Hi guys,

Nakikita ko ito sa carshows eh, may nakapg try na ba sa inyo nito? Posible ba talaga?

All inputs are highly appreciated.

Oo naman, just expect that you will shell out a lot para maging talagang in good running condition sasakyan mo.

possible naman yan. madami lang papalitan na parts. pati mga gauge papalitan lahat.

of course

palit makina

Huh, kasi sabi nung nagtanong ako parang may ikakabit lang silang equipment tapos pwede nang gamitan ng diesel. Hindi lang ako nakapag tanong pa in details busy kasi sa pag-ikot ikot eh.

Yeah. That equipment is a new motor.

You can't run a gasoline engine on diesel. You can convert it to diesel by changing out the entire fuel system, welding the holes in the cylinder head shut, changing out the pistons for high compression ones (gasoline compression is usually 9:1 to 11:1. Diesel is ariound 22:1 if you don't have a turbo), changing the connecting rods for stronger ones to take the extra pressure, reinforcing the engine block, changing the camshaft grind, etcetera.

That kind of work on an engine will cost you more than the car is worth. To swap in a diesel engine, instead, will cost you some 100k pesos. To simply sell your car and buy a diesel car which already has the correct transmission, gauges and tank will cost even less.

huh?

equipment?!

iba ang compression ng gas engine sa diesel engine

hindi kakayanin ng engine block ng gas engine ang pressure ng diesel

hindi din kaya ng internals. ang liit ng mga piesa ng gas engine

iba din ang cylinderhead

baka kino-convert ng mahiwagang equipment yung diesel fuel to gasoline

magic!
