split r

[stumccaig85]

Hey im needing a bit of help. just fitted my new Splitter valve on my standerd leon and cant seem to get a dump noise off it, im not running it fully atmo though but i thaught it wld still dump? thanks guys.

two and a half turns in i think, try unscrewing the top all the way thus having the spring as soft as it can be and see if you get a whoosh, although it wont be loud because you are running standard boost and when you rev it on the drive you are not under load thus not making much pressure to blow off

 

[stumccaig85]

Tryed it

i have tryed it totaly unscrewed and only get a kind of purr if that makes sense. lol. will i need a cold air ?

Wot car have you got mate .
If its running low boost you may not hear it, also when you say its on full recirc mode does this mean you've got the blanking plate on and not the trumpet type bit

 

[RickC]

no you wont need a filter, look in the dv down the trumpet part, it should have a small opening, and the recirc bit should have a big opening, it has been known for them to be swapped upon manufacture,
a friend has one on his standard beeza cupra and tbh it sounds like an ant farting.

i suggest you get it remapped to make full effect of the sound.

Thanks i have the trumpet on and the hole is smaller on the trumpet side. will need the get it remaped i think. just not got enough boost presure. thanks for the help.

nice! mine sounds loud when in the car with the windows up.(and the radio off/down low(ish)). can't hear it with the windows down but i've not had the chance to have someone drive past me yet to hear what it sounds for an onlooker!

i've got a green panel filter and revo stage 1.

done nearly a full tank in less than 200 miles though! been driving so as to get a nice loud whoosh right enough so that probably explains it.

still loving the noise!

 

[satilaboy]

ran mine today in full recirc - was surprised to hear that the whoosh was still there - albeit much quieter than normal

what setting should this be with a stage 2 remap how many turns leon mk1 cupra r

 

[RikH]

there are no specific settings with the split-r
its adjustable specific to your car, its finding that setting that takes the time on occasion

 

[Deleted member 20376]

hmmm, i no it sounds stupid but how do you no when its perfect i only want it to woosh at high pressure.

 

[RikH]

trial and error

also depends where you run this valve, i only ever ran mine on standard boost but when i moved it to the TB-IC hose it was noticeably louder, could never hear it when it was on top of the TIP

mine was loud for standard boost compared to others ive heard

 

[caveo]

put mine back to full re-circ yesterday as the lag between gears was killing me and to be honest the noise is slightly better ( more of a flutter than a hiss )

 

[Deleted member 20376]

mine flutters and hisses flutter sounds cool though

I had a Split R for a while but wasn't impressed with it tbh

P.s When its remap time keep away from Bedrock veedubs in Motherwell!

 

[b_wain]

i have just put on Dynatwist kit and the hiss from my split R has more or less dissapered

i wish i kept my 007p

 

[CupraStoo]

a 007p with an open cone will sound better IMHO

 

[caveo]

will sound fantastic but will suck too much hot air in from aroun the engine, but if you only want sound.
