Diesel engines: general service & repair manuals (2/2)

High-Performance Diesel Builder's Guide - GM, Ford & Dodge

This book explains the operation of modern diesel engines and methods to safely enhance power and performance. It covers all key components of turbocharged diesel engines, including the intake system, camshaft, cylinder heads, fuel system, combustion chambers, transmissions, and gearing.

Advice is provided by author Joe Pettitt, Gale Banks, and other industry experts, offering guidance for both novice and experienced diesel enthusiasts. Topics include airflow components such as the turbocharger and intercooler, the use of electronic tuners, and the choice between nitrous oxide and propane injection.

A dedicated chapter introduces engine thermodynamics using clear explanations, diagrams, and charts to illustrate key concepts and principles.

Popular turbo diesel engines are discussed, including Ford Power Stroke, GM Duramax, and Dodge Cummins B and ISB.

Light Duty Diesels (Modern Diesel Technology)

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to light-duty diesel engines, which are now widely used in pickup trucks and cars for better fuel efficiency and durability. While focusing mainly on highway applications, author Sean Bennett also discusses small stationary and off-highway diesel engines. The book is structured to help readers understand diesel engine technology conceptually.

Bennett covers the tools needed for hands-on technical skills and explores key engine subsystems and fuel management systems used in the past decade, including common rail systems used in most modern light-duty diesel engines.

The text also examines engine management systems, computer controls, multiplexing electronics, diesel emissions, and their control methods. It includes a study of all generations of CAN-bus technology, including the latest automotive CAN-C multiplexing, as well as network bus troubleshooting basics.

Learning objectives for ASE A-9 certification are also addressed in detail.

Systèmes d'injection diesel - Common-rail et injecteur pompe (2ème édition)

The common rail injection system, called the Common-Rail system, is distinguished by the presence of a single high-pressure accumulator that supplies the injectors.
This technique marks the birth of a new generation of diesel engines that offer remarkable performance in terms of efficiency and consumption.

Unlike conventional engines, the injection pump is replaced by a high-pressure pump. In addition, a common rail directly supplies the injectors that are electronically controlled by an injection computer. Electronic control of this operation optimizes the operation of the machine by accurately determining the volume of fuel to be used and the duration of the injection.

The pre-injection technique that characterizes these engines allows them to operate silently, while reducing fuel consumption. This book guides you to check, with a multimeter and oscilloscope, the proper functioning of your engine. This document, enriched with demonstration diagrams, covers nearly 60 symptoms and frequent failures concerning the common rail injection system.

This book contains chapters describing:
- the operation of injection systems
- verification with multimeter and oscilloscope
- additional functions and EOBD diagnosis
- anti-pollution systems and catalysts
- 60 symptoms and frequent failures.

Dieselinspuitsystemen met Unit Injector System / Unit Pump System

The Unit Injector System is able to inject the fuel into each cylinder individually, under very high pressure, at the right time and in the right quantity. This results in significantly better combustion than with conventional injection systems. This means more power, lower fuel consumption and lower emissions of harmful substances and less noise development.

With the help of this Dutch technical course, you will learn about the pump injector system for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, as well as the Unit Pump System, also known as the pump line system, for commercial vehicles. You will see how the components function and work together.
The operation and construction of the high-pressure injection, the electronic control and the sensors are described in detail.

Contents:
- Diesel combustion
- Diesel injection systems overview
- UIS/UPS system overview
- Unit Injector (UI)
- Unit Pump (UP)
- Injectors and injector holders
- Electronic Diesel Control (EDC)
- Sensors
- Electronic control unit
- Actuators.
