if i bought a used UK spec turbo deisel with ecu, wiring harnes, and converted a ef hatch to deisel, using a si tranny. i could convert it to run on used food oil. then up the boost to like 15 pounds and have a really cheap gas sipper that isnt really slow. and it smells good. do you think it would work? i know i would have to change out the fuel pump and fuel lines, and buy the conversion kit to actually convert the used oill.

use the turbo and through in a dohc

why would you convert? unless you plan to spend wayy too much, or can get the oil free/cheap...

You can also just brew biodiesel from the used oil, no conversion needed then.

con

any links/ info on that engine?

yea their was an entire episode on trucks of how to brew biodiesel. it comes out to be 30 cents cheaper then regular diesel, but i say ---- that i put farming diesel into my truck.

More info on this engine please? As far as I can tell, this was in the 2002 models, and was the same engine as used in some of the Vauxhuals and Citroens. Is it a direct bolt up, or do you need the tranny too?

I'd love to import one of these engines to the US, and then pull a "Banks" on it.

then they are doing it wrong/poorly. it should only cost less than $.70 a gallon.
