a variable ratio V-drive "CVT"; in Canada we call that a snowmobile trany
I like the idea of a variable output charge compressor, and a CVT is possible, but i can't say as i understand what the Studebaker setup is.

Honestly I think the easiest way to test my thoery that Miller cycle and Atkinson cycle are nearly the same engine is going to be to stick a dairy blower on the front of a Prius engine and see if it produces 140hp.

Where can I find a cheap Prius with dead batteries and a giant rubber band?
