Turbosmart DV

[Seat Gooner]

lol what you done to it thats the worst review ive seen

 

[LEE69]

lol mate thinks it could be too big as they are 34mm reduced to 25mm.

 

[Mr Roboto]

I got one on the way but how are you guys securing the vac hose on top of the DV?

 

[LEE69]

Cable tie is enough.

 

[Seat Gooner]

i couldnt get a cable tie in there but its been there for over a month and i did a 3 hour drive too and its still ok i might give mine a service soon (D.V)

Has anyone noticed a slight increase in fuel consumption? I seem to be getting much lower average mpg since fitting this. Before I averaged 27 now it's more like 25 mpg.

 

[RobDon]

You will get that with any atmospheric valve yes, due to running slightly rich when the valve vents to atmosphere. I reduced my decreasing load fuel settings slightly to compensate for this slightly rich condition, seems to work. I'm running a 100% atmospheric Bailey DV26 BTW.

^^ have you had any issues with it pal?

 

[RobDon]

Nope, none at all!

 

[Hilla LCR]

Lol That's pretty damn interesting!!

There doesn't seem to be any pattern to what DV can be used, I've been running my Turbosmart for 3 months and not a single fault/light has come up, but some people put it on and it limps straight away??

Strange....

 

[RobDon]

Indeed, I tried the Turbosmart dual-port and was getting the 'pressure drop - check DV' fault code with it, yet with the fully atmospheric Bailey DV26 I don't ... weird!

 

[Hilla LCR]

Ha ha! I take it you bought the TT fitting kit?

 

[Seat Gooner]

when you say slightly run rich, will this cause any problems else where e.g. cat problems and i don't mind using a couple of extra mpg for the noise

How often should you refurbish the turbosmart

 

[kineticz]

I too have noticed mpg reduction, oh well

 

[Seat Gooner]

oi lee hows yours going lol

How did you change the fuel settings? I am wasting too much fuel and money for my liking.

If I wanted to put it in full recirc, is it a simple case of removing the trumpet and screwing the blanking plate on or is there more to it?

What are the differences Lee? Out of interest.

 

[LEE69]

Turbosmart was crap, could never get it to set up right, it loved setting the eml off, GFB doesn't.
