Colin, I fear the only way to achieve power increase and reduce emmisions would be (dare I say it) to go and buy a more modern diesel...then there would be no owners club, no forum, no discussions and we would all be driving around in little chinese tin boxes partially built from metal that was stolen from our churches and schools.

The one way I can see to improve it would require a remap to the ECU to recalibrate the values for total volume and flow rate of the intake air ducting. You could then retain the EGR system but increase the diameter of the EGR valve and the intake manifold itself by an amount equal to or greater than the volume of the EGR valve piston. This would maintain the re-burn of noxious gasses whilst continuing to increase the volume of induced air. In my opinion this approach would be prohibitively expensive due to the small market for this type of device but it would definitely increase engine performance whilst maintaining lower emissions.

You're absolutely right! However, there's a lot of us out there, who are sort of lumbered with what we've got. The M47R engine is basical quite good, suffering as it does by the BMW constraints. I do understand, despite what some might say, that if some of it's latent power can be released (for those that want it), then yes, that is a good thing. My only reservation is it should'nt be at any cost So, getting back to the original discussion - I think there should be a poll, to see how many people would:- A/ Have a bypass operation B/ Leave well alone C/ Happy with bypass D/ Would disable EGR E/ Change back from bypass or disabled EGR F/ Unsure So how about it?

I think it should be a completely separate thread to this one though. |

Who is this Rinceweed character? He keeps popping up and making an appearance - does anyone know what he drives??

Presumably Rinceweed drives a weedy 110 version of the R75
