System Tuning and
Nozzle Selection
The Straight-Shot and Double-Shot sys-
tems come pre-packaged with several
different nozzle options that cover a
wide range of applications, but some
controller setting optimization may help
dial in your system for your intended
usage.
When configuring for maximum perfor-
mance, the largest kitted nozzles should
be installed. If engine hesitation, misfir-
ing, or early ignition (excessive combus-
tion noise or rattling) is experienced,
reduction of the commanded pump duty
cycle, along with raising the boost refer-
ence points will reduce the injection
quantity to help reduce this. If required,
reduce the nozzle size to make large
changes in injection quantity.
If typical fluid consumption is higher
than desired, increase the initial boost
reference point to decrease the fre-
quency with which the controller acti-
vates (turning on only at higher load).
If more frequent injection is desired (for
instance, when combating a constant
high-EGT condition with distilled water,
or offsetting diesel fuel usage with a
water-methanol mixture), a proportion-
ally small jet should be used, with a
reduced initial boost reference point
and low starting and final pump duty
cycle values (a ‘flat’ response curve).
