Let me try something new.
You have 2000 psi behind a pipe that has a computer controlled valve on it. Now the computer can only see pressure, that it. If you swap that pipe out with one that is 4 times the size, the computer still only see's the pressure. There is more volume and less shock to the pipe when you go to the larger pipe. The shock is the back and forth movement when the computer opens and closes the valve. Bigger pipe doesn't see the shock that the smaller pipe does.
Make sence. The PCM was programmed for the smaller fuel stream going into the rail. Make it bigger and don't tell the PCM, it will still calculate for the small supply of fuel but you have now added more then 4 times the supply. Pressure and volume kind of go hand in hand but there are things like HYD shock (opening and closeing of injectors), heat, pressure expansion, bubbling, ect ect that happens with high pressure applications. This is why the pressure stays the same but the delivery changes.
Kind of like putting an intercooler on the car. They can both be the same size but one cools, moves, and works better because of the "design", nothing to do with materials its all design. God I hope this helps. |
