i have bought a hks valve off of e-bay and when it arrived i realised it is for the earler classic engine (92-96 i think) but mine is a 99 is there any way to adapt it to work or am i better off selling it on thanks

You should be able to source an adaptor for it with a bit of work.
Effectively, the dumpvalve is the same, but it's attached to an adaptor with a circlip and this can be changed for different models of car. Finding somone who will SELL you that bottom piece will, however, be more of a challenge.

Of course, you could find someone selling / who will fabricate a mounting patten for the intercooler that will let you run a bit of samco hose from the intercooler to the dumpvalve and then mount it where you like.

so u would have a bracket made witch would bolt on to the intercooler where the standerd valve sits that u can run hose off of into the new valve the only thing i dont understand is what do u do with the other hose that comes from under the intercooler and goes on to the standerd valve

If it bolts onto the intercooler on your car then the part you want is 17660-015187 86mm pcd from bolt hole to bolt hole, but measure your original dump valve at first to see if it will fit, As I was looking for an adapter my self a while ago and emailed HKS Europe,and they sent me some pictures of various adapters. They may sell you the part or may give you Graham Goodes number as they did with me.If you do have to phone GG tell them Gary Finney from HKS EUROPE gave me your number and told me you would supply me with this part, and tell them the part number,as a lot of places I tried they weren't interested in selling me the part because I didn't have a part number.
Hope this may help.

thanks for that ill ring them in the morning but as i asked before what happends to the other thick hose that comes from under the intercooler and goes on to the original valve do u have to block it off like on the older engine where u have to block one off

Nick_o_Teen

Yes you have to block it off, I can email you the pictures they sent me, and you can decide for yourself which adapter you want.
