Has anyone done the Math on this ?
How much cooling do you think you are getting?
How much extra oxygen would that amount of cooling put into the cylinder?
If the fuel is calibrated properly for that amount of air entering the cylinder how much more hp/torque would that produce?
Is there a down side to extra cooling of an engine which uses the heat from compression as its source of ignition ?
Even in the MB diesels.. there is a difference in the compression ratio between the turbocharged engines and the normally aspirated.....At what amount of increase in volume would the bearings/rings/connecting rods see significant decrease in longivity ?
Usually in engine physics the hotter the engine is able to run the better the efficiency.
Will you need to increase the overall engine cooling capacity due to increased air entering the combustion chamber ?
I read the 18-25 percent figures from other stuff in earlier posts... I have a hard time believing that anything close to that amount of increase is available to an already turbocharged Diesel.... Am I just old and conservative/curmudgeon on this?
I once knew a guy with a Corvette that said he could feel the difference adding 8 ounces of NitroMethane to a 25 gallon tank of gas... I wonder if our machines would respond to that also...
