Craig..Actually the "stumble" quote belongs to Steve Bozso(I wish I had said it first).I believe swirl,tumble/Piatti effect etc. are weak band-aids that attempt to treat a symptom..not cure the problem. Sorta like putting pre-cats on top of main cats ..more money,more weight,more...
Mazdajim...I recall the Pat Ganal,Jimmy MacFarland stories heralding the "revolutionary new technology" in cylinder head design..and then there's the Coates Spherical rotary valve head and the Crower "STEAMOLINE" engine!
Hey ANT, Am I missing something? The Tesla Boundary Layer pump works great! I've built and run 'em. There's good info available. What's to be sore about?
LPG is much safer than gasoline(LPG has a very narrow range of flamability),classified as a clean-air fuel,liqufies at low pressure and is available at over 25,000 road acessible sites in the US. Any potential power loss due to LPGs lower calorific value may be countered by increased...
I'm waiting patiently to see some documented "six stroke" high rpm perforformance numbers/tests. Alan Cathcart said that M. Beare was quite crafty....But rod,let's hear about YOUR "great inovations".
In my opinion,the best approach to this project is to develop the engine and the fuel together. Without an optimized engine even the best fuel will produce mediocre results. I tried to convince Rudy Gunnerman...no luck...he's still trying to push a rope!
100% Methanol=200% of gasoline jetting....100% Ethanol=170% of gasoline jetting. Jetting meaning ALL fuel metering like idle,main and accelerator pump..or fuel injection map.
MPFI is MULTI-POINT FUEL INJECTION(Note that CART V8s inject alcohol into the air horns,not the ports). TBI is THROTTLE BODY INJECTION. These systems are really only PRESSURIZED CARBURATION.By actual definition,FUEL INJECTION is the introduction of fuel DIRECTLY into the cylinder/chamber. Happy...
