Okay this post is pretty much going to be questions but I'm alittle confused.
I'm looking at just a damos runing around here I'll upload so you can see what I'm doing.
1:what is pump tension?
2:what is drivers decide? also what are the actual names for these maps?
3: last thing as I need these answers before I can ask more, what is the limit? In petrol cars you encounter knock so you back off. What tells you to back off in the diesel engines?
It won't let me upload file so here is the link, It's the last file the a4 tdi
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=2304.0If u ask for the meaning of these maps.
1. Pump voltage should be the right name. Edc15 as ur alh engine has the vp37 injection pump. Over the pump voltage the fueling is regulated.
2. Drivers decide should be drivers wish map. The fueling target u wish with your throttle in mg/stroke.
Limitations u have with Diesel engine is basically fueling. You need an amount of time to inject a amount of fuel. The more your rpm is the less your window for injection left.
Basically Diesel engines don't really have knock. Lean and rich is also no harm to the engine. It's more about having smoke or don't having.
In Diesel engines power depends on how much fuel u get into the engine at the right time.
And if u keep afr at about 15.5 (if I don't lie at this point) you should see no smoke.
For a stage 1 remap there isn't a lot of stuff to change. Basically there are three maps to change.
Drivers wish (should be high enough already)
Torque map (could use some tune normally)
Smoke map (where the stage 1 remap basically happens)
You can say that out of these maps ur fueling will be decided. Smoke map is on stock almost always the limit. And the decision is made by looking on the lowest value out of these 3 maps.
But be careful the more fuel you want to inject the more time for that injection is necessary. It is mostly measured in crankshaft rotation.
The amount on time in crankshaft rotation depends on 3 values.
1.amount of fuel together with how large ur injectors are.
2.start of injection (there are about 5 maps for different conditions)
3.rpm (if u want to inject e.g. 20mg/stroke at 2000rpm ur injectors take let's say 10degree of CR . As ur rpm rises ur speed of ur crankshaft rises. At 4000rpm it will then take 20degree of CR to inject the same amount of fuel) that's just a roughly explanation.
The problem in too long injection timing based on CR is that if u go far behind of let's say 20 degree after top dead center with your end of injection (start of injection + time of injection)
Your egt will rise to unhealthy conditions.
the next problem is the boost map. Your engine runs a vtg turbo. If u inject more fuel u get mor exhaust gas to spool the turbo. This has to be compensated through n75map and the boost map. Otherwise it will be too much.
