I'll buy a crap engine just to run it on diesel.. PBJT still got that hpi pos?

imported_gremlin_390 · 01-31-2007, 07:33 PM

honestly, i would not even think about it... very dangerous sounding to me, and expensive. so if you do it just to destroy an old engine, then take cover behind something and wear goggles... rig up a string throttle like they do on mythbusters so you can rev it from the safe point (also saving a good radio from being destroyed). but expect the very worst when messing around with this stuff. make a video of it

man I'd love to have a diesel engine on my moped....maybe with a little turbo from a smart car

Noway!! diesel wont work, the air to fuel ratio in diesel engines is very high , and diesel engines don't use glow plugs to create an explosion they use compression to make the mixture explode!, and a simple glow engine cant handle that kinda pressure to make the mixture heat up to the needed temps,

dont waste your money!

sigh...fine...guess i'll have to take the engine from a smart car too

wow.i have an idea,how about using nitro fuel in a nitro engine?
or even better,buy a gas engine and use gas?
or,oh,oh wait....get into electric if you cant afford nitro!

I severly doubt that it would even fire. Gasoline by design is resistant to self ignition (ie needs a spark). Plus I don't think that there would be sufficient nitro content to cause the ignition (the gas mixture would mess it all up).

hmmm.. it won't work but yet ENYA has been making them for years. Somebody should send ENYA an email.

It may sound stupid, but try Google first and you be amazed what you can find.

I agree with Wizzle go gas if Nitro is too expensive less than a buck for 45mins of run time!
