    "Inventing" a "New Multi-Fuel Engine"

    Reading up on the forums will present to you that the military runs diesels day in and day out on JP8. (Close to Kerosene/Jet A) ;)

    "Inventing" a "New Multi-Fuel Engine"

    So why not just use the LDT/LDS, or as an upgrade a 5.9 Cummins with a p-pump if more power/speed is your goal? And enlarging the nozzle will only increase flow while decreasing injection length for the same pressure. The FDC is often bypassed in the multifuel as that's not what gives the...

    "Inventing" a "New Multi-Fuel Engine"

    You'll need to completely change the injector placement in that head design. It's a 90* setup with a even spray pattern. This would also effect the intake/exhaust runners. Let me step you back a bit. What are you trying to gain exactly? The ability to run what as a fuel? If it's...

    "Inventing" a "New Multi-Fuel Engine"

    Problem is, the off the shelf casting isn't going to have the proper injector angle (and the piston needs to be changed as well). You'd need to start with a billet blank and start from scratch. A heaping of cost involved in that. And you'd probably want the head to be iron, not aluminum. As...

    "Inventing" a "New Multi-Fuel Engine"

    That modular design looks like it'd be handy to build something like this. I wonder if they could sell an engine that isn't meant for marine use? (EPA) The stumbling blocks will be the need for them to form a new head casting, new piston design, and change the fuel injection system...

    New pistons, head, injectors. And no on full time boost.

    "Inventing" a "New Multi-Fuel Engine"

    I have merged your thread. You're missing a lot of things. Static CR is the key thing. You can't run the engine under boost at idle all the time. Second, the swirl design in the piston bowls are missing, along with the improper injector nozzle, angle, and pattern. A p-pump'ed 12v Cummins...
