It's also been used on petrol turbocharged cars for a long time to reduce preignition via combustion temperature control. Combustion temps go too high and puff goes you pistons - that's your basic physics and mechanics. Now obviously to do this on a 4.4 you would have to be running at max power for a while which is highly unlikley on UK roads.
That’s a superbly worded reply. Thank you. A dear old friend reminded me that diesel engines had been running around for years completely untroubled without the introduction of the blasted EGR!! These parts or processes are all in the interest of emission control, and the “Green” Environmental pathway. What on earth is “Green” about the early demise of an engine? Is it going to force me to buy a Milk Float? Not a chance.
Vehicles should be fun. Taking the 322 off road,,,,,,into muddy fields, cleaning it off in the local Ford, then blasting it down the road is fun!
I love RR’s, & for me, the 322 4.4 is pretty close to the perfect vehicle. Mapped…. It’s like an uncaged Lion. It does after all have the heart of a Lion!
