running rich problem

[jukie]

oh wait hold on ive read that properly haha theres things to check in that feeewwww !!!!

 

[jukie]

how do i check that its set up properly ?

 

[sambryant]

Don't worry mate 9 times out of 10 it's the dump valve or a split pipe. but in your case as you are running a atmospheric dumpvalve that's probably your problem.

 

[jukie]

back to plan A take of crappy dv get decent one then battery hopefully thatl sort it

Its not a fully atmospheric valve tho it recircs and dumps a bit of air......should be ok if set up correctly, my 50/50 valve was.

i thought it was if the blanking plate was off ?

 

[sambryant]

When I had my split r I also had a boost leak tester, I have no leaks what so ever. I'm -0.8 bar on the boost gauge at idle, as soon as I fit the split r, I get problems, also I no how to set it up correctly as awsome gti talked me through it.

You either have a blanking plate so its 100% recirc or you put the trumpet on and have 50/50

The valve still dumps back to the Intake with trumpet on?

 

[jukie]

but if its dumping air and sending sum back in theres 50% of air missing isnt that maybe why the ecu is goin ape **** trying to make u for the loss of air :s if that makes sense

 

[sambryant]

Forgot to add I only ever had it set up 70% recirculating and 30% atmospheric. Tbo I think the split r are poor valves, most people can't run them hybrid, only a handfull can

No I ran a 50/50 valve for months with no problems so do lots of other people on here.

If the valve is the problem it will be because it is loosing boost [not enough pressure on valve] not because it is not recirculating the air........as said me and a few other people have run 100% atmospheric valves with no fuelling codes or engine lights coming on.

 

[sambryant]

Good luck m8. The best thing you can do is call forge in the morning as they shut at 12. Order a blanking plate and run your dumpvalve as 100% recirculating, if that works then it's only cost you the price of a blanking plate to fix (£12)

 

[jukie]

No problem mate I was just trying to get across that although quite a few people do have problems with the split R its usually because they are not set up correctly to handle the boost and they leak.

I have a nice HKS for sale

 

[sambryant]

Just need an evo then how much do you want for it?
