Grant Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yep that's what I thought odd. But it's the way it's designed. The idea is that the diesel in the oil will be vaporised if it were to get hot enough but unlikely to do so.Although apparently giving it some beans and getting the exhaust nice and hot burns the soot off dpf naturally and will stop it pouring diesel in trying to clean itWhat a peculiar design!!!

KiNK43 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 You'd be surprised mate. It shifts 143ps 360nm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 You'd be surprised mate. It shifts 143ps 360nm I'm not saying it's not quick, modern diesels have loads of torque and get down the road quickly but revvy they're not (which is my interpretation of giving it beans).

That can be said for other makes of car too. Well most in fact, minus the MICEC Mitsi lumps. Not having vtec makes every other NA car seem boring and lacking up top.

True I suppose but most oil burners make peak power at around 3.5k rpm and redline around 5.5k, the older ones never used to make it to 5k.

KiNK43 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah true I hear ya. It is very different power delivery to any petrol engine. Have to keep an eye on rpm all the time because gear ratios are so long and I find myself shifting when I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stating that after having a screaming vtec, any other NA car that makes it's power high up seem flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would do round abouts etc with ease in 4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
