Our problem is there really isn't any good base for this engine. As I mentioned before, the smallest diesel we have found is 219cc.

I spoke to one of the teams who had a diesel in the competition last year and one of the things they wanted to add was something to warm the fuel. Do you think there is much advantage between heating the diesel vs the air? Last year the competition was in Houston so it was not a problem but next year it will be in Detroit in May so it may be decently cold.

How does Mazda's lower compression centralize the ignition?
