98 c70 t5 manual dump valve question

[big shrek]

i want a nice loud dump valve for my t5 gt c70,which one should i go for? its got a bailey one fitted at the min but for some reason its not working,there is a thin rubber tube coming out the top of the dump valve about 4-5 inches long with a screw stuffed in the end.....dont know why or if its meant to be like that

[deathrider311271]

the screw is why its not working, its not connected to anything

[big shrek]

the screw is why its not working, its not connected to anything
i took the screw out and it still didnt work it looks like that thin rubber pipe has been cut like i say its only 4-5 inches long coming out the top of the dump valve,why would someone stuff a screw into the end of that pipe? sorry for dumbass questions but i dont know about dump valves

It need's to be connected to the vac tree

[big shrek]

It need's to be connected to the vac tree

the what? it doesnt look like its long enough to connect to owt mate,where is this vac tree thing?

[dps1973]

It needs to be extended then, it is near the throttle body. There will be 3/4 pipes connected to it and 2 blanked off

u also need to make sure the recirculation dump valve has been replaced with a blanking plate

[big shrek]

ok how do i do that? looks like im gonna have to buy a brand new dump valve and fitting kit and start again

[Jamest5r]

The vac tree is under the throttle cable cover that is a curved bit of plastic about 6" long, take that off and you will see a small plastic pipe sitting verticaly with little tubes sticking out the side's, if it will reach plug the pipe from the dv to one of these.

where in the bay is this mate? just had a scout round ebay and i can buy the rubber pipe in meter lengths just need to know if its 4,5 or 6 mm

[T5frankie]

its under the plastic cover toward the front of the engine on the right side it has one torx screw to undo its where the throttle cable is

[Jamest5r]

If you look at your engine it's at the right hand side at the end where the pipe enters from your intercooler.

Need some clever person to post a pic :) Where's bloody Fandango when you need him lol

cheers but why have you drawn a red line to show where the pipe connects to but your blue pipe doesnt go there?

that vac tree has 5 nipples off it 3 on the front and 2 on the back (one of which has a thin pipe coming off it) which one do i connect my dump valve pipe to and do i have to remove the pipe thats connected to the vac tree at the min?

also how do i tell if the recirclulating valve has been blanked off?

If you look closly at that picture the blue pipe gose to the manifold (which is also fine) but I didn't want to confuse you.
as for the recirc valve, I'll se if I can find some pics for you now.

OK, if your turbo has this, then the dump valve wont work, this bit should be replaced with a flat plate.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/claymore2k/Image1-5.jpg

[big shrek]

ok will have a look 2moro,the turbo is at the back of the block is it not?

if it fit a pipe to that vac tree does it matter which nipple i use and does the one thats currently used need to be disconnected?

[big shrek]

aybody?

if i fit the rubber pipe from the top of the dump valve to the vac tree do i need to disconnect the rubber pipe thats currently on it? does it matter which one of the 5 nipples i use?

[claymore]

are you talking about the pipe on the dump valve? if so just pull it off and replace it with a longer pipe.

[big shrek]

yes but i dont know what size pipe to order 4,5,6 mm

what i want to know is when i have fitted the new longer pipe to the dump valve and i go to fit it to the vac tree do i need to remove the rubber pipe thats already connected to the vac tree and does it matter which of the 5 connections on the vac tree do i connect my dump valve up 2?

[Jamest5r]

Just plug it into anyone of the outlet's just make sure the rest are covered with the little rubber caps and leave what ever is pluged in there :)

right will do,just need to see if my turbo has the blanking plate fitted from the original valve

Pretty easy to tell if there is a pipe on the end its got the recirc if not just blank :)

You should be able to mate it's fairly clear, if you are standing by your nsf wheel looking at the turbo it's the closest part of the turbo to you.

Would the heat shield be in the way though? As this covers a lot of the turbo when its on.

yes.......yes it is....gggrrrrrr

[big shrek]

i hope it is blanked off cos i aint got a clue where to get a blanking plate from

[LiamT4]

yes.......yes it is....gggrrrrrr

If you take it off, most don't bother putting it back on, as it makes things easier when checking things like the turbo actuator.

[T5frankie]

yes.......yes it is....gggrrrrrr

you can see the dump valve with the heat shield on

he's talking about the turbo, on that post.

[T5frankie]

yes

[big shrek]

right just looked and no mine is not blanked off.........£££££££

do i have to use a blanking plate specific to a c70 t5 or can i use one for any td04 turbo?

a t5 engine is a t5 engine mate they are all the same

[claymore]

Does it still have the vac pipe going to it, if so, you could just put a one way valve in the line.

[big shrek]

Yes that't fine, you need to forget your car is a c70, your engine is a t5, all pre me7 (me7 has no throttle cable) t5 engines are the same.

ok will do :)

how hard is it to fit that blanking plate? 5 min job or complete ball ache

[T5frankie]

Not to bad, but make sure you've got a 10mm ratchet spanner.

EDIT: That bloodey Frankie beat me to it again

[T5frankie]

read post 50 mate lol

[big shrek]

can it be fitted while its still on the car or does the turbo need to come off?

[T5frankie]

can it be fitted while its still on the car or does the turbo need to come off?

it just need 3 10mm bolts undoing whilst still on the car best to take the turbo hose off first

[Jamest5r]

15 min job mate as long as already been said with a 10mm ratchet :) but you will lose skin from your knuckes :)

Edit... bloody Frankie is quick lol :)

[dps1973]

Stay on the car just use a ratchet spanner makes l;ife soooo much easier

[big shrek]

right last question

when i remove the standard valve what do i do with the end of the pipe that i pull off it?

does it go to the vac tree?

can i use it to connect to my bailey dump valve if it is connected to the vac tree?

[claymore]

normaly, you would pull the pipe off the vac tree, but in your case i would take it off the recirc valve and put it on the dump valve, (that would save you having to get a new pipe for the dump valve.)
