How does a dump valve work ? A blow-off valve is an air pressure bypass valve that is placed between the turbo compressor and the throttle. When your turbocharged car is on boost, the entire intake system is filled with pressurised air; from the turbo compressor, through the throttle body and inlet manifold and into the combustion chambers. When the throttle is closed, this pressured air can no longer enter the engine. The only path available for the air is to try to flow back the way it c...

All too often you will see a car that has had literally tens of thousands of pounds spent on a high-power engine and braking set up, only to find that the suspension received a fraction of the budget and is often seen as an inconvenience. Many see...

  Back to Contents Most of us are aware that by converting the principle of an aeroplane wing were are able to create downforce which will increase the vertical load on the tyre and bring more grip. We know from the tyre choice section of the guide as well that it is the vertical load versus lateral grip capability of the tyre that is most important. Therefore aerodynamics can be used as a way to tune the chassis to ensure maximum cornering G-force. In Formula one aero...

Inspired by another page I stumbled across  I thought I'd make up my own list.  In no particular order - they are all disgusting. Some may disappear from here as they are linked images, I really couldn't be bothered to make and save images and sully the server with such rankness. I've reduced them all to a smaller size just in case you've recently eaten. Nissan Juke no comment. Dodge Nitro Ross Pillock of Autoexpress actually...
