noob type question - 4.2 diesel

Post by sw1 »

sorry for the noob type question
can someone who actually knows for certain if the 4.2 is direct inject?

well i assume the factory TD is direct, the DX is indirect
can some one verify.

ok

can someone offer an answer then to this:
every now an then i hear about 4.2's on high boost, how does this take place, how do they not blow the pre-combustion camber up?

The compression ratio stays the same regardless.

If you want to run the Turbo at a high pressure to get more air into the combustion chambers(which is the whole idea of a turbo), you reduce the compression ration to alow more space between the cyclinder head and the top of the piston at TDC to force more air in.

High boost with a N/A compression ratio will result in failure in time.

With the TD 42 engine, it is engineered to be very under stressed to some 20 or 30% from what i ahve read.
This being the case the, the standard engine can handle up to around 18PSI easily before problems arise.
