Very interesting too see the difference between those settings

Videos like this are why I subscribe and buy your products. Real world testing and results, and then sharing all your findings. Super interesting stuff. Love these vids, keep 'em coming!

That's awesome. Really explained it well I never quite understood how it all worked. Now you just have to get the K27 vids out! 😉

Loved the planing mechanic in the background lol Very interesting information, I was more interested in torque readings than HP Great video

I'm 3 years late here but I hope you still keep up with the comments. I really enjoyed this and you guys seem to explain tuning really well while others are vague almost as if they're scared that us consumers are going to start tuning our own trucks and they'll lose business. Not many people are going to be able to tune themselves, but it's sure nice to understand the science behind good tuning. With my MM3, I'm now watching timing and pulse width to see the difference between my 5 tunes. It's fun to watch first hand and the differences in power are dramatic with minimal changes. Then there is also rail pressure that they can increase but either way it is nice to have a better understanding of what makes good tuning. Now I understand what makes a good towing tune and how the tuner can keep egt low. Thank you!

Thank you for the comment

The results are interesting, yet that makes sense relative to the better power results by adding fuel before TDC based on the fact that common rails run higher injector pressures which improves (increases) the fuel burn due to better fuel atomization (increased surface area). The real test in my mind is to track the impact of injector timing on EGT's and MPG when towing on a grade vs. a dyno. Great video; very helpful. Thanks.

Dang, this channel is awesome. I love tech vids.

Love the videos you guys do! Knowledge is power! 👍👍👍

very interesting. Obviously the higher injection pressures of common rail eliminate smoke, emissions and are more forgiving in giving up power. great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for another awesome video. 😁

Hmm, makes sense EGT's rise w after tdc injection.. Fuel is still burning. Great testing Todd, thanks!

Super good vid. Keep these coming.

Very cool! I know in training the theory on CR is no matter what there is a small shot of fuel before tdc to start the flame. But not enough to cause the clatter noise. And then inject the remaining fuel in to the flame. Easier to light a small amount. Most pcm’s are capable of 4-6 injection events per power stroke. (All of which lead up to the CR’s being more forgiving)

Your videos go so far to help me understand more about diesel engines. My Dodge diesel caught fire a couple of months ago so I am shopping for a new truck and I do plan to put a mild tune on it, mostly for towing and efficiency.

So sorry to hear!

Another awesome video

Great educational video! Now let’s add bigger injectors and then let’s add more turbo.

Great Video! I know you guys sell your own tunes now but have you thought about adding a tuning segment of videos on top of the rest of the awesome tech tips for parts and transmissions you already do. Would be awesome to get a general insight on other aspects of tuning like relation of Pilot timing to Main and what you like to keep total degrees of timing at!

Hello guys. This was an very interesting video and a good explain 👍 thank you ✌️

Good stuff

Great information.

From a daily driver stand point, what do the different timings do to the lower rpm torgue and torgue curve? I see the tests starting at 2K, but I pull a 5th wheel with an automatic. Also what's easier on the engine? I'd like to find a compromise, no loss at lower rpm with gains more up top. Even better, more torque/HP across the curve over stock with no major difference in engine longevity. Thanks, Enjoy the videos. Please keep them coming.

interesting. ok so i was a dodge/chrysler/jeep tech for 17years.. in the early common rail fuel management class they described the fuel event as a "pilot shot" to start the burn then chase the piston down with multiple shots for a sustained burn. they didnt talk actuall timing or percentages of before and after. they talked about engine noise levels and increased torque due to an increased burn time that would drive the piston down for a longer period of time vs. a single "big bang". so your finding are very interesting to me... power and egt.

Can you do a video talking about the differences in drivability, towing etc for various timing? Thanks

Great info 👍

Awesome video!Can you guys do a comparison with just injection pressure?I know a lot of tuners like to take a 5.9 to 26,000 like a 6.7 to pick up power.Was the post and pilot injection left on a stock map?

thanks for the VID I would like to see EGT and opacity of the exhaust as the tunes change I assume further advanced LOWER EGT and LESS smoke even if it was just tho 120% VS 50/50 as those tunes were close and would show the difference

Earlier timing with a low pulse width is allowing the fuel to atomize in the cylinder for a couple microseconds my research has lead me to believe when injecting large quantities of fuel to make power, that the injecting it early and allowing it to atomize will help reduce unburnt fuel and optimize power. And run high rail pressure.

If power levels are close, then focus on EGT's? Dyno runs are short bursts vs a long pull on a hill ... I know you race but I'd bet more guys are interested in towing performance... and keeping all the engine parts under the hood ;)

@@pddofficial set the dino to simulate the hill on the south end of town or even better yet set the dino to simulate the SAE tow tests' Hill Davis Dam. It's a mild 4 to 6% grade better would be locked in first 25 miles an hour at 14% for about 5 minutes tell us how the fan kicking in effects the output. Yes the fan consumes between 25 and 75 horsepower on a Cummins engine as per Cummins but the additional airflow in that shop setting should yield colder air by means of density Improvement I'd like to know if the Improvement is bigger then the draw of the stationary fan not allowing the intercooler to do his job on improving hair density. Let's face it in Utah sometimes the wind is blowing up the hill faster than your driving if you're heavy EG no airflow in your intercooler until the fan kicks in

that's why you have at least 3 different tunes. One for gas mileage, one for towing and another for max power.

You can get variable injection timing on a P-pump....just grind some teeth off the pump gear. ;-P Oh, and also make sure your hood, firewall, and fenders are made of blast shield material. Fantastic info, keep it up!

could you go into more detail on P-pump and VE pump timing? and how the dynamic timing of the VE pump works and its benefits over the P-pump?

Could you do a video on p pump timing, what is too much, what is not enough, and what is ideal? I've come to the conclusion for 500hp 20-22* is about right, but it would be great to have a little more insight on this.

I agree.. I have a Freightliner fl60 tow pig. 12v 6sp truck. I've done the AFC LIVE and .055 DV with long travel kit for stock boost. My data plate says 11 degrees. What will be the difference from 11 to 16 degrees?? What is the advantage? I'm actually going to call you about this. I cruise at 65 at 2000 rpms. My little truck is commonly at 25 to 30k with truck, 53ft gooseneck trailer and load. Lots of long passes between cda idaho and Indiana.

Hold on 14:30 Stock setup injects fuel ATDC? Did I correctly understand this? New to CTD and was just thinking about timing this earlier today. Lol. *LOVE IT!*

What would the 50-50 split on the CR equate to in degrees on a P-pump?

What would happen to the most efficient burn or most complete emissions at tail pipe with the sniffer.

Is it possible the the pilot injection(s) 10 or 20 deg before the main injection cycle are why the later injection times were not as poor as expected and were so different than a p-pump would have been?

Awesome content! Do u have a video on like a Edge juice w Attitude what it makes for power on a 99 and the dos and donts? I'm learning this truck I got, it's all new to me, I was a old 7.3 Ford guy but couldn't pass up this low mi 99 Cummins

Hi we never got to see the graph..?or is it my iPad skipping. You use the term explodes when describing the fuel burn, I know on gas engines that caused pinking/knocking is it the same for diesels or like you say later you use burn.....is what you need a burn rather than an explosion?

One more thing when are you going to add the torque converter lockup switch and do it again?

looking at the timing calculators 100% BTDC at about 1900us is starting to inject at about 37 degrees BTDC at 3200. What about running something like 2500us pulsewidth? Starting injection at nearly 50 degrees BTDC at 3200 to get 100% of the fuel in BTDC seems extremely early to me. I'm used to mechanical injection where as stated, all the fuel is in depending on crank rotation and not by a timed duration. Just trying to learn some things, I guess I've stayed between the 70/30 and 50/50 split because the timing numbers worried me.

Awesome video. I have been playing with timing on my 06 cummins using hptuners. I couldn’t determine a good method for choosing timing. I started with using p-pump numbers on the main soi at 150mm3 and interpolating it down lower. I found that smarty has a calculator but I think that was 50-50, and the truck didn’t wake up. I tried to do more math based on astm and petroleum research papers for diesel ignition delay and pressure curves at 1600rpm. I tried to reverse calculate ignition delay in uS to crank degrees and it seems happier. Have you found any correlation between the 100/0 and 80/20 splits and optimizing ignition delay periods?

Great video, really cool to hear the side by side (almost) you can tell easy which one makes power just by the sound. DId you name the truck yet? (Odin Odin Odin) hahaha ! Since I started watching your channel I now want another Cummins. I do like this little Ecodiesel (29 mpg hwy is nice) but I sure miss that 800HP 6.7 under my right foot. I think it's time to find a square body 1 ton SRW and drop in a 6.7. Time to sell the FJ60 diesel.....and get wrenchin...

Do you recall what the timing actually was day to? I know you said 120% before tdc. Curious what that actually was. Not that I expect you to share your timing table.

Try adding boost to the graph use the Telemetry equipment you had on the race truck. offer a temporary part or the whole of the Telemetry kit as an upsell on Dyno runs, I would have paid extra for it . Crank speed would have been nice instead of calculated RPM(91.5[june]=no factory tack or sender).

How much max timing for a 2000 micro second tune?

this begs the question, if your egt's are going down as you advance timing, Could you add more total fuel by raising pressure and pick up more power? I guess the answer to this question would be more apparent if we recorded AFR for those pulls.

@@pddofficial awesome, thanks for the response. I tune and have tuned hundreds of gas engines but have limited knowledge of diesels so I'm interested in learning more about the ins and outs of tuning them.

Can the rpm be flashed to 3500 to 4000 in the red zone

Is this with or without pilot injection?

I was going to ask how a p-pump injects enough fuel at higher rpms given that the window that the injector is open is shorter. But I thought a little about it and figured that the higher rpms would cause the pump to make more pressure. Am I right on this? Also, is there anyway a p-pump engine can be modified to make it a common rail? One last question. What is your opinion on the new Dodges with the 1000 pound-foot of torque?

And while tearing it apart I see that I need a new cam and I was looking at your stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 cams and have questions about which one would be best for my truck which is going to be just a daily driver and light towing truck. I think number two would be best for my application just wanted your thoughts on it and if I should put new valve springs in as well or if stock ones will be fine?

Is Todd's CR more "forgiving" of late timing because the exhaust valve is closed longer on the cam? I've heard that 06-07 has "in-cylinder EGR" - safe to assume earlier trucks are cracking valve open a bit before the power stroke is complete?
