I don't see roller chain working/lasting unless you have it in an oil bath. As soon as roller chain gets too dry it'll hop and skip teeth or break. Been there far to many times with 80 and 100hd on equipment, even with good quality chain
Well I got the pump back a couple days ago and got it running yesterday. Not pretty, but it runs. Step one is done and that was to get it started. I tried to load the video but can't get it to work on here. It's on my Facebook page if you want to see it.
We made the injectors out of other injectors. Machined some parts to make them work. As far as end result or hp goal I don't really have a plan. First plan was to get it to run. Not sure what to do next.
I'd say in excess of w/e the pop pressure might be, by lets say roughly 5bar. by this I am referring to return/excess fuel, if the injector upon its pop/release of pressure were to utilize every fuel molecule being delivered at that point. if the injector were set at 325 bar. the pump would be delivering 330 bar at that point? but rpm should effect this, cam design/rate of injection also?? maybe someone has factual test stand numbers they could enlighten and share with us. be interesting data to obtain at idle, 3000 and 6000 rpm.
Aren't you at all concerned with taking out the low pressure oil pump? I know fluidampers were pretty good at doing that, not really sure as to the why though. In my head though putting all that load and harmonics of a ppump would wreck havoc on the low pressure pump.
