hi,recently got a r reg import sti,does anyone know exactly where the dv is??its a version 3..zaf

 

should be bolted onto the front of the intercooler

 

 

cheers for that guys, but had a look today, and defo not on the intercooler..?

 

It is there, ive got a version 3 and planning to put a blitz bov on it so i checked today. its not exactly where his one is on the picture but it sits between the intercooler and red manifold, ill take a pic tomorrow

 

this isnt my car just got some random pics from pistonheads but if you can see the red circles just infront of the intercooler, thats where your dumpvalve is, under that sensor

 

cheers for that ma99, gona have a look first thing in the morning,i was told its connected to the the black hose on the right next to the sensor u pointed too..?

 

Yes thats it on the end of the black pipe slightly above and to the right of the red circle

 

thanks for that rbaz..

 

If you do have a v3/v4 97/98, the dump valve will not be bolted to the intercooler and I get fed up when people offer advice when they don't know what they are talking about. rolleyes:
ma99 is right. Follow the pipe from the right hand side of the intercooler. It will be a black plastic bosch unit.

 

Zafar,

Chrispurvis is right - your cars DV should be along that black pipe heading down at 90 deg to the intercooler - like in the pics off Pistonheads (thats a v3/v4 engine).

Cheers,
Imran

 

MA 99,

Either your car's intercooler has been changed for a 99/2000 (version 5/6) model or your car itself is a version 5 or 6 as all ver 3&4 Sti DVs are as shown in the above pic.

Cheers,
Imran

 

My car is a version 3 and no its not bolted onto the intercooler

I think i was wrong when i said its under that red circle, ive been told today that it is actually connected to that black pipe that comes from the intercooler and runs down the side of it. its a black unit

chrispurvis is right

 

So was I
I have a V3 STI and so does Chris P I think.
