Common Rail pump instead of M pump
Common Rail pump instead of M pump
Hello All, as you an idea - install Common Rail pump instead of M Pump, and to use old Common Rail Injector as electrically operated valves for supplying fuel to the injectors. The electronic control unit can be used by Common Rail system, the chip programmed using the online tuner. A mixture information can be obtained from the LM-2 combines an air / fuel ratio meter manufactured by Innovative. I am sorry for bad english.
Well a common rail pump works like a gas fuel pump it only makes pressure just an insane amount like 15,000psi and the injectors do the opening and closing electronically
The hard part is plumbing lines that can take 15,000psi pressure!!!
On the common rail Doges they have a warning label warning about getting hand's cut off with those kind's of pressures

As previously said, a CR pump is a "simple" pressure pump.
CR works practically the same as Petrol injection and timing is controlled by the ECU which controls the injectors, which are solenoid valves.
I think modern piezo electric injectors can cope with pre-injection, problem is you need to somehow modify the head to fit them. Then the spray pattern most probably is wrong as they're DI injectors and not IDI.
As for the ECU, a stand alone could be used, something like Megasquirt could be used.
Hmmm, I need to chew on this one...
So the big ticket items we'd need are a physical adapter from mech injectors to electric pencils, the proper spray pattern nozzles, and an adapter from the timing chain to the new pump...
Slap on a crank sensor at the pump shaft for timing and rpm detection, a standalone controller for injection events, and it seems like it could work out nicely. The plumbing shouldn't be too hard either, just need to be safety consious.
Oh, and what is the point of doing ANYTHING with these old Benz IDI engines? Why look for any improvements at all? :p
I wonder what the common rail engines use for glow plugs? I know Cummins uses the grid heater!
A more exact idea of using the CR pump, manufacture adapter to injection timing devaice, fuel accumulator CR with fuel line, old (second-hand) injectors CR (as electric valves) that through adapter connected to mechanical injection nozzles. The pressure in the accumulator CR can be reduced to 500 bar, as a controller can use the ECU type Megasquirt and outher, still need install crank sensor + inlet camshaft sensor (the sensor phase)
Obviously, with enough money you can do almost anything, but I think for the price of a S/A (like megasquirt) CR injectors, CR pump and all the fabrication, you can get a:
Myna pump
good turbo
good intercooler
With all the C/R fabrication you'll just have "some" more fuel.

I was thinking about common-railing a 617 a couple a years ago.
You will need a CR-pump, installing this at the current fuel-pump placement, anfd you could mont an cam-sensor at this CR-pump. Then you need a crank sensor.
Fuel rail you may take from a 270 CDI, but everything else has to be custom.
Bosch delivers ECU`s for high performance CR ully programmable I believe

No possible way injectors would only cost $100 even if you owned a machine shop in China. As was said; no common-rail injector exists that would be compatible with an indirect injection engine, from-scratch R&D and prototyping would be required.
I'd be game to do the injector adaptation work if there was enough interest, just too say I did it.
We'd need a DI injector with a downward spray pattern instead of an angled spray pattern, the rest is an adapter coller to space it properly and hold it in place. I'm overlooking the shape of the pattern for sure, and that could be the limiting part...
you would have to get rid of the prechamber and probably use a different piston as well!
Er, why? Isn't the pre-chamber a required part to maintain not only the compression ratio, but proper flame-front propagation?
Not on a common rail it's directly injected
only indirect injection engines have prechamber's
How ever the prechamber bolts in to the head! So all you need is an adapter the fits in place of it and an injector that bolts the the prechamber's replacement adapter!
And the piston has a notch/dip in it for the prechamber that could bee filled and machined

(12-16-2010, 12:40 PM)willbhere4u you would have to get rid of the prechamber
The idea was to use a CR fuel system with the IDI parts, to get fueling characteristics that a mech pump can't duplicate easily.

Why on Earth would anyone try to convert 617 to direct injection (the alternate being 270cdi engine)? It would be very expensive and still be heavy as hell, have a poor efficiency and poor power. Most likely also not very reliable. No pros, only cons!
For me, the best part of prechamber engines is the power at high revs. Other than that, I'd take a DI engine. Why give away the only advantage compared to modern engines if you could alternatively swap to such engine and tune it if you like.

(12-16-2010, 12:40 PM)willbhere4u Not on a common rail it's directly injectedActually its required by the fundamental engine design and has nothing to to with fuel injection type.
Quote:If your going through all this work any ways why not go DIThats the entire point I've been making. Swapping a 270CDI or ISB170 makes far more sense than scratch building a CR fuel system.
Quote:I don't think the prechambers could with stand the kind of pressure a CR system puts out!The engine doesn't care about fuel pressure. Fuel pressure only alters atomization ability and the ease of pushing fuel into the compressed air.
Quote:I don't see why it wouldn't still rev with DI!The prechamber preheats the fuel well beyond anything (safely) possible external of the engine which means it is vaporized more completely than a mechanical injector. A DI engine has to wait for the "larger" fuel droplets to vaporize in the heat of combustion before they finish burning.

I still think that the pressure will be to harsh on the prechamber it injects around 15,000 psi not 1500 it would annihilate that ball in the prechamber!
Hello,
Wanted again to describe the idea. I am not want to install Common Rail injectors in cylinder head (pre-combustion chamber), I want to use them as an electrically controlled valve to control the nozzles installed at the factory. In this case, there is no need to use complex signal injection and no need of high pressure in the system.
whats the point? It would be easier to replace the whole injector! and you still have to replace the pump!
It seems to me that the OP is thinking about the same scheme as EFI with the same pressures that we get now, but just controlling it electronically.
What most people don't understand is the strength of the Common Rail (CR) is that it's a carefully structured, precise, interactive system, not a conglomeration of parts bolted together. I think it could be boiled down into power components, excluding pollution concerns, but to emulate factory performance or better requires precise technological interaction of various components.
