Bosch Motorsport nozzles bashing thread

[JoshH]

Yep, I forgot to divide the stroke by 2. Give me a minute, and I'll rerun the calculations.

124 degree angle sprays the edge of the bowl at 42.7 degrees of timing and the cylinder wall at 50.2 degrees of timing.

143 degree angle sprays the edge of the bowl at 32.4 degrees of timing and the cylinder wall at 40.2 degrees of timing.

Sorry for the miscalculations earlier.

How do you calculate the time it takes up for the fuel to actually reach its destination from the time the soleniod is signaled to fire? Are those numbers assuming zero?

Smokem...share someething other than more questions. You have skipped all of my questions.

tampax...piss off. Lol

What are you using for a measurement for the nozzle below the piston crown at TDC? 0.050?

I got 55.9 degrees to the edge of the bowl, and 58.5 to the cylinder wall. I didn't put in a value for the nozzle depth, though.

Funny, tech questions from a guy who "never pays attention to details" and is always so busy hauling something or stroking himself (or both at the same time).

The simple answer is no, there are many nozzle choices in both mechanical and CR systems, the work needs to be put into finding better options as has been done on the mechanical side for quite some time. I have a few nozzles I will be testing early this year, they are not from a Cummins application.

Duramax?

Ok..your right. I will just sign off and focus on stroking myself. That will still provide greater results than I have ever seen from your pompous azz.

I'm pretty sure your awesomeness gets in the way of seeing anyone else's results.

[cquestad]

Thanks for the good sig material. Not sure what else you accomplished.

Good luck all with this one...I am out.

[triton]

with those calculations, I'd say there's never going to be a problem spraying outside the bowl. Max timing... for my truck anyway is 28* using EFI. The only values I've seen close to being as high as calculated was reading the timing tables from a Diablo programmer which were in the 50*'s. Smarty could be up there too ??

Maybe it travels at the speed of light so it is negligible,

[DIESEL_POWER]

I suspect that Too much PSI will "float" the needle or pintle thats in the nozzel and could cause much different timing and duration "in cylinder" conditions.

This could cause post event leakage and "Accual" event over flow...Just a thought

[ENafziger]

Don, Weston, etc...do people who modify nozzles (honed, EDM, whatever) keep a conical form shape to the holes? If so, do they strive to keep K and Ks factors similar to what Bosch has incorporated, or is that something that is experimented with as well?

There's some very interesting material that was presented recently at work that shows effects of inter-nozzle and near-nozzle cavitation at high pressure. I'll check if it's allowable to post in the public domain. They used a 1,000,000 fps camera to look at flow through an acrylic window in a portion of a CR injector nozzle. Pretty amazing stuff.

The K and Ks factors cannot really be controlled when using an extrude hone. The Extrude hone removes material from a hole and you have little to no control over it. It is best to do what it was designed for and that is to remove sharp edges. As the material runs over a restriction it begins cutting that material away. Based on how hard the material is and what media your running through the machine is how fast it will cut. Another big thing is that the holes are very small and the grit in the media can and does cause those holes to get plugged up. This is one of the biggest problems when people do not pay attention when running the equipment. Most of the tooling for running the extrude hone machine on injector nozzles does NOT allow you to see what is happening so your cannot see a hole got plugged until AFTER the machine cycle is completed. At that point it's to late most of the time.

nwpadmax has a great picture of a plugged injector nozzle hole from a Extrude Hone nozzle that stayed plugged even after they were install and run in an engine. When it didn't run right the injectors got removed and the problem found. With that said I still believe the Extrude hone process is good when used correctly.

There is just so much to this that a quick swap of nozzles alone is not going to show that is why I say you need a lot more information to really know and understand what is going on.

I missed the part where duration plays into this? if duration is x long, don't you see half of that before the injectors time of fire, and half after?

Don't think so...duration is the time it stays open after the command to fire.

What rod length were you using? I got more like 38 degrees or so on a 143 degree on a stock bore before it hits the walls?

No, like I stated in my first post, I don't have that information, so I just assumed the tip of the injector to be even with the top of the piston (I know it isn't, but I didn't think it would change my numbers by that much). If I used .050 with the 124 degree nozzle, it raises the timing at which the spray will hit the edge of the bowl to 44.1 degrees instead of 42.7 degrees. What are you using for stroke, rod length, spray angle, and bowl diameter to get your numbers? What formula are you using to calculate the angle?

[Smokem]

I'll add the following just to show that a wide cone angle can be used successully in a smaller bowl than many think.

Duration includes electrical/hydraulic latency.

Depends on your timing, it has been said that a 50/50 split is optimal for power, mpg, and durability but in the case of a tune running big duration you would have to run 35+ degrees to keep a 50/50 split.
