smokin'

From : montanajeeper

Q: on acceleration when pulling a load or otherwise driving with a heavy foot my powerstroke blows out deep black smoke the result of the chip giving it more fuel. at 600 ft. pounds my cummins wont smoke but ive seen diesels that will smoke at just over 500 ft. pounds. now i know it might not be popular amongst the enviro-whackos but im wondering if there is a simple way to make my cummins smoke under heavy load too without chipping it or upgrading the injectors or otherwise voiding that awesome cummins warranty. thanks .

the enviro-whackos but im wondering if there is a simple way to make my cummins smoke under heavy load too without chipping it or upgrading the injectors or otherwise voiding that awesome cummins warranty. not easily nate. the 600s have a faster-spooling turbo which gets the boost up there quickly hence no smoke. remember that the whole goal in designing this particular engine was to meet the 50-state emissions requirements. thats why the engine runs hotter than the 555ft.lb. version and thats partly due to the cat. pulling the cat wont hurt the engine warranty but anything you do to increase the rate of fuel delivery could have negative effects on your warranty. now you and i both know these engines are de-tuned significantly from what theyre capable of producing and increasing the output within sane limits wont have much of an effect on the engines reliability it may take the overhaul numbers from 350k down to 250k - big deal but from a warranty standpoint cummins gets real pissy when they see the fuel curves altered. read the sticker on the side of the valve cover best advice drive it stock for a while let the newness of it wear off and when it does lets start thinking of 500-600 horses at the wheels .

why would you want it to smoke if a diesel doesnt blow black smoke then its potential has been harnessed. although this is somewhat of an over-simplification typically airflow limits power on a gasoline engine. with a diesel its the fuel delivery that is the limiting factor. if you can dump the fuel to it the diesel can provide the air within reasonable limits. black smoke is the sign of a diesel engine performing to its potential. the more smoke the more efficiently the engine is running in terms of power potential. .

no i didnt miss it it is his view nothing more on how to eliminate exhaust smoke run it lean enough that there is always excess oxygen to combine with the carbon. if someone wants exhaust smoke and is willing to accept the consequences its their $$$ to spend on whatever chip it takes plus the extra fuel cost. as far as the air pollution that is btween the owner and whatever local agency he has to live with; any modern-design diesel will not smoke under normal usage. personally i wouldnt own a diesel that smokes the shop takes 3-4 days to air out after weve had a deisel in here but some folks view the smoke as an indication that the truck is putting out max power so much phlogiston but you cant tell em that. well gary did you miss the part where he specifically said diesel engines thus always need to be run lean of stoichiometric.. running it rich does nothing besides cause cylinder washdown and air pollution and that smoke and smell is one of the primary reasons why diesels are just not all that popular in the us. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving and as the article that you so kindly posted says for a number of reasons most diesel engines will emit visible hydrocarbons i.e. smoke if run near or over their stoichiometric fuel ratio. diesel engines thus always need to be run lean of stoichiometric. this indicates outright says that making his diesel smoke is not a good thing and will result in a less than optimum condition. i read it as saying that the fact it is smoking is because it is over stoichiometric ratio. nothing more..................... true it may not be optimum but other than using excess fuel not harmful to the engine. .

i think it may be somewhat before the smoke point. as the powder charge in a gun is most efficient when the energy is dissipated at or slightly before the end of the barrel i think the fuel combustion might be most efficient at a point before carbon in the exhaust reaches the point of visibility. thats a guess though. i have no credentials in that area. rick on sun 1 aug 2004 093245 -0700 yofuri yofuri@oakharbor.net wrote heres a better explanation of the logic http//www.diesel-central.com//cackle.htm rick neat page rick. looks to me like the best efficiency would be at that fine line just as you start to blow stuff out the exhaust greg .
