Ok, so this isnt diesel..
But i have to share the excitement with you guys. i just rebuilt and installed new high compression pistons into my honda engine. its running at 13:1 compression right now on 92 octane. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/Cervan/?action=view¤t=Video019.flv. I would post this elsewhere but really i post nowhere else on this forum except for in this section.

Cool.
 Looks like it's pretty peppy. I don't have my sea legs yet, so your videos are little shaky for me. Maybe you should strap the phone to your head with a headband or borrow a video cam with a gyroscope.

Just don't slide it into a tree, that little honda wouldn't fare as well in such a battle as your 240D did

Yeah its 13:1 comp its really really high, but its soooo much fun the exhaust has a nice growl to it because of the high comp. Lol, this transmission is so high geared, im shooting for 55mpg with a 0-60 of under 5 seconds.

WOW! 13:1?!? How they heck do you keep it from pinging itself to death? 92 octane doesn't seem high enough for that kind of compression...
