Diesel Fuel Conversion

[Tony de Wonderful]

For a skyline

Put a diesel motor in it.

Diesel... great idea!

6.0lt ford f250 v8 rebuilt with twin compound turbo chargers..

Not so fuel efficient?

9.5:1 compression+diesel=win

Conversion is easy, do it. Period.

That is all...

We all know that the best oil around is the used oil from maccas it burns cleaner in the engine. And smells great!

Yeah, why wouldnt it be?

spot on.

[Tony de Wonderful]

Here's a rough guide:

1) Disconnect coil pack loom.

2) Cut throttle cable and tie off so throttle is always open.

3) Drill and tap the middle of the throttle body and send fuel line there.

4) Install a butterfly valve on fuel line and send throttle cable there from the pedal.

5) Fill with diesel

6) Drive

call me crazy...

the 4pot out of the patrol - decent power,torque for days and I hve been in one at 160+ kmh. it had more in it. now drop that into a R33,R32 shell with a fair bit less weight and enjoy. it won't be a drag/circuit weapon but it would generate a lot of 'WTF was that' as it went past at a decent speed.

likewise for a RD28 set up properly with a silly hairdryer hanging off it. . A lot of the R series cars HAD a diesel option in japan.

as a marker, look at the golf and the euro deisels. the opel astra 1.9T - 1000km /tank (50lt) and stupid acceleration when the ECU is flashed.

buy a rd28 hr31 halfcut

Dont listen to these f**kwits, they just want you to ask why your motors blown after putting diesel in it.

The only way you could do a diesel conversion is by putting a diesel motor in it.

The car will be slow as shit and will have costed a packet to build.

There are no easy to transplant diesel motors that will resemble the performance of a modern european diesel, like a TDI golf or something.... So yeah, dont bother.

This is just about the only real way to do it, but yeah slow as and really not worth doing. Its an engine conversion and will result in a car slower than your mums corolla.

I think thats the end of the thread guys, you really should know better than to carry on the way you did. There is plenty of evidence that less knowledgable people have followed such garbage and cost themselves thousands in repair costs.

Please lock.

A 2009 (I think) golf parked next to me as i was walking to the bus stop today. I thought it was a truck at first. The euro's still haven't solved the "sounds like a truck" problem of diesels yet. If that's an issue to you anyway.

Because obviously this is a serious thread and not some one taking the piss and the OP actually has a degree in engineering and is going to convert his engine to properly work on diesel.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

on a serious note, in Thailand there's a Diesel Evo 3, still in 4WD using some diesel motor... youtube it, it lights up tyres quite well off the mark!

[blk94r33]

Er, no. But on a serious note, diesel requires higher compression than petrol, ie 18:1 , RB25DET has around 9.5:1, meaning you can run lots of boost, no complications. Win.

Here's a rough guide:

1) Disconnect coil pack loom.

2) Cut throttle cable and tie off so throttle is always open.

3) Drill and tap the middle of the throttle body and send fuel line there.

4) Install a butterfly valve on fuel line and send throttle cable there from the pedal.

5) Fill with diesel

6) Drive

Lol. Win.

7. Disconnect waste-gate. Low compression will require higher air flow.

That's how I read it?

And the search function will never pick the thread back up again in future? Noone will ever read it again?

Maybe OP was taking the piss, maybe he wasnt, but hes not the only person that will read this thread.

Like the bloke in the US that read a thread exactly like this about flushing his engine. Moron went and drained the oil then started it with the garden hose in the filler hole to flush it out. Most dickheads found it amusing, but some adventurous idiot who should never have worked on his own car tried to do a lil DIY and got stung.

The read tone in your own post makes it sound like your being serious, if I were as smart as you I might have even believed you.

Dude what do you want from me? You really think i'm going to give two shits about some one doing exactly what I said? Just proves how stupid and ignorant most of the human race is and it's becuase of retards like that the human race isn't a few hundred years more technologically advanced.

I have no sympathy for the unitelligent and if you knew me personally you would realise trying to insult my intelligence with that last comment is a foolish thing to do.
