N249 & Split R

[Pky]

Hey ppl, just done the N249 bypass, have to say, what?

my d.v now sounds crap.
responce seems a lil sluggish?
and to top it all off, i burned my finger

checked all hosing for leeks etc, dv has been reset... the white/black thing is the right way round (double checked!!!)

my dv seems to chatter, then dump (not much at all)

any ideas?

Ben.

Keep making small adjustments a run for a while. trail and error!

Now Std again, if anyone has this setup and it works... please let me know.

Played with it for hours! used 1/2 a tank of fuel, still doesnt want to play.

possibly due to the way the Split R valve works? Opposite to the std one???

im outa ideas :S

Peace.

ive got the same set up and to start with mine wasnt dumping properly but then had a play with it and it seems to be working ok now. Which picture ect did you use to copy the pipework from for the bypass?

I did the same on here:

question, when running with the N249, does your split r dump then chatter a bit when lifting off at sorta 3 - 4K ? ~ 20PSI of boost?

no matter how i change the 'turrets' it still seems to do it?

 

[freddie]

How have you installed your split-r? side connection needs to be on pressure side (TIP)

Thanks for the replys... my setup is making the trumpet/Blowoff bit of the car point to the right (if standing and looking at the engine from the front)

like this one:

is that correct?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

the splitter r needs to be installed the opposite way that the standard ones fitted. My trumpet points to the back of the engine bay, by the looks of that pic its installed wrong but they can be connected both ways but will only work 100% if installed the correct way

 

[Pky]

Ok... i think my Split R is the correct way, taken some pictures anyway....

The other way (the wrong way.. i believe) would look like this???

 

[Pky]

anyone? :S

 

[Myki da Pyki]

yes mate you have yours fitted the correct way

Yep i have this setup.....works fine...when i had the n249 it was holding the split r open alot...works fine now...get quite a loud chatter/chirp niose...love it!

Same here, I get the chirpy noise on mine. I checked with Forge as people were saying this is bad. Seems to be a normal characteristic of these valves.

Gotta love it tho, totally different to any over valve Ive heard

My mate got the split-r and it does sound sweet. I'm not sure whether to get on or just go the open cone filter with my 007 dv. As i believe to noise would be similar but not as loud??? is that correct?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

the 007 would be nowhere near as loud as the spliter r

ive still got problems. running a stage one map... it just sounded crap / felt crap


how many clicks you ppl for your Split-R's on?

im running Stage 1....

Ive lost count, i did it the original way 1st, full anti clockwise and then 2 clockwise. After a while i turned it a few more as the valve wore in.

Do u have a boost gauge? Maybe your not running full boost? I had a boost problem and the valve was silent, got it sorted and it soon came back. How long u had it?

Also double check its connected properly and ensure the small hose on the top of valve is on secure

Far easier just to T off a vacuum hose on the inlet manifold and run hose directly to your DV, should be plenty of vacuum and no electrical interference from the N249 because you're bypassing it completely.

A DV such as the Forge 007P combined with an open cone will give you dump noise not too far off the Split-R valve (plus no messing around with adjusters etc.!). I've tried both and the Split-R was only slightly louder. Being 100% honest the SPlit-R isn't worth the hassle.

I think i turned mine 16 clicks which would be 2 full turns which is whats recommended by Forge

i turned my split r valve 2 full turns...
sounds sweet
much louder than the 007p....
