Sandals Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That seems like a very good valve. I watch those videos showing it off. Yeh, it's the 2nd one i've seen that is a hybrid one... and it's almost £100 cheaper!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I like how it's all adjustable. Spring strength and ratio of vta and recirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeh main reason i went for it was so that I can control how much vents so that the car is happy... Don't want to run the risk buying one that is full atmo in case my car doesn't like it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeEcho Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Noticed a low hissing when operating the clutch, even when static. The Internet tells me it's the throwout bearing. Not sure if I should be concerned or not based on what I've read! Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSam Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well, progress has been slow over the past month with, basically, a lack of money. However, I've just ordered all the new gaskets and seals etc to get my engine together! Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeEcho Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Got some proper wheels on now, they poke the smallest amount, but I think I'll get away with it. I'm surprised how much of a difference they've made! Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeEcho Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just the standard wheels. These are the same size, but I've gone from 55 to 35 offset. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Well done this today just to finish off the carbon wrap :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 BOV fitted... still tweaking it as the spring can be adjusted along with how much vents. Decided to try 100% venting and the car runs exactly the same as before... it occasionally has an extra pop from the exhaust but there is no hesitation from the engine at all. Overall... very pleased!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall... very pleased!! Nice this is the one I fancy thought it would be fun to have the noise every now and then but can spend most of its time closed. Also car looking good gambit. -- I make Films, Websites and social media for people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandals Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I did have the spring set to tight so the valve wouldn't open below 4000rpm... so got some turbo chatter then above 4k get the phhssst :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
