A diesel engine still wastes two thirds of the energy potential. That you reuse oil does not change that fact. Combustion engines are extremely inefficient, not matter what recycling construction you put around that.



Less energy is used. But we are not talking refining, we are talking engine efficiency. Your topic is a completly different ball game.



Hit a soft spot, hm? Coming into this thread, flags waving, trumpets roaring and then complaining about according treatment? Hint, if you want to punch, better be prepared to suck up some pain in return.

My last energy bill was $14. Again you use more than I do.

And talking about the efficiency of a combustion engine has nothing to do with subject of how much energy is used between refined at the pump than recycled oil. Good try. Here's a hint. I build race cars. Just gonna go out on a limb and say you probably don't know 0.01% of what I know about a combustion engine or well anything really, about a car.

There's no pain to suck up. Once again you put your foot in your mouth from lack of knowledge.

That's a typo, right?

Bliss and Be: You should discuss kWh, not $ or euros. Energy prices tend vary...

true, any alternatives?

No typo - just need to finish some of the turbo piping, induction, and some of the wiring.

(warning - I'm posting a picture of my car on the internet. My trumpets are blazing!)

That's one hell of a race car you have there Bliss. I still fool around with 2 stroke engines

Hey Hasselhoff when are you going to paint it black and install KITT?

cute lil' turbos...



I'm soooo looking foward to a dyno vid.

Well I'm just an idiot and dump all my money into these things lol.

I actually just bought a black one and it's running! I usually don't do that but I got one hell of a deal. It's actually getting loaded up on transport tomorrow to ship to me. 5 day ship



Not quite KITT, but it's an anderson PMS (programmable on the fly, your own tunes, fuel curves, timings etc)



Here's an old video after the original owner just got the engine/car together. It's not tuned, obviously running very rich etc.

I'm gonna do a video of going through the drive through with it. I fully intend to drive it on the street a bit

Please, by all means, I am bowing to your expert knowledge. Enlighten me, what is the energy effiency of a regular combustion engine?

Doesn't matter, given the fact we don't have alternatives.

...and don't even consider mentioning the prius.
