what kind of compression for running a nitro engine on diesel?
Nov 16, 2009 by Jessm | Posted in Dodge
with a carburetor, what kind of compression ratio would be needed to run out of the pump diesel fuel in an rc car nitro engine?
what dynamic compression ratio would be necessary, the way i see it the engine would most likely need a very high compression
The engine configuration you describe does not exist,....to wit: nitro fuel would turn a diesel into a bomb. No such thing as a carbureted diesel engine, a hobby style RC engine is so small, configuration in diesel would be a marvel of engineering miniaturization...

Thunder Tiger F-75S Diesel Engine Conversion
This is a Thunder Tiger F-75S RC glow four stroke engine I converted to diesel. It's running a Graupner 12x7 Super Nylon prop in the video at ...
Brodak/CS engine with Cox crank and Norvel piston and Liner
As mentioned several times, I really like the mechanical arrangement of the Brodak/CS engine. The CS stands for China Sang. They make engines under their own brand and they also offer the same engine under the Brodak badge. The stock engine is early technology, iron piston and steel liner. It also uses a standard glow plug and these elements conspire to make it a rugged, simple and reliable, mild mannered engine. The RC version runs well but suffers from the absence of a means to adjust the mixture at idle. So we have been modifying this engine quite extensively. First item was to replace the stock plug with either a stock, Norvel .074 plug, or a button taking a turbo plug. This alone can add from 1500 to 2000 RPM. Next was to install the dynamic bits of the Norvel .06 engine, either the early AAN style or their Revlite version. From there, we modified the intake port in the crank and the crankshaft from the round configuration to the more common, rectangular shape. All of these changes brought this great little engine alive. Stock, it would only do 12K on 25% Cool Power fuel and a 6 x 3 black Tornado prop. Modified, as seen here, www.youtube.com we top out at 19.9K. Idle is a little uncertain but here, www.youtube.com we have improved idle and acceleration. So naturally, we just had to dieselize this uprated version of the Brodak/CS and the result can be seen here www.youtube.com and we were mightily pleased with having a modern, light diesel engine for those special …
