good for drag racing?

 

Very nice I need one of these motors for my pit cart.

 

that will be the swap of the future, wait and see. id be willing to bet it would crush anything available to date. to bad they added and egr system w/ cooler, that will most likely be a problematic learning experience for honda. other than that it looks great and it may even get me back into the honda scene one day

 

its been a long time coming...i'm sure honda will have it about as sorted-out as possible...

i'd love to swap in a diesel to my EF someday.. (crosses fingers that it bolts into a K engine bay/mounts)

 

i'm not sure how that dpf system is going to work without burning off.

 

I want to talk to Dan at Bullseye about getting the word"TURBOCHARGER" printed on my turbo, lol. Looks pretty cool.

 

I thought diesels don't have tb's

 

It's not for controlling the engine's speed, it creates a bit of vacuum to help draw EGR gases into the intake manifold.

 

The smaller diesel motors have been "testing" for a while now..

Ive read about different styles for a few years now, they need to release one already!

that and it closes partially when the engine burns off the dpf system to make it run hotter and increase the egt's

 

We will be building a new car this spring, and we will likely use the diesel block for this car. Chances are it will be a gas EFI/Turbo engine, but we like the more robust diesel block.

 

more than likely the "throttle body" is an anti surge valve for when you turn the engine off.

 

look at that intake port

Converge

 

someone would eventually slap on a gt45r and make 800lbs of torque

I don't know if you guys realize that there are many new honda diesel engines running in European cars. Even the new civic hatch that looks like the Type-R is running a diesel motor. I can take a few pics if you guys want me to. We as Americans are so behind when it comes to new vehicle technology.

americans are not behind. it's the emissions that won't let diesels in. our diesels have high sulfer in them and gives out too much CO2. even with cleaner low sulfer diesels, our california emission laws prohibits normal passenger cars with diesel engines from being sold here. thanks to the new CAFE laws and new diesel technology, diesels with urea filters are finally being sold to all 50 states. in europe, the laws are different, and where space is limited, about 50% of cars sold in 2007 are diesels. they don't have urea filters like the US bound cars meaning that they don't use animal urine to dampen the pollutants coming out of the exhaust.

 

so does this mean the 4 cylinder disel/j35 (l66) honda/chevy trade is void and null?

 

That trade agreement ended 2 years ago.

 

i wanna see that engine in a race car .. bwahaha!!

 

Hopefully we finally get a nice compact diesel in North America!

Wicked looking motor!! I want one

 

is it going to have a normal clutch drivetrain(with normal shifter and ect) or the padel shifter things? does anyone know?

 

blah, its going to get put in a RDX or something that no one wants to drive. It needs to come to the HONDA lineup not the Acura lineup. Everything cool gets released in the Acura lineup and the price is stupid. Diesel Element would be cool.

 

I would sign up for a turbo diesel Element.
