frank thanks for that thread link, didn't catch it when i did my initial search.

To answer your question yes im happy to do all this work for a 20% gain. I am mostly doing it to see what happens, im in it for the engineering challenge so i dont mind if its not a great increase in FE. I would like to still be able to run my car after trying it though so im not ready to do anything completely crazy.

The motor cycle engine idea is great and probably the better way to go for cost/effort/efficiency. But the reason im trying this is to see what i can do with what i have.
