Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

The problem is weak shafts in many VNT turbos. It takes a few years of use to find out which ones are particularly bad. In a compound set you increase the stress on the small turbos shaft by the density increase you feed it. So if you feed it air 50% denser than atmospheric, the shaft has 50% more ...

Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

I guess the only real benefit you would have with a piggyback, is you have purchased a physical object that can either be removed and used on your next project or sold. And the ability to run a few different boost/fuel/timing/throttle maps on a switch in the car. Rather than just paying dyno time ...

Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

Mine never had abs is so i guess the previous abs comments not of concern ? As for tuning standard ecu I thought it couldnt be tuned as its so limited by all the safty sensors needing the piggy back to trick ecu into leaving its safty zone. If its tunable could I run say 30 - 35psi with a 3 inch ...

Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

They run a bosch injector, they also use 90 to 120 v to lift then drop back to a lower votlage 12v or so , and when they switch off they store the energy from the solenoid to use again . so the 5 injection cycles you oviously cant see by eye (looks like one injection). Motec sound promising in ...

Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

I'd say your first step is to buy a scan-tool. OBD2 to laptop will cost very little and give a wealth of knowledge.

Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

Get a wiring diagram before you do anymore. The next ranger or bt50 we have in I will look to see if things can be turned of by the Ford ids scan tool. Im sure there is a can bus system in there somewhere. Diesel injectors generally work at 60-80 volts, 10-20 amps of current, injection intervals in ...

Re: after market common rail diesel ecu

The only way you will know beyond doubt is to rig the engine to a frame and wire it up with the basics. If it doesnt run, pull the code and find out why not. It may require some rewiring, but nothing as extreme or expensive as a full aftermarket system. If they are a CAN bus system, which I assume ...
