Hey people just after some advice, had my WRX MY94 for a week now and I've already had enough of the awful Baileys dump valve it come fitted with.

Want to go back to a recirculating valve but going on peoples experiences what is the best one, heard good things about Forge valves?

 

tbh stick the standard recirc back on, u cant go wrong way better option that most aftermarkets

 

Mine also came with a baileys dump valve, ive got myself standard recirculating valve now and hoping to fit it today, everyone ive have spoke with recommend this over any after market dump valve !

 

forge are ok bud. baileys are pants mine came with 1 fitted and it kept sticking. binned it for a forge and its been fine.

 

They've obviously never taken one apart, must have cost all of 50p to make and are not adjustable or repairable. Not heard of any actual problems with forge recirc valves and different strength springs/spares available for my forge and no problems in 4 years. Methinks some people may just want to sell you their old crap.

 

There's nothing wrong with the OEM recirculating valve. I ran one on my previous car up to 1.3 bar of boost and it worked perfectly.

 

except they don't last long and are not repairable

 

Never heard of "Baileys" before? there is a company called Bailey though?

 

Tit.

Cheers people

 

I've never seen one brake

 

Don't last long? Not heard of any failures on here..........

 

Ive got a forge atmospheric dump valve, i find it good quality and reliable. What is the problem you are having with your Bailey valve? you have not been specific? is it leaking metered air? is it leaking on boost? or is it simply the noise that offends?
I am a fully qualified engineer to trade and have designed and manufactured many different types of dumpvalve personally and so my knowledge of this type iof thing is quite high.
Im currently running a modified Bailey atmo valve myself.

 

i have a gfb dump valve i bought for 45 quid are they ****? lol

 

ive got four tyre valves too! does that count?

 

Hope you are not calling me a tit?

 

The early ones can have a tendancy to break/split,which is why V3/4 had a much bigger recirc valve connected to a pipe off the intercooler.V5/6 were better still as they were made of alloy opposed to plastic and mounted directly on to the intercooler,for better efficiency.

 

do you love me?....I'm old Greg!

 

you have now, mine lasted 35k from new approx 3 years before diaphragm developed hole, mechanic suspected saying most don't notice as symptoms are not dramatic ( i didn't) and i found a reasonably priced forge so i replaced and carefully dismantled old one, 2 holes were there and not surprising really, like i said 50p worth. Do you really want a bargain bucket dump valve attached to your engine? it's a wrx maybe sti ones are better? at least you can unscrew and inspect internals on aftermarket ones which i did and quality appeared far better, haven't bothered changing spring rate seems fine out of the box but that's an option also.
