A rear-mounted turbo takes more time to start generating boost, but due to the longer plumbing required to deliver the charged air to the intake there is more area to dissipate the heat developed during the compression. Anyway, have you ever considered to make an exhaust-driven air conditioner similar to the ones used nowadays in most modern airliners?
Trying solvents as fuel I would be kinda worried about lube oil contamination.
Which features do you already consider to upgrade if you eventually get an extra engine to mess with? Would you eventually consider to get an engine from another brand to swap into the Insight?
