Chrysler/Jeep Diesel Engines for Sale
Chrysler brought out several new diesel engines for export markets primarily, starting in 1999. The 3.1 liter turbo Diesel had an odd number of cylinders-five cylinders. All were designed to provide better fuel mileage, performance, and less noise, vibration, with improved manners while meeting Stage III emissions rules. They all have:
* Common Rail Fuel Control
(CR) with a high-pressure pump to achieve high injection pressures – 1,500 bar, yielding better spray atomization and fuel mixing for more efficient combustion. CR maintained these pressures throughout the engine’s full speed range.
* Pilot injection is a fuel spray which precedes the main spray to initiate combustion, made possible because of the precise electronic control CR makes available at each injector; it greatly reduces noise.
* Four valve direct injection brought 15% better fuel efficiency than indirect injection, and optimum positioning of the fuel injector for improved combustion characteristics. Direct injection is most efficient when the injector is centrally located, which is not possible in a two-valves-per-cylinder engine, where the injector location must be offset.
* Swirl Control (optional) at the cylinder head intake matches the air motion in the combustion chamber with the needs of the engine, without sacrificing the amount of flow. It is achieved by designing one port tangentially for maximum flow while the other is designed to induce swirl, or turbulence, to air entering the combustion chamber based on engine load and speed.A better description of the engines and vehicles:
* The 3.1 litre turbo-diesel on the 1999 Grand Cherokee was developed in conjunction with Detroit Diesel. It has an electronic injection pump, electronically-controlled, vacuum-actuated exhaust gas recirculation, and a special catalyst to control oxides of nitrogen.
* The 1.9 liter was developed by both Detroit Diesel and FEV Engine Technology. Volume production began in June 1999 for cars. It met EURO IV levels, thanks to centrally located fuel injectors, direct injection, four valves per cylinder, common rail fuel injection; electronic EGR; turbocharging, and a special catalyst to control oxides of nitrogen.
* The 2.5 liter diesel replaced the existing 2.5 litre diesel in the Voyager, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee. It featured balance shafts for reduced vibration, as did the gas-powered 2.5 and 2.4 liter four-cylinder Mopar engines. Gas mileage was expected to be 15% better than the older 2.5 Diesel, with more power. source: http://www.allpar.com/mopar/Diesel.html.
Since most of these engines were produced for foreign markets, less of them are in the USA. But many of them make their way here by different means. It is possible to have one of these engines in your vehicle. with that in mind, it becomes more important to buy engines from an outfit that knows exactly what they are doing.
