overheard a conversation whilst i was waiting at maccy D,s last time i was in there,

some bloke had chipped his diesel astra van and added a dump valve, apparantly by dropping it down two gears, he clould out accelerate scoobs...

didnt get to hear what the twisty performance was like, as i was nearly choking on my drink...

in yer dreams

 

Get back to chatting up ss you

 

A Dump valve on a diesel?

Err how does that work...seeing the engine always has no throttle and thus produces little or no vacuum to open it.

 

I think you,ll find turbo diesels use a recirc type dv, almost silent in operation,

saab use them to, there suposed to be better and more technically efficient thanan atmos dv, as the released charge is sent back into the system reducing lag

Gosh, all this in Macdonald's, surprises me as I always find that the finest minds in Britain meet there to discuss science and the arts.

 

Ah yes, amazing what a dump valve can do isn't it? Almost as good as neons for performance gains!!

BTW Doesn't matter what you drive though, there will always be a white van wanting to get past!!
