Tuffty if you could have any valve in the world for free, what would you fit in your car. (pretend you didn't care about looks, purely performance and sound)
Oh forgot to mention the split r is relocated to the cold side
post cat lambda should remain plugged in for adaptions to work
I always thought it was the pre-cat lambda that played with the fuelling adaptions and post-cat was just a cat efficiency check?
Right so a quick update, I've booked the car in for a smoke an vacuum test on Monday an hopefully that should point out the problem, if not then I'll replace the split r, only problem is I love the blow off noise it makes I know it's childish but I love the phsss when you let off the throttle, is there anyway of getting another dv that makes the same noise but isn't prone to leaking? Cheers.

What air filter or induction kit do you recommend? Was thinking about the bmc one.
Tbh I'm not fussed how it looks in the slightest as long as it does what it's supposed to, I'll order a new oe valve tonight, I'm going to miss the classic dump valve blow off noise I must admit. Will the oe valve still fit ok even tho it's been relocated to the cold side, I'll take a photo tomorrow bcos I'm pretty sure the split r is supposed to be recirculating by a hose on the top? Mine doesn't have any other than the main inlet I think.
So how do I get one of the badger 5 induction kits? I've just been on their website an can't seem to find much other than throttle bodies an a kit for a seat, just ring up?
why is there no hose to the top of the DV valve - is it supposed to **** boost away at all times?View attachment 43090 So i got a pic this morning.

Cheers for the input, I knew it looked wrong as soon as I saw it! So I'll get some Hoses an what not along with the full silicone hose kit I'm getting an try an sort this mess out. An ill grab one of those badger 5 kits while I'm at it. Tbh I've driven cars with atmospheric dump valves before an knew something was up as soon as I drove it but wasn't sure exactly I thought it might be the spring in the dv at first then saw it didn't have a hose to recirculate. Half the fun is playing around with the car getting it right
Is awhp a yank term? I thought it was just a different method of measuring the cars power. Instead of measuring at the fly you're measuring it at the wheels, and since its an awd car that results in awhp.Get it done and don't come back until you are ready for a build thread with lots of pictures LOL...
...and don't use the term awhp... thats a yank term.... we are British here you know ;P

Once you know a car has x awhp, how else can you refer to how much power it makes? Because it wouldn't have x fwhp (bhp)
Yeah you've explained that to me before. But if you only know your wheel horse power (some dynos don't give flywheel hp) you can't convert it yourself as far as I'm aware (you can make an educated guess). I know my car makes 530rwhp, I have no idea what that is at the fly so I couldn't quote it..Pretty sure we have covered this before... all dyno measure wheel horsepower... its how they work... coast down losses are whats important and this gives you the flywheel horsepower...
Wheel horsepower will vary depending on the extent of these losses which are subject to things like gearbox oil temp, tyre temp, how much glue uses to stop wheelspin on the dyno from the more powerful cars...

But back to my original point, how is saying awhp American?
Ahh stupid me. I thought you knew a magic way to convert whp to fwhp hahaIt was kinda meant more as a joke dude... and whp is all the yanks talk about horsepower... that is all

Yeah, the dynos I've had my cars on don't measure fwhp. So I thought it was a bit harsh that Paul was telling the guy not to quote awhp, when he might not know any different. But what I didn't realise is that Paul was joking hahathey will ALL measure atw, but then some dynos will ALSO measure coastdown losses and combine that to the atw figures to give fly.
atw only without a "measurement" of coastdown is not taking into account anything in rolling losses, and is'nt the whole story. It is of course the usa way of doing things but its subject to massive dyno lottery and their "atw" figures are more like are @fly figures such are the over reading dynos in abundance.
