Some people don't! I mean my truck doesnt just roal coal like some diesels but if i give it enough go juice it makes a little poof just cause its tuned up a bit.

Thats fine, I see what you're saying. I just think it's retarded when guys spend the extra money just to get as much black smoke as possible.

haha mines not tuned like that, i got mine beefed up for towning trailers and hauling car trailers around! At first when i got it i wanted it to just puke but after awhile i realized id probly break more then it was worth spending the money on!

What about the rpms? Diesel can go max 4500 and petrol like 8000? What about that? Or are they all petrol engines?

A cummins motor in a dodge has a max of 3200rpms unless tuned for racing they can get into the 4k range

3200 RPM???? wow, i can rev my TD 4 cyl 2.8 hilux running 13 psi boost to about 4 1/2thou RPM, not much good over 4 grand though.

Yeah, my dad his 2.8 tdi Nissan can get up to 4.5 too.

Haha yea, ill take my low rpm beast. How much power does the 2.8 put down cause im trying to find a small diesel for my d50 wheeler

My dad his Nissan Teranno 2 has a 2.8 tdi, open exhaust system (sounds really nice), K&N air filter and is chipped too. Has around 170 hp and only needs 11 seconds or so to 100 km/h. Only too bad the gearbox is f*cked up every 100,000 km.. :p Clutch still works fine after 300.000 km. :)
