I'm not sure you could have 300hp in any passenger sized diesel without boost... I mean they simply don't rev hard enough for their displacement. Unless you could modify one of those 350 chev diesels... However without the limits on detonation or lean-burning you could certainly do some interesting things.

By hydrous ethanol do you mean mixed with water?

Actually, how does water/alcohol injection work on a diesel when there is no extra fuel added through the pump (i.e. it all comes with the water/alky mixture)?

I have a plot cooking... Give me a few minutes to clear up exactly what my idea is, then a couple more to type it down...

*edit: Plot not feasible for my own testing. But... Mix ethanol and water into regular unleaded for low energy content buy high octane fuel?
