Noob question about dump valve

[sparky]

Is it true that the dump valve can be fitted without the need of the turbo ? and if yes how/with what do you fit it.

Lmao you're like my mate oooo i wanna get one of those things that making a swishing noise when you change gear

Me: lol what :S:S:S

My mate: You know a sump valve

Me: Err no?? Dya mean a dump valve?

My mate: yeah one of those dya think it'll sound good??

Me: That nosie is sexual! You getting another engine?

My mate: No lol why?

Me: good luck putting it on a 1.2 then

My mate: no i meant for the scooby

Me: eh, you ant got a scooby

Loool anyway thats from a lad lol what a idoit anyway no ya can't incase you're still wondering

An whistlers naff the engine don't they?

unless u got a turbo then no point in a dump valve lol

[hoody99]

and stay clear of the electronic ones lol they go off at the rong times lol ul b sittin at the traffic lights idleing and all ur hear is this very strange noise as if ya tyer just blew out lol

[mradz]

you can only have a dump valve if you have a turbo, it realises back pressure when gear changed giving the sound. the only way you can have a 'dump valve' on a non turbo is the electric sound effect, but as said above not worth it, imo steer clear.

Whistlers give that nosie though don't they?

you can get those saber fake dumpvalves that just sounds like a dump

they do sound realistic and are simple, its essentialy a speaker that plays the sound of a dump valve when you change gear
and you can also get them whistlers that fit in the exhuast which makes a sound like a turbo spooling up

which arnt very good and dont really sound realistic

but id stay clear of both as its as fake as taking off your vauxhall badges and fitting a ferarri one

[danthemann]

yeh there all pointless.just wait and hope someday u have a turbo car lol

i do, wouldnt go back to NA for anything
(save for a wankle rotery engine in my next car!)
altho i dont have a aftermarket dump valve, still dont see the point of em when the standard one works fine.

[sparky]

qoo 10x for the help i guess I should buy a turbo and then i fit the dump valve to it. hope it wont be expensive in my country or else i will get it from the internet.

[Octane2097]

you cant just bolt a turbo on it
best bet (and what most people do) is fit an engine thats already got a turbocharger like the c20let
its the cheapest way

[George611]

lol yeah engine with a turbo already is the best bet.. i was looking into getting a turbo for mine but theres no point the ammount of money you spend changing everything else thats likely to blow under strain your better off spending it on a 2.0l T jobby (2years and counting for me ) lol...
You could always resort to an mp3 sound of sumithing swooshing lol jus turn the volume up when you change gear lmao !

[mobiius]

IMO, fake = ghay! Just don't do it! If you want the sound, buy a turbo'd engine! Like I plan to do!
