As the title mentions, sometime over this winter/next summer i will be starting a new engine build(5.9 12v) for my track/race car. I like the idea of using monotherm's since the rest of the engine will be built completely but sadly they are currently 24v specific, as you already know.
Now i've been doing as much research(google loves me) as i could, gets kind of tiring after only finding 2 helpful posts for every 50 i read. on some forums people say using 24v pistons in a 12v simply wont work due to the different bowl offset's(which completely makes sense). However one past thread started on this site on this very subject stated that it can be done if the correct injector tip/nozzle is used, but never went into detail about what spray angle would be necessary.
So my question is, what sorta of spray angle would be needed to use a 24v piston in a 12v? My mind tells me the narrowest spray angle available. Would this be a correct assumption? Would advancing/retarding timing be helpful/necessary as well?
or will this just simply not work at all unless you do a full 24v head swap.
thank you for any input, sorry if this has been answered already and i simply missed it in my searches.
