actually, not in this thread am i stirring the pot. i am interested in other conversions and am quite uniformed since i mostly stick with Toyota engines.
after reading some of your other threads i realised you had a running conversion completed which is nice to know... MANY people come on these forums with little more than some book knowledge. to me that is a waste since real life and book knowledge doesn't always go hand in hand... as i am sure you know.
are you directing your knowledge of indiret vs direct just on the izusu engine experience or a broader range? in my experience with the Toyota engines i have found the opposite to be true... i can only go on my personal experience. (oh and that rattle box IDI 7.3 powersmoke...which BTW gave excellent fuel milage)
why did the 2nd generation go indirect when they intercooled it, to me this sounds like a step backwards in design.
understood about the industrial and the automotive BS figures. interesting to call it "smaller hp"... couldn't understand the term.
yes, the 1HZ is anemic in performance till turbo'd, then it comes alive.
your fuel figures are incorrect when compared to what Canadians are getting with their engines. mind you that might be due to longer stretches of highway or driving habits...
your contributions are appreciated but i do question much of what i read. i take little at face value.
