So some of us may have the DVs tomorrow then

I've bought stuff before from HK which was sent at 12.30pm on a Sunday and it turned up on my doorstep in sunny Wales Wednesday morning - thats better than some postal services within the UK!

I loved my SSQV on my old GTIR and my Scoob is running a bit more pressure so whould be a bit louder and hopefully get the odd pop and bang too - Probably isn't good for it but hey good to hear it

 

My dumpvalve arrived this morning many thanks simon just booked a night course on japanese so i can read the instructions

 

Nice one...

Well last time i bought stuff from Simon, he posted it on the thursday, and i received it the following wednesday i think it was..cant complain at that.

 

Parcel arrived! Hooray, now anyone care to post some english instructions?

 

Lucky Bugger

 

Second that one! still waiting.........

 

Just off to post office to collect mine!!!

Yipppeeeee

Can't thank organisers enough top marks.

 

Looks like some of the ones I sent in the second batch got there before the first lot

About the instructions, yes they are in Japanese but shouldn't cause any trouble as the fitting diagrams are quite clear and easy to follow.

Someone has already asked me about the bolt at the top of the SSQV and here's my reply:

As for the 1998 Impreza fitting kits, these are the same as the MY 1996-1997 (as marked on the box) so will be OK.

 

One small Q?

My DV has fittings to run a pipe from the front of the intercooler to the DV mounted on a bracket on the left hand side (as you face engine). I thought on MY00 cars it fitted directly to IC.

Not concerned by this as the pics look just like my car but with an STI IC. Just thought I'd mention it as many people tell one DV to another by how its fitted to the IC on Imprezas.

Trying to get the afternoon off to get the spanners out

 

Who will be the first to post some instructions (with pics)????

Yeah still waiting............

 

Here we go then, couldn't wait till the weekend so sneaked home early from work.

My car MY00 - The lettering on the rear window says "www.scoobynet.co.uk"


Standard valve in position and looking nervous (and very dirty!)


Off with his head! Valve and piping no problem to remove


Angled metal extension piping going on and fitting of bung. I used a bit of gasket sealant for the piping. Probably no need too but I can't see it causing a problem and ensures a nice seal. The metal pipe/hose under the IC bracket needed to be moved down a bit to allow room for the DV.


Standard OE valve and HKS valve


I fitted the bracket initially as it appears in the book directly under the valve rather than under inlet pipe. However doing this caused the bracket to be miles out.


So I fitted the bracket under the inlet hose. Once the hose was connected it didn't catch the bracket. However it was still far from a perfect fit.


The end result about half hour later. Sounds cool too. Its made a clean spot so looks like I'm cleaning the engine bay tomorrow.

 

Nice one mate.....

thx

 

lads it took me 10-15 mins to fit mine last night it is a tight fit but it really is straight forward

 

I say half an hour but that included a brew to warm my hands in the cold

 

Nice one - looks like a nice fit as you all shiny too

Can't wait for mine now

 

Hi guys, fitted mine today the dump at about 2750rpm is longish but if i change gear at about 4/5000 rpm its very short dump. Has any one whos fitted them adjusted them? how many turns which way? or does any one have setup instructions in english?

 

If anyone is after one for a 98 car...mine will be up for sale.

 

Johnny50 - why is it up for sale, not impressed with it ?

 

Fingers crossed mine turns up tomorrow.......

 

whats the best insert to get for the dump valve? purple insert or gold insert.. want it to be as loud as possible!

Borich

 

The standard silver insert was IIRC very LOUD m8 especially when running a Full Decat and Induction kit as you are.

 

oh :-) but once i get use to the sound ill be wanting more.

Borich

 

Nelson...lol..

Nothing to do with not liking it...i aint even got mine yet !

Just a slight hiccup thats all, i really cant get any dump valve to fit on my my00 intercooler, and seeing as my car is a 98, it just wont go.

So looking at alternatives for now.

 

Got the hks dump valve today and fitted it.. but its making a chrip sound and not that loud. my forge blow off is louder. can't read the jap manual not sure what im doing wrong? can it be adjusted? the bolt on the back i have had to both extremes and no changes in the sound..

Borich

 

Hmmm thats a tad puzzling Borich cos the SSQV I had fitted previously was quite a bit louder than the Forge ?? What insert does it have ? the silver one ? I had thought that the bolt on the back was not to be messed with ? I seem to remember someone saying that the bolt on the back was set up ready for that particular car I could be wrong of course ? Anyone else got any ideas ?

 

the only bolt i can see to adjust is the one at the back. did it to both extremes and all i get is chrip that ain't that loud.. the forge one is over twice as loud. am i being really stupid?

Quote:
The bolt at top of the SSQV is for adjustment of the relief valve spring inside it. Run it for a while and you'll basically get a better idea of how and when it releases. Also experiment to see which is best setting for your car.

Here are both extremes:

Tight Setting: the tighter the setting the more you get on the higher speeds.
Lose Setting: with this setting, slight throttle lift will release the valve.

The smaller valve (there are two valves) releases on throttle lift and is not dependent on how tight you have the bolt so I would say the adjustment seems to be for the bigger valve.

 

Hmmm - not sure now I must admit On the WRX the SSQV was bloody loud but I didn't mess with the screw/bolt on the back at all ?? Don't know then mate ?? Puzzled now

 

took car for a good run and u hardly here it during gear changes even at 6-7k rpm
