im trying to design a fuel system capable of delivering vaporized fuel (weight is a HUGE factor). my 2 options that i see so far are using a regular fuel pump then heating fuel OR, using the impeller side of a turbocharger to deliver pre-vaporized fuel. the problem with the turbocharger way that I can foresee at this point is EGT. The engine wont be running for too long but temps will be high. if i have something like a 10 or 15 sec burn is there any way i could get around having an active lubrication system on the turbo? water cooling is also out of the questing...

 

What do you mean by vaporized fuel? Why is atomized fuel not good enough? Why can't you use an oil/water cooled turbo? What are you going to use this fuel system for?

This sounds like a terrible idea if you're planning on using this fuel system on a car. Gas is injected as a diffuse atomized cloud already anyway.

Sorry i didn't specify, the fuel system is not going in a car nor is it going on a forced induction engine. It wont have any air to cool an oil cooler and i'd like to make it as little weight as possible. Engine burn wont last too long but as it sits at this point im not sure a water cooled turbo could handle even 15 sec of this...
