Dump Valve noise

Righto

Now I got my DV working i'm thinking it sounds a bit naff! (I know, I never stop complaining :lol: )

It's a SARD BOV which apparently should sound the bollox. Basically the dump sounds like a really low rush of air, instead of a more chirpy hiss like most of the Dump Valves I have heard up until now.

Does adjusting the spring tension also adjust the note?

You can hardly even hear it with the radio on :roll:

my mates got the sard r2d2 on his s13 and that kinda hisses aswell so its not just yours,

My granny scarer makes all sorts of noises, under minimal load/boost it wont open and you just hear air through the tubby, bit more boost and it will hiss and tisscchhh, at full boost it will wake the dead :lol:

You could try winding the the screw out a bit. It will put less tension on the spring meaning the valve will open at lower boost and offer generally less resistance to the piston. It may then become louder :wink:

also seeing as its just started working it becomes louder as the more boost you put throu it and when it starts to be run in for a while

No, it was my post and it was about taking the vacumn line from somewhere so that it actually made a sound full stop
