not sure of what the ecu limp mode limit is but sensor max's out at 36psi according to the manual.
ok, Ive just heard there was some predetermined psi which ran the zd30 into limp mode, i just assumed it was the map sensor as this seemed most relevant.
so the MAP has a 36psi limit, so what causes the zd30 nav to go into limp when high boost is set.
I just plan on fiddling with boost a little bit to probably around 20psi with a stage 3 billet high flow.
my only concern was the longevity of the head, as the TD42 can run higher boost without detrimental effects due to being steel.
ans as for the comment above, diesel run cooler the more boost or "leaner" the mixture is, detonation doesn't apply. Fuel or a rich mixture causes high EGT and engine failure. The only negative with high boost is usually high IAT (inlet air temps)-turbo dependent.
as diesels A/F ratio varies significantly all the time from idle to full throttle.
Im confident the bottom end +bottom end bearings could handle 20psi as on the patrol forums they were discussing the inertial effects on the piston cycle with higher boost. Basically boost was not as significant as i once thought.
Anyone care to elaborate if they know the thread im talking about, cant seem to find it.
