My 1991 Talon TSi Compound Turbo AWD

I always come away amazed at what you create.
It's one of the main things that keeps me coming back to Ecomodder.

Do you have any ideas rendered out on the look of the car when you finish the motor work ?

Thanks for the kind words.

I have one in my mind but not anything on paper. I wish I was artistic enough to draw something up.

I added a Ecomodder link to my Camaro build. I forgot to when I first put it up. I'll make sure to add it to the new video explaining the lean-burn system.

You've got the skills and the interesting projects to probably become a full-time YouTuber, if you want to. I'll subscribe.

So, what's the drawback of a 70-mpg, 1400 hp vehicle? High emissions? Strange fuel required? Poor durability? I'm just wondering why it's not done by everybody.

Thanks' and please Subscribe and Like, much appreciated.

The draw backs in today's world are you're not supposed to mess with factory emissions. Thanks for bringing up a key point I keep forgetting to mention. Since the car is a 1971 Camaro the only emission device is a PCV valve. lol This helps me a ton because it's pretty much exempt.

Poor durability will be one of the issues based on the high HP from a 2.0L. When it comes to FE there aren't issues so far with the pre-chamber and lean burn.

Another reason people wouldn't like car is drivability. When the car goes into high lean-burn it feels like the engine is not right. It lays over until you get it out of the lean-burn hole.

One other major drawback is I have two sets of cams one set is for FE and the other for HP. On the Camaro this will be very easy to swap because I will have easy access to the cam belt and can change them in less than an hour. On the Talon it's a pain and takes me about three hours. I also have two sets of lifters one set is for FE and the other HP. The HP ones are just stock lifters the FE lifters are a custom set that one of the intake valves has a built-in bleed valve that delays the opening event and also opens only halfway to promote swirl.

Next year's FE test will be done during the Summer on a perfect road with hardly any wind. I'm setting up perfect conditions that can get 8 miles more mpg. Another major factor to produce great numbers.

Thanks again more videos will be coming even though I suck at it.

EDIT: Also, I forgot mention it will have a set of FE wheels/tires and a set of racing wheels/tires. When running the FE wheels/tires it will have lower wheel opening skirts.

Posted my new YouTube video of my waste solvent setup.
I also put a link to Ecomodder in the description.

I'm will have another video later this week showing a slow-motion vid of the pre-chamber shooting out its turbulent jet

Some more video of the Pre-Chamber flame.

Sorry guys it's been a while since my last post. Work has been taking up most of my spare time. Can't wait to retire in a few years so all my spare time can go into finish building the Camaro.

I ran across this a while back and wanted to share it.

What's weird is every single one of these modification's I did to my Talon engine back in 2014 and added a few others that weren't mentioned.

My newest data I will be logging is combustion pressure sensors. This is extremely expensive but will give me new data I need.

This Summer all my work has been focus on combustion flame speed at WOT using GEM fuel (Gasoline/Ethanol/Methanol) with Nitrous while running Lean-Burn. The Nitrous is just a small amount only 300PPH. The nitrous increases flame speed so I can run the initial timing closer to TDC. The GEM fuel has amazing anti knock characteristics but a very poor slow flame speed. It has a faster flame speed then E98 Ethanol but still not as fast as Gasoline. With Nitrous the flame speed is equal to Gasoline with great anti-knock.

Now the kicker is from my data logs and a G meter accelerometer "Dragy" it is .5 seconds faster in the 1/8th mile and the AF runs 2 points leaner using the same amount of fuel. I also conducted test with VP C16 petrol and the results were similar.

Anyway, I apologies for not getting this update sooner.
Thanks for all that follow this crazy thread.

Hi pgfpro, for your FE version tune, have you, or anyone else, looked into using water instead of fuel, every second power stroke, as the water turns to steam.

David Vizard mentions it in a youtube video called
Worlds cheapest and MOST EFFECTIVE octane booster
jump to the 26:00 minute mark,
(as this is my first post I'm not allowed to post links)

in that video people also comment about Brian Crower (cams) 6 stroke engine which had a Steam Stroke.

Dean,

Thanks so much for your post. Just finished watching it and there is lots of great information in it. I'm going to take some of this info and apply it to my program. On my nitrous race engines that I have built and including the Talon engine I have used some of Davids info and have had great success. I didn't know he had a YouTube channel so thanks again.

I am using water-injection for the performance side of my Talon build by adding water via to my GEM fuel. The interesting thing is when using ice cold water in my intercooler system the car has slight knock when running high boost. It likes the water to be around 60*F and then I can run boost at 45psi with a 300 shot of N2O with zero knock. David's video has my brain blown with lots of things I will be testing including running a second power stroke with water only. Plus I will also be working on a new engine that will not run a radiator and utilize water injection to control engine temperature.

I'm very excited to get to work on this. Thanks again!!!!!!
