diesel blow off?
- Thread starter Stis
- Start date
I have the pd160 Cupra tdi it was standerd with just a jr cone filter fitted a d when u let off ur throttle on that at 2 k revs that makes a dump valve type sound and defo does not have a dv fitted. The tdi engines require a constant pressure behind the turbo if u dump the excess boost pressure in the system ur turbo is going to have to start building up all pressure again there for u would lose power completely not a good idea on a tdi engine unless ur running extreme power ie 300 bhp plus
cheers mate, i'll give that a read in a sec
so anyone who is running a DV on a diesel is either pretending to make themselves sound better, or has some serious power? - probably a nice idea idea actually
this one i saw definitely had a DV though, you could hear it from the other end of the car park, it was loud enough to interupt conversations with people standing a couple of meters away because you couldn't hear them over the TSSSSSSSSSSSSS
on a side note, i've just remembered something else the garage told him (him being my mate Dale)
they had a picture of a leon on the wall inside the garage that had its windows tinted (that they'd done) as a sort of promo - the guy who was looking Dales car said "thats a diesel we remapped the other week" and Dale said it had a full K1 kit on it. did the diesel ibiza ever come K1 kitted? or is this further proof that the garage just had no clue
EDIT: sorry for all the questions, i dont know much about diesels, or leons

Yes any body running a tdi engine with a dv is trying to make them slefs look and sound good but not having a clue how the engine works or they are running some serious power under the Bonnet but even still then I would not fit one.
Also U said about air intake in my opioin I would change the standerd air filter to a cone filter to produce more air intake
Ah right, really? thats good news, thanks for your help mate – hopefully the kits not too expensive, because Dale needs it
Well that’s it mate - they suggested an air filter and DV in order for a stage 1.
As I say I’m not too clued up on diesel engines. Thanks for your help
Also, fancy trading cars? I’m serious. I’ve always fancied a yellow 6L

A cone filter is a bad idea on the tdi and a total waste of time, it has no impact on the car at all. The standard air filter is good for around 300bhp anyway.

No I was on about the funny noise you get on a tdi with a straight pipe, that's the impeller chattering due to air on either side not being equalised, I don't know much about dump valves though, I think that's obvious lol
Blow off valve opens when the throttle body closes. And diesels dont have throttle body, right? So it's impossible for blow off to work on a diesel unless it's operated electronicaly which is a bit pointless at the same time.
Company talking rubbish imo.

i got that now brotha
but what i'm suggesting, is me and you trading cars
Tradeing what car for what Lol
That's right on that model of car but on some this that's not the case but it will make u lose performance on any tdi engine there for making it a pointless mod
Yeh but it's forced induction and the filter doesn't prevent any air getting through till you've spent a fortune on other things. You'd be lucky to ever need rid of it really.
The cone filters sound good on the likes of a VR6 etc but I can't see any point on a tdi.
I am not going to say putting a cone filter will actually gain any power but it defo does a better job than the oringal filter due to it gives better air flow I know all the argueements about this subject there's pros and cons to both sides of opioins. So it ends up as a personal choice to what people want to do with there air intake system. Me my self I belive Jetex (jr) cone filters are the way to go.
Yeh but that's the point, it doesn't do a better job, there's nothing to gain at all unless you're seriously tuned to an extreme level.
If you want to have your cone filter that's up to you but it isn't a good thing. Most of them let to much through and the fine particles hit the turbo and the insides of the engine.
I can't see why you would fit one other than tidying up the engine bay but there has to a better way.

I have tested versions things todo with induction on the tdi engine people say they let fine particles through the filter but so does the standerd filter I test this by passing power chalk through i blow mechine with both filters stoping the flow for 5 mins I measures how much chalk had passed through both filters and with in a 5 min period the standerd filter had let 1.9gram of chalk power through the filter less than the jr. But at the amount of chalk that had passed through that amount of 1.9 gram was minimal
Second test I put both filters in front of the blow machine again with just normal air flowing and test which filter would fill up a large ton plastic bag first the jr cone filter filled up the bag in 74 seconds while the standerd filter filled it up in 102 seconds there for it does restrict flow of air
