  Paul,

   I know this is a little off, but I would ask anyway and maybe apologize
   later..hahaha!

   Is it possible?

   I just wanna here your opinion

   Dom

   Probably.

  I have another similar question: has anyone ever mixed a bit of diesel
  with the gas?
  When I flew model helicopters we used methanol mixed with as much
  20% nitro methane. The problem with the nitro is almost explosive
 combustion.
  We started mixing gasoline with the fuel at up to about 10%. This cooled
  the combustion and allowed for a more controlled burn and smoother power.
  Diesel fuel has more BTU per lb than gas, but a higher vapor point.
  If you mixed say 10% diesel with the gas, it should lower exhaust
  temps, and may lubricate the apex seals without the oil being added
  to the fuel.

  Just a thought.

  Paul,

  Did you look at the link Mark LaPierre posted?  With all you
  expertise with rotaries, do you think that a person can build a 13b
  turbo with 200 rear wheel HP and 600 ft lbs torque at rear wheels.
  If so, I know what's going in my Suburban and truck.

  You have to look at "just the facts Ma'am". That was dynoed in 2nd gear.
 That
 is where the 600 lb/ft torque came from. No magic. It is like all
 statisticians; you can use the information in a manner that suits your
 needs.
 Take three statisticians and give them one set of information and you will
 get
 three different results depending on their personal motivations. Follow the
 money in this case.

Of course, Dale.  2nd gear.  Guess I just skimmed the article.  I couldn't
believe it could make 600 fp at 6000rpm  no matter what turbo it had, but
if it could I was going to put it in everything I drive.
