the first site I checked out claim's that it is more powerfull than a gasoline engine for a combination of reasons, according to the writeup it burns hotter, has a significant amount of effeciency gain, but getting the mixture just right is important. According to the writeup it sounds like the same kinda stuff people go through installing a 15-16 psi turbo on NA enginesOriginally Posted by Gizmokid2005
without mods or an intercooler you'd be stuck at 8psi.
They recomend using a water/methenol injection setup to cool off the egt rather than retarding the timing, that's why you gotta have ceramic coatings and stainless valves and stainless exhaust so it doesn't rust everything. So you'd have to be going after it with the same fervur as boosting an NA for more power, except your going for cleaner cheaper fuel. With the water injection, you are effectively replacing space inside the chamber, so it's like having a variable compression ratio that also acts as a bigger heatsink :P
