In conclusion:
1. Toyota 1.4 D4-D should be able to turn a prop at 2400-3000,
WITHOUT needing a PSRU.

But with low power: around 47kW/65HP at 2500 and near 110kg with all
accessories, water and oil.
On the optimistic side, you may have 75HP at 3000 rpm.

I thnik it's better to built a PSRU and turn the propeller at 2200rpm
for 3500 engine rpm. You add 5-10kg and get 15-20HP


3. If it's a single seat LSA, the weight penalty is not as much of an
issue.
4. Throttled back to 2400rpm, I would think the 1.4 D4-D would cruise
around all day @ (under) 2 GPH ...just a guess. g


I think 4GPH would be more real. I consider 3,5 to 4 GPH for 65HP.
I take 180g/h/HP for fuel burn (or 395lb/h/HP)



5. Turbo cruise would mean Sport Pilot/LSA flights @ 8k-10k ft might
see 140-150 kts (GPS) ground speeds. ...just a guess. g

True, I like turbo for that... Consider that automotive turbo may stall
earlier than airplane ones.

We have some small diesel in Europe, but few are realy light and
reliable.

Philippe,
With that weight at 110 kg or 242 lbs might be over my weight limit.
Could that engine that you have in your car be chipped up to increase
the HP? What model car is it?
Thanks,
Bill

The car: corolla (55-60 mpg car)
the engine: 1364cm³ 90HP@3800rpm

try http://www.toyota.co.uk
and read all about the Yaris (Echo) and Corolla and the D-4D engines.
Toyota engine name: 1NDTV

Note: the torque decrease slitly after 3000rpm, max value is 190Nm flat
from 1800rpm to 3000rpm.

I think you may tune up to 105-110HP.
read he http://www.tuningbox.com/ for Corolla 1.4 D4D

You may cut out come cast fittings and save little weight. With 2
gallons for cooling fluid, one radiator and hoses, you add 14-15lbs.

If you need to save more weight, you may consider less fuel.



I am thinking about a basic engine ECU with a sychronised monostable,
4 sensors and 4 OR gates.
It is too simple, a manifold pressure correction is required as fuel
injection time (and flow) correction.

A friend think about megasquirt ECU
