Richard Farrant Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 With a turbo the less restriction it has the better. The turbo is a restriction in itself, it will create a certain amount of backpressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyFowler Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 What about aero engines and race cars ! Why don't they require back pressure ? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Elsdon Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Adam, I think that is more to do with high perfomance engines. In our subject, ie military vehicles, I can think of different applications using the same engine but having exhaust systems of vastly differing lengths. Of course the silencer can be "adjusted" to compensate for a longer or shorter pipe length. I did used to spend alot of time making cars going faster, maybe there is potential for tuning a B60 yet!

FASTTRAX Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi I'd say around mid 70's possibly 1976, then again i could well be way out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Elkins Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Looks like you have drew it on cardboard, cut it out and stuck it on Clive. you have forgot the door handle, how do you get in???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul connor Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Has to be after Early 1971 due to the Ram bar, its a Mk1 style pig with lockers so would be assuming its before "operation bracelet" 1972 sept (off memory,and if was uparmoured to a Mk3) So I would date at "1971" But the pig does look a little odd, but I put that down to the artist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Paul & Adam you are right to be cautious about the artistic presentation of this vehicle. It is actually a sort of 3D logo, but none the less is a bit strange. Hi I'd say around mid 70's possibly 1976, then again i could well be way out!!! Yes very good. On the roof there is a spotlight mounted on the base for the smoke discharger. Discharger, Smoke Grenade, No.11 Mk 1 was introduced in Aug 1973. The nearside is sporting a support for a wing mirror which was the place for it on a Mk 2 halfway along the bonnet. But mirrors were moved to the front of the wings in May 1977. So Aug 1973 to May 1977. Trying to find the tours undertaken 33 Sqn RCT proved fruitless. Col Dewar's book does have a compilation of units served but no mention of them there. The only reference to them is if you sign up to Friends Reunited & I'm not doing that. The others hits for come up for RCT as Roller Coaster Tycoon & Root Canal Therapy :shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
