I stumbled upon this site and got to thinking...
Would it be possible to install some kind of high pressure fuel injector system in a Delica?
I do not know what type of injection system is currently in the L400. If the fuel was even closer to atomization/vaporization, it would do all kinds of great things.
Does anyone know what it would take to install a system like this on our non-computer operated, old school diesels?

Re: High pressure fuel injectors
L300/L400's have a low-pressure injection pump that operates mechanically.
Changing the system to a high pressure injection system would be quite the undertaking.
I prefer the low psi/mech IP for these reasons :
-easy to work on
-multiple grades of diesel/oil/engine oil/veg oil/transmission/oil, etc... can be used and burned efficiently (IDI - indirect injection system)
-remove the battery, push start the van and drive as long as you want. The injection system being mechanical can still operate if your battery dies. Engine only need air/diesel to operate. A good failsafe.

-lower mpg/power compared to high PSI equivalent systems

Re: High pressure fuel injectors
well... according to the site you linked to... it would require a completely different engine, specifically a gasoline one...Does anyone know what it would take to install a system like this on our non-computer operated, old school diesels?
