Are there any disadvantages of removing the pre and/or post events?
i made some changes to my file yesterday taking out pilot injection (thanks fubar). i killed all the injection quantity, injection timing, ECT, pilot pulse, ...basically everything with a table (none of the line graphs) that had to do with pilot got 0'd. some things i notice.
1. did start easier
2. did run quiter
3. seemed to me that rolling into the throttle after tq converter locks up, it has less smoke
4. no white smoke on start up. didn't have any with pilot on before, but with it off, there was still none
a few questions/concerns i had
1. is it supposed to rattle like a 12v at idle? sounded good as shit, but just didn't know if it was supposed to sound like that
2. at start up, there was a noise i never heard before. maybe me not used to no pilot and it starting better?
3. had more of a haze from take off to around 1600-1700rpms, then cleared up. not sure if i should pull fuel or add timing but i'm sure i could get it worked out.
other then that, didn't get much time to mess with it. couldn't do a fuel economy comparison. wasn't sure about the 3 questions above, so loaded my old file back in. like to hear what others think about this. gonna leave it on till i get more info.

1. Yes (there's no pre-explosion to warm up for the big explosion)
2. Don't worry. That's music to a diesel motorhead's ears. Goes with above statement.
3. Just play with it. You sound like you got a level head on you.
4. There was no four. Oh well, congrats on making it work! Now just have fun tuning with it to get a more powerful injection event.

ok, thanks for your help yesterday. will work with timing tomorrow to clear up the smoke from take off. hope you got your problem takin care of. take it easy man
Yea, sucking the intake up into the turbo ain't good, but the Cummins took it with stride.

Lol, I think everything's alright. I run a 2nd gen exhaust manifold and wanted to use my intake. It just stopped the turbo dead in it's tracks. It's a thin silicone wall air duct with plastic spline to prevent collapsing. Well it did prevent it for 4 months. Gale Banks runs it on his type-r race truck where I got it from. Anyways, a 1" piece of plastic spline made it in the turbo and who knows where else. Bout the size of an ink cartridge in an ink pen 1" long. If it did make it to the engine, hopefully it just melted. Got aluminum pipe and heavy duty silicone hose coming today to fix it.
