A really good read
I agree. Amazing! :shock:
very interesting .... read page 95 .....
" our rabbit diesel engine was developed from the 1.5 litre spark ignition engine .
theoretical studies showed that this robust power plant is capable of sustaining much strain .
our theoretical findings where confirmed by the results of another research project in the course of which the basic power plant was brought up to 160bhp by means of exhaust gas turbo charging " .
i would be very interested in see what they used to reach 160 hp , and what mods they did to the pump .
