Modern diesel engines are equipped with injection the system common rail regulated electronically via the Electronic Computer Unit (ECU). To get more leverage improved performance, piggyback devices are now available for diesel engines.
Piggyback function is, to manipulate the data from the engine to the ECU. Thus, “When we use a piggyback, the ECU would not be a problem in reading the changes we have done, “said Ovi Sardjan, mechanical workshop in Equatorial Surya Nusa number Scouts, Central Jakarta.
By using a piggyback, some settings in the diesel engine can be arranged according to their needs. One is the supply of diesel engine required. “We can enlarge the supply of diesel fuel to the engine, so that the process of compression becomes more leverage, without wasteful of fuel,” added Ovi.
In addition, common rail can be adjusted according to the needs of the engine. How, by raising or lowering the pressure injector squirts fuel into the chamber during compression.
But it has consequences. If the pressure injector common rail made ??low, the engine is not too ‘fussy’ with quality diesel fuel. However, it could result in engine vibration becomes greater. Conversely, if the pressure is made high, power will increase. But it must be coupled with the use of diesel fuel quality
