RobDon's Leon -

[RobDon]

I dropped off a few parts today at the bodyshop I use (Altered Image) to be painted, a new look for '09, to be revealed sometime soon. Should have the parts back next week.

To be painted - lol!

Cheeky fecker I can read!!!

I was asking if you were going to be getting armourfend fitted as now you car is going to be more track focussed and with you getting a new paint job done it might be prudent.

[RobDon]

Without a doubt the best looking seat engine bay ive ever seen rob. Nice to see the cars still getting better aswel.

10/10 mate

Cheers! I think I have finally found the dump valve for me - the Turbosmart kompact dual-port.

It's adjustable, looks great, sounds great and holds boost great - perfect! It's ALOT louder than a Forge Split-R but acts the same way, sequentially opening with some venting to atmosphere at higher boost. Got it from here:

Gives off a nice clean 'tssshhhhh' sound and is pretty loud - I love it! Pics soon.

 

[Willie]

Video or sound clip??

 

[RobDon]

Not yet, will do some once my car comes properly back out to play in the spring, today was just a brief outing to test stuff like the refitted SEM, lengthened injector harnesses, OMP steering wheel (airbag light off, horn working), Turbosmart working, etc., and make sure all is ok ... which it is.

 

[Scotty_b]

Looking good fella, you should be hired by most UK tuners as there prime test and development car!

 

[Faisal]

i take it that turbosmart valve being designed for a starlet,will work fine on a cupra?

 

[RobDon]

It's just a standard 25mm dual-port kompact valve, they just list it for the Starlet, I asked them before I bought it, they are the cheapest place to buy one including VAT and delivery.

 

[-SlicK]

Well mate i dont know how else to sum up this car and the work youve done, absolutely stunning mate.

Funny! I suggested this valve back in the earlier days. 05 I think it was. I bought one and used it for about a year or so.

 

[RobDon]

I never really considered it until I heard one and read up about them.

Finaaly someone that people will actually listen to wants the turbosmart dv now lol. I have told people many times on here that its an amazing valve but nobody really believed me. Ran one on my cupra and it was louder than any BOV ive ever heard let along a recirc. Feel free to ask me anything about it rob

 

[RobDon]

It's great yes, just messing around with the spring adjustment now to get it spot on, but it sounds great and looks cool too. I never considered the Turbosmart until I heard one of the dual-ports venting and it was alot louder than I thought it would be.

FG-BOV-KTDP25 (25mm): Hybrid-type BOV. Dual Port vents both to the atmosphere and back into the air intake. Dual ports with sequential timing allow quieter operation during normal driving, while getting all the benefits of a Supersonic BOV under race conditions. Easily converted to a fully atmo or fully bypass unit.

Theres a few diferent springs you can run with them aswel rob.

I did a thread with some sound clips on ages ago, car wasnt remapped when they were taken tho

Ive thought about gettin one for the skyline cos they run recircs aswel but still undecided on that one lol

 

[Grizzle]
