Long project: ELITE. ELectronical Injection Timing Enhancement.
I made a small step again...
To be able to connect the fuel-line to the adapter, the adapter needs to have that conical hole, and that is a PITA: how to make a drawing of it, so the lathe-guy can make it?
then, I stumbled upon this:
Soooooo .. the idea is:
And then:
This of course have to be welded!!!
Because, very simple: outer diameter of the lathed-down peace would be 9mm, inner hole diameter is 5mm.
This makes an area of ( pi * (4.5^2 - 2.5^2 ) ) = 44mm^2
If there will be pressure peaks of, lets say, 600 bar ... there will be a force of
F = p * A = 60 N/mm^2 * 44 mm^2 = 2640 N ... ( comparable to force applied by 264 kg of mass)
This means that if you make a press-fit with less than 300 kg, the adapter may loosen during the test. A nice weld bead will prevent that
