I don't think it's quite that simple. Backpressure from restriction in the injector shouldn't affect flow rate too much in this situation, because the IP plunger will just push it through at a higher pressure, maintaining the same flow rate... that is unless you attribute a delay in injection to flexing of the high pressure injector lines...
In short, injection duration should remain pretty much the same.. unless the system actually does flex enough to make this effect occur, in which case this mod, combined with adjusting the pop pressure to a higher setting, should result in significant (measurable) gains in power, and conversely, fuel economy, especially in the high end of the rev range where timely injection duration is of the greatest importance. EDIT: It is important to remember that the IP really doesn't "care" what pressure it is seeing. It can handle many times the 135 or so bar at which the injectors pop. |
From what I read on Extrude Hone process i got the impression they were talking about direct injection injector spray nozzles that have multiple tiny holes in them. On direct injection nozzles the seat of the injector pintel has a lot of metal around it and is exposed to combustion by way of the tiny holes.
Pintlel type nozzles normally (as in Mercedes) have only 1 hole in them and part of the pintel stick out into the combustion chamber. If you enlarge that hole enough (extreme example: if you enlarge the hole enough the pintel will fall out of the injector) you are going to get more carbon particles under the seat and expose more of the pintel seat to the heat of combustion. For racing this is not a problem but for everyday use you want longevity. |

What really counts for me anyway is: Did they do it right? I hope so. I expect so. And I can hardly wait to scrape a couple of hours of free time together so I can get 'em in and find out.:D I keep changing my mind which car to put 'em in they both need them! |
