Some of your math looks strange, I think you might be considering variables that shouldn't be considered. |
Hi Elhigh,
Thanks for stopping by you are correct the HGE model was fixed and was offered inexpensively through a surplus center for around 1,100 shipped to my door. They ended up selling out of them before I had the opportunity to act. My plan was to modify it for variable speed however after researching into it the cost and time involved would have not made it worth it. Essentially it made more sense to just go get the variable speed ASA or comparable engine as you suggested. That is exactly what I did and ended up getting it for under $1,750 brand new so I am pleased to this point with my decision and feel like I have a good engine selection now for achieving my goals.
I have determined how to eliminate all the belt accessories and utilize only electric options such as electric water pump and AC. I also went with the electric fuel pump model vs the mechanical.
I am currently working with a few companies on the hybrid design of the engine. I favor the ISG Integrated starter generator setup similar to what you would see in the Honda IMA sytem. However this may prove to costly of a setup over a simplified belt driven ISA Integrated starter alternator which I can implement for around $1,500. There are always trade offs when money is an issue to bad I could not win the lotto LOL :-)
Talk to you later,
