So, I was thinking of all the problems every one is having with ECM's, MAF's, O2 sensors and whatnot. In carborated vehicles the answer is simple. Change the jetting in the carb. Smaller jets = less fuel no matter what the ECM says. Problem solved.
What about injectors? For people like myself with the '06 cummins, I can put smaller injectors in. They make a wide range of them for different purposes. Marine applications with the same engine that is in my truck uses much larger injecters. Go back a few years and the stock injectors are smaller than the current ones. Also, most of the performance 'chips' or 'programmers' change the timing and duration of the amount of fuel the injectors spray into the intake. My Bullydog programmer does this. So just what am I getting at?
Many of you are spending considerable time trying to stop the various sensors from sending the signals they were designed to do. So far, from what I have read, there has not been a whole lot of success to this approach. It seems to me there might be better options. Smaller injectors is one option for some engines just like using smaller jetting in a carb. Another option for some may be to simply reduce the fuel pressure. Less pressure means less fuel pushed through the injector. Splice the fuel line with a short piece of smaller diameter line. Or another option for some may be to shorten the duration on the spray from the injector. This would be done electronicly and may even be simple, I don't know.
Details of this thought of mine are not available. It is just a thought. And better yet, (a rarity on this forum, most of the ideas, designs, and theories presented here are awfull familure most the time) I probably read the idea elswhere and just can't remember where.
At any rate, less fuel is the desired goal when sensors tell the ECM that more fuel is needed. Why not leave the sensors and ECM to do their thing and just limit the fuel that is available? Is that putting it simply enough?
