Prechamber Mod "Flame" Front
Prechamber Mod "Flame" Front
Tell you guys what. I have a dyno date in march. I'll take my spares and mod them ad see if I can do a before and after without touching the pump.
(02-05-2011, 05:49 PM)Volker407 So you say prechamber atomization is better altough common rail has higher injection pressure (3-4 times higher than our OM61Xs got) and can superheat through pre-injectionsYes. IDI injects and vaporizes all the fuel at the same time. Common rail still has separate injections which means the fuel still has less time "in heat".

Om616. If you need some information, shoot at pm.
Big holes= big power
I don't know what you think being a martyr is going to solve. It would seem jeemu could solve this whole argument by posting a dyno before and a dyno after the mods.
(02-05-2011, 11:18 AM)OM616 Implying that the members that posted information that you disagree with are liars is nothing but confrontational. If we can not trust what a member says, then what is the point. I mean heck, anyone that has any skill with a graphics program can create a dyno sheet that supports anything.
I say enough. Statements that contradict solely for the sake of contradiction are aggressive, and deter members from posting. Unless you have something relevant to "CONTRIBUTE" to a thread, don't.

Joking, but I wonder sometimes if the "Flame Front" refers to the "flaming" going on in this thread?
I would Rig up the injector, pop tester, prechamber, and a glow plug get the plug hot and inject the fuel use a slow motion camera and see if there is any noticeable difference with the burn time between the two prechamber? just stand back lol
Not trying to be "negative", bu I can't see how this test will provide any useful information. You will need to create the same conditions you have during compression and combustion. The only way to do that(for people with normal equipment) is to use an engine in a car. If you don't have access to a dyno, you can do a road test.
I normally use the same uphill, try to test during same temperature and humidity. and for example use third gear and time acceleration from 2000-5000rpm with WOT. Not perfect but it will tell you if the engine has more power.
I hope someone will do that(I can't, we have ice on the roads now) and tell us about it. We will take your word for it(well most of us ) when you tell us if it helped or not

I think just seeing how the fuel mists and is dispersed would be very interesting. I believe that FI is right about Jeemu's bigger holes, that Jeemu is wasting fuel as it is being sprayed on the piston and walls and not misting in the middle. There is no doubt in my mind he is seeing more power from more fuel but I think more holes are the solution not bigger ones.

(02-06-2011, 09:12 AM)winmutt What I think would prove to be beneficial here is some simple testing. Why doesn't someone rig up a testing station? Lets stop talking theoretical and half assed tests, lets start talking scientific experimentation. I would think a pop tester rigged with some prechambers that are mounted into a jar that is similar in size to that of a piston would provide some interesting results. Video record the differences.That wouldn't show anything useful since there is no combustion, or even airflow. You would also have to pump 37 stokes/second to simulate 4500rpm.
(02-06-2011, 10:15 AM)DieselSchlepper Joking, but I wonder sometimes if the "Flame" Front refers to the "flaming" going on in this thread?Yeah. I thought that was pretty obvious given the person who typed it.

Actually I have 2 dyno dates in march. I hope my 10mm elements show up before the 2nd one.
Does anyone have the tool to remove the precup or has anyone made a tool? It doesn't look to hard to make. But if I had a pic it would make making it alot eaiser.

The pre-chamber puller is the same threads as a bicycle crank puller?

Let's hope that dyno has some way of measuring diesel engine rpm... if so I might do my D24T just for fun.

I'm going to a socaps meet at Fontana sunrise ford on Sunday the 8th. Since the bronco transmission is in 2 pieces im taking the merc.
Pulling the prechamber is the easiest part, its removing and torquing the collars without fucking up the slots thats difficult.
(02-05-2011, 07:31 PM)jeemu Om616. If you need some information, shoot at pm.PM box is full... waiting to send one.

I think Kent's tools are pretty cool..

diesel911 over at peachparts makes a good tool. I have an early variation of his tool but similar to the current version.

Man this is a great site, I remember about a year ago there was some heated discussion about pc's but not like this, imho I think there can be some tunning advantages screwing around with the pc and I agree the best way to find clues to this question is on the dyno.
One thing I have access to is both chassis & engine dynos so there may be some testing on hot bulb changes going on in the I.E. for the SoCal crew, keep this thread going!
Where we talking? I wanted to compare stock to modified with my stock injection pump and then stock vs modified with my 10mm pump.
22mm x 1. You want to use the shimano crank puller, available at your local bike store. Walmart didnt carry it last time I checked.

I'm as curious about this topic as everyone else here and would like to see some results.
I'll donate a set of five pre-cups from a 1981 SD to whoevers going to the dyno. Whoever wants them, just PM me.
It would be nice to see the graphs from a variety of different sized precups and just how the hp/torque curves increase or decrease or move around.
I'm good I have 3 spare sets and 1 set of 4 that the 5th one broke off and fell into the cylinder.
If any one else in the SoCal area would like to dyno on march 6th pm me I'll give you the info.
It's 50$ for a run. Last time 1 run = 3 pulls.
I've got two spare sets that still need to be pulled ...

One other measurement that is critical is the dimension that the prechamber tip protrudes out from the head.

Nope they are key'd and bottom out.
They can only go in one way.
Looks like I have all three? styles of pre chamber now... '81, '82, '85 in my hands
Yeah I was looking at the ones I pulled they have 3 different sized holes I needto buy some drill bits.

I am looking forward to real results on this. I think there is room for improvement in them.

You can get the ring collar tool at pelicanparts the cheapest. I have one you can borrow for shipping costs both ways. I also have a 22mmx1 ring you can borrow. The ring, a washer, bolt and a slide hammer will pull em out. You will need replacement shims but they are cheap.
Thanks for the offer.
I'm definitely gonna buy the tools
You have a link to pelicanparts? it's not working for me...

If you want you can buy mine. I sincerely doubt I will be using it anytime in the future.
