Re: [Biofuel] replacement diesel engine
Dear Al, Mazda 626's actually came out as diesels for awhile... 86-91 from memory I think. As for whacking a diesel engine INTO a car... theres a fair bit of work involved. On the older engines its not that big of a deal, but on newer cars its a real pain, not to meantion changing trans, tailshatfs, etc. Hope it helps Michael - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 5:41 AM Subject: [Biofuel] replacement diesel engine Hi, There has been some talk on this list a while back about small cubic image replacement engine for American cars, but I was wondering does anyone make them for foreign cars?

Re: [Biofuel] replacement diesel engine
I drive an 89 Mazda 626 super charged 2 litre diesel. To put one of these engines into another 626 petrol car even would be one of the labours of Hercules, it fills the compartment, also an inter cooler, (why on a supercharger I do not know, and has a diesel computer box under the dash, any number of sensors and extra functions on the instrument panel. Get real, the thing only cost $3500, but partly because as a rare imported car there are no parts/ tune-up spec manuals etc. available locally and no-one wants to nut all that out themselves. If anybody knows where I can access that stuff I would appreciate the information. - Original Message - From: Michael Olivo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 9:40 AM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] replacement diesel engine Dear Al, Mazda 626's actually came out as diesels for awhile... 86-91 from memory I think.

Re: [Biofuel] replacement diesel engine
I may still have a manual (I will look). The maintenance is no big issue, the Diesel injector maintenance shop had no problems maintaining the pump injectors. The main 'problem' I had was with the timing belt light: I was never able to figure out how to reset it after the belt was changed. (Apparently there is a plug near the fuse box that you change around, that resets it, but I only found out after I had sold the car.) regards Doug On Mon, 27 Sep 2004 09:19 pm, George Smiley wrote: I drive an 89 Mazda 626 super charged 2 litre diesel.

Re: [Biofuel] replacement diesel engine
Hi, Mazda make a 626 diesel (I had a 1992 one). They are interesting because they use a Brown-Boveri Supercharger. This unit uses gas velocity to charge the cylinder with air, was a really tractable engine, even if the power drops off quickly when the revs go up. They were economical too. I now drive a 405SRDT Peugeot: great car, but totally different to the Mazda 626. Economy about the same, but the Pug is faster point to point, because of its incredible handling. (I am not sure if Peugeots are imported into Canada or US??) You are missing out on a fantastic range of cars. I recently hired a 307 Peugeot diesel in France. We did 3500 Km in 4 weeks, I filled the tank 4 times (about 250L fuel). They perform just like a petrol car, completely different to the older mechanical injection system of the 405. regards Doug (You may be able to buy a 626 front cut ex-Japan ?)

Re: [Biofuel] replacement diesel engine
Hi AL; I remember one post somewhere that mentioned that someone was dropping a Mercedes 300D engine into a Toyota pick up truck. Seems to me it said it was basically plug and play as all the mounts ect were in the right place. Maybe someone else will remember this better than I and be able to give references. Now THAT would be a great collection truck for WVO, no ?
