i have a bunch of experience with the vw turbo diesel and non turbo diesel motors. for the indirect injection diesels, they all use a bosch injection pump that has 1 12v solenoid which is energized by the ignition key to to turn the fuel on. if you installed a kill switch inline with this wire, you would be able to instantly turn the fuel on or off.

the only problem is that diesels don't benefit from kill switches very much. at idle they barely consume any fuel at all. you might save a gallon over the time of a year. its just not worth it. they might run at 40:1 air-fuel ratio when idling.

i actually have a complete vw turbo diesel motor sitting in my garage. i bought it a few years ago and had planned on doing a motor swap with my stratus should the stock stratus engine or transmission ever go south.
i have done a few swaps with vw stuff over the years so it isn't new to me.


as for my own ideas. i want to try my hand at making a dirt cheap efie. i also want to try expirementing with different fuel injectors. some injectors spray out gasoline in a cone pattern. some spray it out in 2, or even 4 streams. id like to play around with that.
