Ok so curiosity has gotten the best of me, so I figured I would make a thread to hopefully shed some light on my questions.
I've been wondering if the crossplane technology used in the Yamaha YZF R1 would translate into a TDI engine.
Wondering with that firing pattern how it would work with the Turbo setup and if there would be any positives or negative advantages to a setup like this.
I'm assuming that since there isn't a spark that needs to be timed exactly with this crank it would make things somewhat easier to get the timing correct for getting this to work in a diesel.
Would really like to hear some thoughts and opinions on the subject. Hell even if you think it's way in left field post it up. I wanna know what people think of this technology and how it translates for diesels.
Where I'm getting these questions from.
