Custom Quadzilla Tuning R & D Thread

I will get various datalogs showing as much data as possible along with videos of each setup.  

 

We should be able to compare 0-60 of each setup and see how much difference there is in power.  

 

@Carbur8tr @kzimmer  Any thoughts on what tests I should do to show pros vs cons of the increased pop?

[dieselautopower]

I am concerned that 20 BAR may not show much difference in data, but I guess we can re-shim the other set to whatever you want.

[Me78569]

maybe while I have the 330 bar out I will ship them back and have them put to 350? and then retest?

Sounds good to me!

[Mopar1973Man]

Maybe I should get in on the re-popping too? 

 

Seriously if it was summer time I would I could down the Cummins and then driver the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 for a week or so why the injectors are re-popped.

I would assume you keep a fairly good log of actual mileage, if so I would say without changing Tunes driving habits or anything go ahead and dryvit for a full tank or two to see if the mileage is changed at all. Driving normally would also give you time and the ability to see possibly small changes in everyday driving situations. 

[Me78569]

I dont keep mileage logs haha.  I will record cruise egt on a stretch of road going to work that is very steady.  that should tell us what is going on.  

 

 

lets not start a trend of repopping until we get some good data in.  My curiousity should not have an ill effect on others....unless they are bored like me.  If you are bored and wanna mess with this like me then feel free.  PM DieselAutoPower about it.

Try this , enable high idle let it idle up, then drop it into gear without using brake or gas,  does it stall still?

That really slams it in to gear if I blip throttle I can get it with out stall but I don't like to

@rogerash0  When you put it into gear do rpms spike for a split second or do rpms drop without any spike at all? even just a split second spike

 

It actually happened yesterday morning despite my best intentions not to stall my truck. I had it plugged in overnight, I have the grid heater and all that but it doesnt cycle when plugged in. It may have been 28 or 32 degrees outside.

I throw it in reverse, & the rpms drop lock a rock and the truck dies perceivably instantaneously. I restarted it, and dropped it into 1 instead of reverse. It took 1, then I go into reverse, and off I go without stalling. I'll watch the tach extra carefully next time and drop it into R just to see for ya.

Don likes 7x.010 nozzles. If you let it run for a few min it should take care of the stalling without having to pull the injectors.

 

Im sure your right, when I spoke to his wife on the phone she said they are slightly smaller than 7x0.011 but its not about the nozzle size as much as it is about how it flows & the shape of the holes. I quote.

[Carbur8tr]

We need to start data logging the stalls.  @Me78569 we need to get a spreadsheet going and record all of the data we have on current injectors.

 

IE: 

Idle Canbus values 

Stall instances

Maybe free rev canbus values or something to help compare what's going on with fueling at what point in the curve

Highway mpg, 0-60 times, smoke output, spoolup times, sound of engine (like a percieved change in timing), EGT's at various scenarios (spoolup, idle, cruising, max boost), max boost without wiretap.

 

The wife finally managed to stall it yesterday in the car wash lineup, driving over a chunk of ice.

[Me78569]

So

 

Datalogs and Videos of

 

1. 0-60 WOT take off, same stretch of road

2. 35-65 WOT locked TC 3rd

3. 55 mph egt on same stretch of road showing egt

4. Lugged 45 mph locked od pull to compare spool.  

 

 

 

[Dodgeih]

If possible, try to listen how it sounds on factory high idle, in comparison to how it does now.. Might be able to "hear" the timing if it's much different than now

[dirty830]

I'm going to have to get in on this also. I drive a lot of highway back and forth everyday and the curiosity is going to kill this cat. I think i will be able to get away with a higher pop since im not auto perhaps? 

[Carbur8tr]

I wish we could get someone on the dyno with 3 sets of injectors to see some numbers as well.  That would help gauge how much of a loss, if any, that we are seeing with the higher pop pressure. 

[dirty830]

I have a good buddy with a load cell dyno.....

[Me78569]

@dirty830  you on stock injectors now?  

 

 

 

[Me78569]

@dirty830  you on stock injectors now?  

 

 

 

[dirty830]

@Me78569yes stock other than my sig and a 5'' exhaust 

[Me78569]

unless you are going to step up to something bigger than 7 x .010's I wouldn't bother with increasing pop pressure.
