Thinking about this some more it seems to me that the way to really help a multifuel engine make more usable power without reducing compression ratio would be to use a Whipple/Paxton type supercharger rather than a turbo. This would increase torque and air flow at low rpms and eliminate...

I haven't seen a copy of that book in years and would love to HAVE a copy. Yep, the textbooks are the way to go but getting help from others who are also less enlightened doesn't confuse things too badly IMO. I seriously doubt anyone is trying to mislead and everyone should take everything...

If the last part of your response was meant for me, that's precisely what I've been doing -- reading up the various threads which mention "hypercycle". I'll go back to my knitting and reading now but I do try to not ask questions which are easily answered. That said, have you noticed how large...

Just right amount of information and the critical piece I was missing -- the fuel density compensator. The cupped pistons I was aware of. Cummins marine engines have deep cups and will tolerate plenty of alternate fuels such as WMO and jet fuel. As the fuel density gets lighter various fuels'...

I found 68 odd hits just searching for "hypercycle" using the SS search engine. I've got my chores cut out for me. Didn't have any idea what the devil I should be looking for. Still very new to SS and MVs in general (not counting 30 years of Land Rovers). THANKS!!

high output LDT 465 Why would lowering the compression slightly, installing studs for the mains, changing to a larger waste gated turbo, maybe getting Carillo or somebody to make custom rods, and similar mods to an LDT change it from a multifuel engine?? Why can these engines burn multiple...
