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.

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 http://www.megasquirt.info/ By -- Pub: http://www.slowfood.fr/france Philippe Vessaire Ò¿Ó¬ |
