Speed of Air claims their dimpled pistons make more power and reduce particulate emissions of diesel engines, and have the data to back their claim up.
the rage for those who do big jobs . Many truck owners are always on the lookout for a way to make more power, reduce fuel consumption, and even reduce particulate emissions to reduce the cost of filling up their Diesel Exhaust Fluid tanks. That's why the claims that Speed of Air makes about their pistons are so enticing to those looking to rebuild their engines. But do these dimples actually work? They sent us the data to show us that it's not just for show.
Unfortunately, the reused head bolts were the reason the engine was pulled again as Newmont North America stated in its report"Had it not been for the risk of equipment downtime and possible further damage, caused by additional head bolt breakage, it is reasonable the engine would have stayed in service for a longer, but unknown, period of time.
only a set of Speed of Air pistons installed. In that report, there was a 15.5 percent increase in horsepower and a 15.2 percent increase in torque. That's not where the good news stops, either, as this report found that the Brake-Specific Fuel Consumption was reduced by 3.2 percent, the opacity of the exhaust was reduced by 77.6 percent, NOx levels reduced by 61 percent, exhaust hydrocarbons dropped by 32.5 percent, and CO2 levels dropped by 41.4 percent.
One of those specific markets SoA is looking to service is California commercial diesel truck owners and operators. Foroperating in heavy-duty vehicles weighing over 14,000 pounds, California has prohibited them from operating in and registering within the state. The issue comes down to the emissions of these particular engines, but the emissions improvements SoA has shown with just their pistons could become their saving grace.
"We are still in development on that and it will likely take at least 2,500 hours of durability testing," said Parkhurst,"but we'll see when we get a test letter issued from CARB. We think we will target either CAT C-series engine families or possibly the Detroit 12.7 and 14L 60 series, first.
