It just shows that the hype and consumers limited knowledge about SVO is going to cause a lot of negative feedback to it. Mostly because no one put the effort into researching it and where it can be implemented safely. Sometimes... it takes $10,000 to learn. Plus people never take the time to read the owners manual.. I do believe the new CDI's have a little emblem on the gauge panel that does say DIESEL FUEL ONLY... should have been a hint eh?
rant off

Doubt it.. the pressures in a CRD are pretty high and would cause the fuel to polymerize... killing the injectors. Plus in a DI diesel a nailing injector will cause some nasty issues.... I've heard of pistons getting holes in them from fuel dribbling onto the hot aluminum
I do love lovecraft conversions for one reason..
once the engine is nuked... its a cheap parts car...
