    Just curious about Gasoline to Diesel conversions.

    Sorry I don't speak English very well so I don't really know how to say things clearly the first time. I knew what I wanted to say, but it didn't come out right at all. Being tired doesn't help either. Yes there are some very knowledgable engineers here, and I hope I can learn as well as...

    Super- and turbocharging - 'twincharging'

    You all have good points, but you info is a bit dated. This was first used in the Group B rallying championship in the Lancia S4, yes. No, it wasn't a parallel arrangement. The turbo was routed right into the S/C after an I/C then ran into another I/C. Most currently it was tried on the...

    improving intercooler efficiency

    Not a stupid idea. I use my A/C routed through an air-liquid intercooler to cool off the charge. I average about 40*F inlet temps. The highest I've ever seen was 78*F. This is with a PWR canister style air-liquid 6"X10". Be sure to take into account the pressure ratios needed to...

    Just curious about Gasoline to Diesel conversions.

    Thanks that's the info I was looking for. I was trying to figure out how to ignite the mixture, but I couldn't without some drastic reshaping of the head, and accompanying materials. I wanted to use this in a racing situation where 1/4mi blasts are all that would be ran, but I guess I have to...

    Just curious about Gasoline to Diesel conversions.

    Sorry, I was up a little late so I probably wasn't making much sense even to myself. I've seen a gasoline engine converted to a diesel with a fuel injector installed where the spark plug belongs normally. I was curious if anyone knew anything about this. I'm looking to do this conversion with a...

    Just curious about Gasoline to Diesel conversions.

    I've seen one in person, but at the time I wasn't interested enough to check it out. I'm curious is to if anyne has any experience with this? If so was it done with the stock components or did it require extensive modifications? Basically I'm looking to convert a port injection engine into a...

    Journal Bearing Design - Does anyone use Raimondi & Boyd?

    I've heard of them and have read them, but in practice I never use them. I avoid using too many equations when the best way to design something (IMO) is to look at the problem and visualize the solution. I use a computer simply to get the Idea on the internet so I can E-mail it to a client when...

    Fluid properties across a throttle

    I was curious about this about three weeks ago when I was porting a friends TB. I figured, by looking at it only, that the flow on the bottom side of the plate would be high velocity with low pressure, and the flow over the top would be lower velocity with higher pressure. I didn't think about...

    Intake Plenum Volume

    I don't know too much about V-8 manifolds, but here's a site that has helped me in the past. http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/intake-tech-c.htm
