I got a plate made up today.
The car does run sooooo much smoother now! I've never ran a recirc as the car came with a BOV. The little squirrel isn't too loud to be honest. Thats with a K&N Typhoon, standard turbo intake, and a VF35. |
bmw 335D?
A tractor would beat one of those pup motors! (watches yet another diesel bmw disappear in his rear view) |

could be the spring is not strong enough causing air to leak out the dump valve but i could be wrong

Do you mean you still have the bit of hose that previously went to the DV's vac nipple, still attached to the T-piece, now venting to air?!
The ecu's not cutting boost, so I think it's a bit unlikely it's actually making 1.7bar..:eek: Only did a short evaluation drive today, I'll give it a better test tomorrow. Will let you know if the engine grenades itself..:lol1: |
i am surprised no mention of poss maf damaged i removed my d/v but it killed my maf after 2 weeks so now use a nissan ome recurc d/v very good at holding boost and a nice fit between fmic & recurc pipe

Lol, they'll find out one day, just a question of whether they'll accept it and hold their hands up..! :D |
I will never hold my hands up :D ;)

Can I ask....
What does a recirc valve sound like? The BOV gives a Woooooosh, the blanked gives a Squirrel noise, what does the recirc give? |
Very similar, just much quieter. Removing the intake silencer (snorkel) and using a free flowing panel filter makes them audible like VTA's, but at about a quarter of the volume.
|
I've got a cold air intake on :)
|
Then it will sound pretty much like a VTA dv then :)
Banny |
Cool, thanks :)
Can't fit the recirc yet, as the previous owner cut down the pipe going to the turbo intake, so it doesnt reach...... So just waiting until I get the new turbo, fmic etc on. |
Oh, also......another dumb question.
When I fitted the blanking plate, the pops and bangs stopped...which is probably obvious. But, when I was stationary and revving the tits off it to see what it was like, there was a few huge bangs (only when stationary), it sounded like anti lag. It only did it when stationary though, and hasn't popped once while driving. Any reason for this? |
Think i`ll stick to my HKS dump valve,not sure the TD05 will cope !
|
I've had my 20g blanked off for 6months or so now, not had any problems :thumb: Remapped by JGM running 380/365 and loving it :D

Don't be so sure. My mate has one and standard it walked all up and down a 390bhp STi. In the twisties AWD and a full AST set-up saw the Scoob regain the advantage though. The same 335D has recently been map'd to iro 335/500 (from 280/430) so the in gear performance should be even better. Standard they are quicker 30-70 than the 5.0 litre V10 M5 (3.3s vs 3.7s), Prodrive quote 4.7s for the 06/07 STi PPP.
|
Obviously your car is well up on power, but the vast majority of Scoobs running less than 400 lb/ft might be humbled by such a machine. Over distance it would definitely beat you though, as you'd need 3 fuel stops to his one :lol1:
|
I would say 5 stops as mine is realy bad on fuel :D
|
I presumed as much :lol1:
I recall someone on here saying that on their way to The 'Ring they kept overtaking the same diesel Land Rover all the way, even though they were averaging 100+, as every time they pulled in for fuel he just trundled past them :D |

No. The Mitsi TD's are the best turbos to go DVless on. Tougher than the IHI VF's... :)

Not wise to go DVless on early VF's; okay for the later ones; totally fine to do it on the TD's. This is what I understand the general consensus to be. :wonder: |
What are the early VF's?
|
VF22 through to VF29, basically any VF that came on a classic impreza
Banny |
My "blanking off" plate is a small length of "emergency hose" from Halfords and sink/washing machine waste pipe blank on the intake and a length of Samco and another on the i/cooler pipe :D
I did think of brass blanks but thought "weight saving" ;) |
