    Melting pistons.

    I've watched a video of Kevin's truck pulling with flames out the stack. Didn't think it was over fueling only thought it was late timing. No smoke present.

    Good point Pat. Seems we'd see a fire ball out the tail pipe once o2 is reached. But, may be too cool at that point.

    We have that with the lb7 and the lly.

    Just curious to know if diesel fuel can turn to steam and store energy. Seems too volatile to be used as a cooling agent. :confused: I know it's said to be done, just wondering how it works.

    I'm not Fingers, we all know that :angel:, but I think peak cp is best around 12* atdc or even later for me.

    Public or private engine failure, the question still exists and is valid. Whether or not we get an acceptable answer is the question/problem.

    Melting pistons.

    Does an abundance of o2 increase or lower cylinder temps apples to apples? An abundance of air could be the ticket to reducing cylinder temps. We've seen it with our supercharged/turbocharged engines. Not saying the is right just saying egt's are greatly reduced.

    So best we can do at the moment is calculate crudely from pressure, Temperatures. Still a huge guessing game. If we can accurately measure cfm/lbs per minute air and we crudely calculate cylinder temps from pressure, we would have a starting point for mm3 injected? :confused:

    Why 720* Mitch? Wouldn't that be 2 revolutions? This would be true for Cam to crank relationship?

    Melting pistons.

    So with this, do we know the injected quantity and if burned, with different O2 content, its btu numbers?

    Wade you say fuel burns from cylinder psi, true but only if temps are present and high enough to flash the fuel.

    Melting pistons.

    The only way I buy rail pressure adding timing is: If atomized better and heat created from pressure, fuel will flash faster. No matter the rail pressure, timing can't start until injection. The higher the pressure the more accurate the tuned injection at " crank angle ". Lower Rail...

    EFILive Turbo Tuning Questions

    Start a log, put truck in drive. Hold brake and go pedal down for a few seconds. This would be the start of tuning rpm. If rpm increases on next try, you are on the right path. :D

    I'd have to have 4 slicks or all four tires would have to roll out the same. Kind of a headache. I didn't realize you drove your truck out, why weren't you racing?

    Engine Dying w/out warning or codes (Fuel Pressure Regulator??)

    Yes, cam and crank sensor.

    Timing calculator v3

    Is this for all engine codes?

    Timing calculator v3

    Thank you Josh. I just got your calculator and I'll have to give it a whirl. :D

    Josh I was gonna try and run Jeff's slicks but he only has two and I was asking if he thought I could get by with running only slicks on the rear in two wheel drive. OT, Josh did you see where I asked about your timing calculator in another thread? Ok back on topic :D

    Do you think I could get by with running in 2wd if I try your slicks?

    I might have to put your slicks on my truck and on the ground to get some decent numbers. :D
