Title: TFSI higher HPFP pressure in cruise to better MPG? Post by: curamrdan on November 19, 2017, 06:02:31 AM Hello, just have an idea. First 2ltr 147kw TFSI engines have higher(on paper) consumption than newer 2.0 TSI 155kw engines. One of main changes is higher fuel pressure(110bar to 150bar, the peak values). So did anybody try tries to set higher pressure(as much as possible,even use RS4 prv) in cruise rpm/load area on TFSI engines + compensate to correct lambda , to reach better MPG ?

Not only do you not understand engines, you do not understand mixture control in MED9. Short answer - NO POINT. As to why, do some reading.

I asked if anybody tried it in real. Your confidence is from teoretical knowledge only, so ok its probably obvious fact = you dont wasted time by doing it. Are you willing to point me where i can read it? Title: Re: TFSI higher HPFP pressure in cruise to better MPG?

Pick up a book about engines and EFI and read the basics. And then open the MED9 FR and read how IPW is calculated. Not my fault if you are lazy and want everything served to you on a silver platter instead of doing some reading. Title: Re: TFSI higher HPFP pressure in cruise to better MPG? Post by: cherry on November 19, 2017, 08:07:18 AM You are talking about MED9 147kKW and MED17 155KW engine? These engines are completely different hardware, open the engine hood and you see it immediately. It´s EA113 and EA888...
Title: Re: TFSI higher HPFP pressure in cruise to better MPG? Post by: curamrdan on November 19, 2017, 08:30:25 AM PRJ: i expect you pick only "negative" what i wrote. It was writed and meaned only strictly to rise pressure inside cruising condition, nothing else. Sorry if i make you angry about that, i probably wrote it bit akward.
Cherry: of course, i pick the "difference" between them, which can be changed on the older one. As engineers have an reason why rised the pressure, but i asked in the end, if its to lower MPG or for something else. Title: Re: TFSI higher HPFP pressure in cruise to better MPG? Post by: prj on November 19, 2017, 11:37:12 AM I already told you that pressure has no direct correlation with fuel efficiency.
If you do not understand why, then read about DI systems and how/why pressure is set in the first place. I'll give you a hint - it is to do with IPW / injection duration / optimal angle. By blindly increasing pressure in cruise area you will always worsen fuel consumption. Title: Re: TFSI higher HPFP pressure in cruise to better MPG? Post by: nyet on November 19, 2017, 08:00:27 PM If fuel pressure magically increased fuel economy, why wouldn't everyone just increase fuel pressure until all cars magically had infinite fuel economy?
Where did you get the idea that increasing fuel pressure would give you better fuel economy? What mechanism would give this result? Title: Re: TFSI higher HPFP pressure in cruise to better MPG? Post by: adam- on November 20, 2017, 12:46:38 AM More pressure more better?

It's not just the pressure, but everything else involved between that pressure and the cylinder. Just guessing his train of thought. |
