With regards to the modification mentioned earlier in this thread, I too lack any specialist knowledge on the subject but at the end of the day: electricity is electricity (and the same with air, vacuum, fuel, etc.) - just because it wasn't designed for the job doesn't mean it can't be used, provided the design specifications (i.e. voltage, pressure, etc.) aren't exceeded. I too back the notion that it would be a cool experiment  |
Thank you for that - it is really helpful.
The replacement (for a B21a) motor is actually a B230e, but I’m planning to convert it to a B230a using the manifold and Pierburg carburettor from the RB. The carburettor will be much simpler than K-Jetronic (the aim being to extend the RB’s life by a decade or so rather than enhance performance).
I need to do a bit of thinking about a control system because I don’t think the starter immobiliser idea will work (as I explained above). I think the anti-dieseling solenoid idea might be sound.
