Thanks for the info. The Scania engines look awesome, but they are so huge! I'm going to contact them to see if they will tell me whether going from e100 to e85 will drop me to 26:1 or 24:1, or what. I've seen some production cars using 22:1 with diesel, so I'm sure I'd need more than that to get e85 to burn right. I'll also ask them if they make anything small.

Anyone know if there is a big difference between the gas/turbo/turbodiesel 1.0 daihatsu engines like were used in the sprint and metro? I wonder if the gas metro engine is sturdy enough for high pressure.
