Post by: jtanguay on April 13, 2007, 11:36:35 pm: well people don't realize that manufacturers must make their engines pollute less in order to mass strict emission guidelines... and yes that requires making the engine run like crap AND include an egr device that pretty much just deposits the unburnt carbon soot into the oil to do major damage to the motor.

the fact that egr exists today has to tell you that performance isn't first in their minds.

amen... might as well just put an air filter instead of the EGR and have that as a regular replacement item... all in favour!!!! :lol:

hey wait i just found out that there is a particulate air filter in the works... but will last the entire life of the vehicle? yea right...

so what about camshafts for PD engines? Are the unit injectors fired by the main camshaft, or is there a seperate camshaft for the unit injectors only???

Post by: 935racer on July 09, 2007, 09:23:06 pm: Nope, I am installing it whenever Malone receives his upgraded turbo, so until he gets his turbo I don't have any results. Hopefully soon however!

Post by: jtanguay on July 10, 2007, 01:48:08 am: what kind of turbo is malone using? i want to use a Garrett VNT-25 on my PD130 :twisted: hopefully with a good cam and exhaust, it will breathe fire :twisted:
