IDI diesel efficiency
IDI diesel efficiency
(OP)
Aside from turbocharging, I've seen pumping losses in and out of the precombustion chamber, and thermal losses into the cylinder head mentioned as the main culprits behind the disparity in efficiency. But... I've never seen any quantification of which does what, and I was wondering if anyone has. I was thinking, it'd be cheaper to take an old idi diesel, ceramically coat the precombustion chamber, and turbocharge it, to get 9/10ths of the engine efficiency for 1/5th the money.

malone, and redrotors(site admin so watch out as he has billions and billions of stars, opps posts)D) and 1.6 td, you may have to try several differnt serch terms. There will be more talk on this than you will want to read at several sittings I have some pre-chamber posted here about this here IDI vs TDI and electronic fuel injection for older diesels or something like that. the best I can remember right now.
No engineers that I know of, but a ton of VW IDI, TDI and several other good ones
