Alternative fuels

Conversion and tuning of an existing 4-cylinder gasoline engine to an electronic engine management system for the utilization of different alternative fuels

Fast facts

About the project

A completely analog four-cylinder in-line engine was converted to digital technology so that it could be operated with a wide variety of fuels using an open-source injection system. To this end, the engine was restored and the compression increased, the exhaust system was fitted with a catalytic converter and the intake system was converted to intake manifold injection. A wide range of sensors and actuators were also integrated into the system.

The use of regenerative fuels enables a vehicle to achieve a very good environmental balance, and converting to an injection system that offers many features is also a great opportunity to implement your own ideas and conversions. Regenerative fuels are first and foremost liquids, followed by various gases. These fuels all have an almost perfect CO2 balance.
