1.7 td engine tuning and fitting dump valve

[novaboz]

hello:) i was wondering what sort of power these would run at with a front mount intercooler,fuel turned up,boost turned up and a straight through exhaust??


also i no dump valves are diffrent on dervs, so how do you fit one? for that matter where could you get one

cheers

Derv engines don't have throttles like a petrol engine so a petrol DV won't work, unless you rig up some form of vacuum actuator that activates on off-accelerator. Even then it will ideally need to be adjustable instead of on/off as the last thing you want is the DV opening and dumping all the air out the turbo when you feather the accelerator.

i assume you are aware that a bump valve on a diesel will make it slower??

i was running 25psi in my veccy 1.7td with the pump turned two turns and a straight through! was rolling roaded at 98.7bhp/186ft/lbs of torque then fitting a front mount which inproved it more!
