I have been finding this discussion, "Smoke gets in your eyes.....M-55
problem",
extremely helpful to me.
My questions and thoughts:
1. >Smoke will not go away by putting two hole injectors in. I bought a
new set an had them calibrated to 3200 and the smoke didn't change. It did
idle better.
I would think that better atomization would contribute to better idle and
overall
performance. How well does the single hole injector do its job. Not knowing
the spray pattern of either, 2 hole/1 hole, injectors, if one wanted to
pursue it, is
there a "better" injector available?
"calibrated to 3200", what does this mean?
2.>The most smoke comes between 3rd and 4th.
That tells me, plenty of fuel, not enough air. How well do these engines
breathe?
Are the intakes and exhausts any more restrictive then say a typical
commercial
truck? That said, I'm lead to believe that the engine is just not quite big
enough for the work load.
Is this a correct assumption?
3.>I have seen numerous truck in DRMO that have been converted to the
smaller turbo.
Are both turbos rated the same? Could the bigger turbo be made to supply more
air and hence more power from the engine? Or, are we stressing the engine
at this point?
I remember a "lister" sometime back, mention that the turbos were simply used
to satisfy EPA, less smoke, not so much, for more power.
I understand that the smaller turbo, will respond more quickly.
