Boost a STD or CX. same goal, less cold.

Some fuel systems are destroyed by biodiesel. Pumps become clogged, etc. Talk to several people who have done the conversion on your make car first, please.

Also, I did not know anything from the 80's or 90's Civics came diesel... details pls!!11

i dont have any of the details, i was watching dirty jobs with mike rowe on tv and they were doing something about a bio deasil truck, in the end it came out to about 55 cents a gallon and it got like 45 mpg. on boost it would probably get about 30, but 30 mpg on a boosted car that is decent quick as a daily driver (or maybe even just becuase ive never seen anybody do it and i want it as my project car. as far as i know, im the only one who has thought of it). i think it would be badass. i would probably need the motor mounts. i have a friend who welds aluminum so i can probably get away with custom mounts and linkages if there isn't an oem solution to it. but what i want to know is, is it possible? i know of a couple importers for jdm motors (nipponmotors.com) but i can't seem to find any for UK spec engines. as far as i know there isn't a turbo deasil jdm motor. i would really prefer a 1.5 - 1.7, but i wouldn't mind a different size. hopefully stick to a d series. if its a d series i would just bolt on an ef cable si tranny and hope the rest of the mounts work. that covers shift linkages too. it would probably be cheaper to make an adapter plate from the tranny to the motor if it doesn't fit than completely make new mounts if i had to use the turbo deasil tranny. so i could still use stock axles and motor mounts, shift linkages (all the bitch ---- about an ef). so hows it sound? if anybody finds something on this motor that seems worthwhile, post it up.

So there is no Honduh diesel of that year? Completely gay.

Boost does not decrease diesel efficiency, since you don't need to run them rich. Too much fuel is what melts a diesel down... but you won't hurt one boosting 30 psi on a stock non-turbo pump + injectors.

Sticking a clockwise rotating engine to a counterclockwise rotating Honduh transmission is not the way to go FTW.

not to mention the changes needed to the fuel system. Diesel uses HIGH pressure puimps and lines.. you'd have to change all those.

JonDouglas

I don't have an extensive knowledge of diesels but, I don't think this necessarily true. They do run extremely high fuel pressures but I believe that those pressures are only present after the injector pump wich is usually located on the engine itself.

Could be wrong.

I would us a HF tranny instead, turbo diesels make TORQUE and lots of it.

AgentMurdoc

haha my dad's turbo diesel piece of ---- wagon owns. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr.... no psssh for him though.

gttiross

as far as im away ive never seen a honda turbo diesel over here ( UK )

unless some of the new 2005/2006 models came with them?

certainly never in an EF!

RotaryGeek

i know they never came in an ef, but i remember seeing a post about a turbo deasil honda on here a while ago. i searched but couldn't find it. i was pretty sure it was from the UK but i could be wrong. someone has to know where it is so i can try to find an importer. a turbo deasil ef hatch is badass
