John,
There has been a couple of issues with
Diesels in Australia and New Zealand,
Our American counterparts using variable supply efi systems are making up to 40 % fuel
efficiency gain, and here we are scratching to make a 5 % fuel
efficiency gain, The reason for this is that we have Mechanical fuel
injection systems on most of our diesels regardless of whether they are turbo or not.
The mechanical systems work like a
windmill,
the faster the engine revs the more diesel goes in and needs to be worked on in some cases to get a reduced fuel supply.
The vehicles or engines over the years that do
not make American Emission standards it seems have been shunted down
under, We can clean up the emissions and make more power as our
understanding stands at the moment.
In USA they
tend to purchase a vehicle every 2-5 years, if they are going to splash
out and put a hho gen on it's fairly new stuff, all EFI.
I have a few diesels with Mechanical systems all doing similar
results,however the Torque/power is incredible especially at low revs,they
are driving manuals like auto,s around town there is so much torque,not a lot of difference reported at highway speed.
I am getting customers buying for power gain reasons alone.
We are doing a lot of behind the scenes work on these issues, if it can be sorted
and applied to all vehicles we will deliver the tech support as part of
the sale, probably accompanied with a shopping list !!
There are a couple of guy's in
Adelaide that put after market turbos on there 1 hz toyota's,
they had to increase fuel flow to accomadate the turbo so we will have a working example soon hopefully.
