And me, I used to own a diesel. LOL! Now I am talking diesel can a diesel have ALS?

you are saying your diesel (as in the low revving engiens that have wide gears) had a close ratio box?

all diesels have an ALS bypass fitted as standard, its called no throttle, lol

Benni

I got confused with Ratio and RPM! Do you see where I got confused?

Chip

You got confused at the point where you havent got a fucking clue what you are talking about and should leave interesting threads to the grown ups?

Benni

You won't learn if you don't join in.

Chip

You will if you just read and try and understand.

You wont if you dive in and spout bollocks and drag the thread down

Benni

Dragged the thread down? It was already on it's arse to begin with. I wasn't spouting bollocks I was joking about the Diesel comment hence the LOL and smilie. And if I had of said nothing I wouldn't know what I now know which is close ratio and Short rev range are different.

Fucking hell Chip mate. Back off a bit. He doesnt understand, no need to make him feel bad. I know he "hangs" in the muppet room most of the time, but hes only showing an interest.

Anyone giving it large with a symbol while trying to look clever is fair game IMHO

Fair enough.

Benni, back to the muppet room

Benni

You have to try and look clever around here or you won't make any friends. Anyway I tried and I failed so I'm going back to the muppet room now!

Benni.

deiseals only rev to 5k so they need to have an engine that is flexiable throughout the whole rev range and longer gears to keep up with the petrol engined counterparts which can rev to at least 20% higher, in some cases you'll get 9K out of a honda engine yet a fair amount of deisesels will run out of puff coming up to 4.5k

there is also the thing about variable van turbos but tha'ts touching on a subject that doesn't really relate to this topic, unless there are plans afoot to make a range of variable vane turbos' for cossie applications that will also run als/lc

the problem with variable vanes (apparently) is that you can't dissasemble them because they work in a complcated way

so, back on topic

Benni

dojj Cheers mate, Much appreciated.

now all we need to have is someone who can put anti lag/launch control into the same sort of 2 line description and job done

not at all - the problem is the mechanism cannot stand the higher combustion temperatures of a petrol engine compared to a diesel (except that the latest porsche 911 has them fitted, so those problems must have been overcome to some extent)

anyway, back on topic - although i think it died a while ago

for benni's benifit, poches are more expensive than normal cars and so they can have expensive bits fitted on them that bend the rules a little
