Two Identical trucks. One with a manual, and one with an auto. The auto will dust the manual every day of the week, while putting less to the wheels on a set of rollers.
I think the difference they notice is what it does to your injection duration. A faster cycle will help with higher RPM.
That being said, I pop tested my DPS stage-1's which were supposed to be 2100psi. 6 of the 8 were leaking internally, not causing performance issues I don't think, but...
Injection events are closer to 3-5ms depending on output and if you're using a DB2 or 4. I get what you're saying, and I'm not brushing it off my shoulder... I'm really thinking hard about it because its something I never thought about. Because of this, I intend on taking my stage-1's up from...
Injection pressure should be much higher than your cylinder pressure. I know mine is. The issue I see if you are right, is that it could hang the pintle up from closing all the way, causing fuel dribble/early pop.
sheeeeiitt... not even like my Dually. I was over @ ATS this week and rode in my buddies 08 CTD..... 850hp 6.7 with a full built 48re. Most violent truck I've ever been in.
This is to add on to what buddy just echoed...
you can dyno in whatever gear you want. My truck makes more power in 5th than it does in 4th. The main thing with an auto is that you have it locked out in whatever gear you're in. You want to be able to floor it from 1500rpm or whatever you...
well, like I said, I am NOT an engineer.... but I just can't picture that piston working spectacularly. I am picturing the fuel droplets blasting the middle of the horse shoe on its face, spittling left, and right.... and instead of a clean uniform burn.... a dirty burn focused on the outside...
Its the difference between a medium duty engine, and a very light duty engine. The International was a work horse. International could not afford to have problems, since they were in service in such large fleets that needed a bulletproof engine. It needed no changes when a turbo was strapped...
boost is a measure of restriction at the engine, not a measure of flow from the compressor. Different chargers most certainly will flow different amounts of air at the same pressure ratios.
Post the compressor maps.
No, International didn't have the military buying their IDI's, but the 6.9/7.3 was used largely in Fleet applications, both medium duty, and light duty, as well as Ford pickup trucks. Uhaul being the biggest fleet probably... and I'll note that the engines had no design flaws or failures that...
and ford/IH didn't.....
If ford/IH did as well, I would be more on board.... but you have one company that changed cups 5 times.... and you have another that had 1-cup for the 6.9, and 1 cup for the 7.3
The design on the piston changed when the cups changed as well.
