There is presently a thread that has to do with getting 200hp from a 617.....within that thread there is a link to a Bosch paper/article that does a nice job of explaining how the FIP works.....look for the posting where someone comments "that's why Shorebilly says what he does" and just after that one, you will find my comments referencing a couple of pages and figures that do well to illustrate what the person here is trying to tell you via a 2 stroke engine.......no I won't just post the link, work for the information....I went to school for years to learn these little tidbits of knowledge.......

That was a good analogy...using the 2 stroke engine to illustrate the operation of a FIP.....one must understand how a 2 stroke engine works....

Every German technical manual that I have ever read stated in it's preface that it was written for the technician......or whatever level of education was required to understand said manual....

the following is a direct quote from one of my MB Service Manuals.....

"The information contained in this special publication is ordinarily issued by Mercedes-Benz of North America, Inc. in conjunction with supplementary service literature and special tools supplied only to it's authorized dealers. The repair and maintenance procedures outlined herein are intended for use by trained Mercedes-Benz service and dealership personnel. This manual can also be useful for Mercedes-Benz owners in diagnosing vehicle systems and performing repairs."

The bold type is MBUSA'a and not mine.....

Don't knock the tech manual because you have not the technical education equal to the level that those whom it was written for have !

I will state here, again....if you don't have a clue as to how the FIP actually works, you should not be fooling with it in the first place.....you are actively seeking trouble.....the only similarity that diesel and gasser engines have...is....the friggin pistons go up and down ......pretty much the rest is way different both in design and operation.....

SB,

Thanks for pointing that post in that thread out. Ill read up on it. I havent come across these explanations in the hours of reading I have done on the subject. I haven't been keeping tabs on building 200 HP on the 617 since I long for 120 :-)

I certainly feel dumb a lot of the time when I finally figure out how to do something like this. That means I am learning something.

I am really appreciative of those with pro experience who help out here with folks like me. I'm an engineer in another industry, which like this one has a lot of passionate amateurs dabbling. And my company/product have a forum just like this one where I am on the other side of the knowledge exchange...so I know what its like.

Many thanks,
dd
