over a year now without any issues, although I do change my oil halfway between services, if not more. I'm pretty sure from looking at a MY06 that the flange is the same as the other new ages, so any should fit. Perhaps someone can confirm that though. Best advice - don't skimp and buy a cheap one.
Alan-G Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 So, whats a cheap one mate ? What is ' about the right money ' ?
st3ph3n Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I have an HKS SSQV, which I got off ebay from a seller in America. It was brand new and cost me about £165 including postage. Jimser also got one recently for about the same price. They all make different sounds too, so it might be a case of trying to find someone with one and having a listen. Tomorrow at Knockhill would be ideal as there might well be one or two subarus there [] Other good brands - Blitz, TurboXS, Turbosmart, Forge. I wouldn't swap my HKS one for anything.
Alan-G Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Many thanks for that st3ph3n. You going to Knockhill tomorrow? Me and fab 1 are going... []
dipsy Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I have the standard dumpvalve on the 05 jdm sti and can hear it more after fitting a green panel filter
st3ph3n Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I'll be at KH tomorrow on the track. I'll be the one with st3ph3n on his shirt.
Alan-G Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Nice one, Hopefully see you there Stephen (I take it that your name is Stephen?)
Alan-G Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Just joined your website. It is one the best I've seen yet, (web browser maniac)
