does a turbo charger make a difference

[newnitrofan]

Ummm a turbo charger will never properly work out on a little rc car. You have to get the hemisphere's right and than you have to get the vacuum right. Than there is a need for a waste gate and all that. More trouble than it's worth pursuing on some of these little cars. They are meant to have fun with.

Hmm The main reason diesels have glow plugs is to help assist with the igniting of the air/fuel mixture when it is cold out or the engine is cold. That is the only reason cause other then that they do not glow once the engine has warmed up. Diesels run on high compression as others have already stated. A rc engine needs the glow plug cause when it fires the heat of the igniting air/fuel mixture will help keep the coil in the glow plug red. Seems all pretty simple if you ask me.

God dang there are some redtards in here. Every diesel does have a source for heat. Some are glow plugs and some are heat coils built into the cylinder. The only way a diesel can ignite is with compression and heat. and the only way a nitro engine without a spark plug can ignite is with compression and heat. And another thing you can't call a rc engine a diesel engine because of several things 1 rc engines run off Nitro and alchol 2 rc engines are 2 stroke diesels are not 3. diesels have valves rc do not 4. Diesels have oil in a crankcase with pressure rc do not.........

I could go on and on with all the differences

I'm pretty sure the Trucks episode on Spike TV had an old "Detroit Diesel" featured in the "How it works" section I spoke of earlier was two stroke. Can't swear to it though, I deleted it off Tivo.

Ok, you, yourself, pointed out one of the similarities between diesels and nitro engines. Secondly diesels are called diesals because of the way they ignite their fuel. A forklift has a diesel engine and it uses propane for fuel so the type of fuel it runs dosen't mean poop. The Diesel is named after the inventor. On #3 the Deltic Diesal does not have valves and to show #2 is wrong the Deltic and Detroit Diesel is a 2 stroke. And on #4 the Deltic Diesal does not have any oil in it crankcase. If I missed anything else that was wrong in your post I'm sorry and I'm not a retard so get your punk ass back in line, damn it. You could go on and on with the differences and I could prove them all wrong :bowned:

i work at a local hobby shop and the owner ordered a super charger for a Savage and it did nothing but lean out the fuel mixture. I worked on it for days and never really could get anymore performance out of it that I couldn't have gotten by just leaning out the motor

 

[dpk136]

no....That does not make them diesel engines. Running Diesel fuel through them would make them Diesel. They are NITRO engines, because they run Nitro through them.

 

[ADDAndy]

Wh wouldn't the engine be called an alcohol engine then, since 80 to 90 percent of the fuel is usually alcohol?

 

[30%NitroBoy]

All the points about the real world ability to boost a Nitro Glow engine have been made here so no need to elaborate.

IF one wants a substantial increase in power out of a Nitro Engine, get it properly mod'd. Many high end nitro engines are already aggresively "mod'd" from the factory but most nitro engines IME can c a slight or substnatial increase in overall power with a proper mod. Just don't let some kid on E-bay with a dremel tool who claims to be the "mod master" get his paws on your engine as most damage is NOT reversable.

Their are some excellent Professional Engine moders out their but I'm not naming any names as I'm not getting any checks for advertising...lol. Just use common sense and find as much info as possible about an engine mod'r before proceeding.

OK i am reading this out of my dads diesel repair manual.
"There are many similarities between diesel and gasoline engines but it's the diffrences involved in ingnition of fuel that makes servicing and repairing a Diesel engine unigue.The diesel engines covered by this manual operat on the same four-stroke prinicple(intake,compression,power, and exhaust)as most gasoline engines.But,instead of igniting the fuel and air in the cylinder duringf the third stroke by introducing a spark from a spark plug as on gasoline engine,the diesel engines uses compression ignition.Compresssion ignition occurs when extremely high compression ratio of a diesel engine(18:1 to 24:1 as oppossed to gasoline engine ratios of 5:1 to 14:1) compresses the air in the cylinder untill its hot enough(around 1000-degrees F)to ingnite when fuel is injected.


My dads truck is a diesel and is turbo charged
It is a dodge 3500 cummins turbo diesel 24 valve

sorry for the long post

 

[ADDAndy]

NitroKing did you post thta to be on the side of these little engines are diesels or these little engines are completely different?

 

[nitroking]

That they are differebnt that the ignition is totally different.basically in the winter wit the Diesels truck when you turn the key it wsay wait to start engine or sumthing like that that is basicallu the only time it uses the glowplugs since when that light goes off it mean the glow plugs are heated up and i will start

 

[ADDAndy]

My dad's truck uses glow plugs to start during the summer and winter.

 

[nitroking]

Well yea but they dont need to warm up in the summer the air can get up to temperature to ingnite in the winter it can the block is cold that is why you usally plug in diessels to and since the block is cold the plugs need to heat up to help ignite the fuel.

WHat kind of truck and what engine

 

[ADDAndy]

1988 Ford F-350 the biggest engine you could get but ill have to look that up.

 

[nitroking]

It is probly the 7.3 LTR Turbo Diesel

i have seen an r/c car run off of nitrous oxide dispensed from an old paintball regulator, an ez-whip 12 gram cartridge( looks identical to a co2 cartridge for bb pistols but instead of co2 has nitrous oxide) and a servo that was used to puncture the top of no cartridge. it was not direct injection bit a dry system. it sprayed a constant but controled amout of nos out(thanks to paintball reg) until cartridge was empty. he poked a hole behind his air filter and ran the nos through microline hosing and pretty much.....violla. ran like a bi*ch but ruined his engine. way to hot and scored the crap outta everything. ill see if i can find video of it and set a link.

 

[Hypedonrc]

Video Video Video.....

 

[money2blow]

videos a no go but ill one up it and try it myself with an old car my friend gave me. ill get back at ya with video then. give me some time but man was it cool to watch and hopefully i can recreate it.

 

[Hypedonrc]

sounds good
