DV006 is popular because its a straight swap and performs very well - lots of people run these, from standard to 400bhp monsters

I got one after the standard valve finally gave up and it just does what it says on the tin

People have recommended running with the softer spring (yellow I think) but mine has the standard spring (blue I think) and I've never had any issues (but then my engine is pretty standard and I'm not running massive power)


It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise burial rates and blame it on the cost of living

First link I've sent doesn't says exactly which model is it, but it look like forge dv006. I'll have around 400bhp with nitro, so it's not standard:D 3 links I've sent above which is the best option? I will not have option to choose spring, so what arrives, arrives

I run the DV006 at as much as 2 bar and up to 400bhp

Make sure you get the lightest spring though (green) as the standard blue spring is too strong for the Coupé's orientation of the DV (pressure side into the side port of the DV, NOT the bottom port)

Flea recently drove my car and remarked on how smooth the DV operation was compared with his own car

I just swapped over to a green spring today, instantly felt the difference especially at part throttle.

Forge do a "Service Kit" for their DV's which includes a choice of spring, new diaphram and the correct grease.

As Forge recommend Mobil 1, I hunted for it all over and found RC Nut supply it in small tubes. Of which, I bought two. Their website seems to be offline, hope this is only a temporary problem.

Forge need to re-think their delivery charges though. It's now a fraction over £7 delivery for one spring. \:o
Total cost of a green spring delivered is roughly £18.
