Diesel Snowmobile
 

I am currently attending the University at Buffalo and joined the SAE Clean Snowmobile Team. The team has put together a diesel snowmobile powered by a Briggs & Stratton / Daihatsu 31 hp diesel.

The photos of the engine may look a bit rough/ not tied down because we wanted to see if it ran after the summer of sitting.

If anyone has any information about tuning and what not it would be greatly appreciated.

Some of the objective are to redo the wiring harness and have the injection pump rebuilt. From there the plan is to port/polish the head, build new intake and exhaust manifolds and get a new turbo. Again if anyone had any information pertaining to this it would be greatly appreciated.

get custom injectors cut, and slap a bigger turbo on it...

By the way that thing is awesome, and since the name of it is 'Clean Snowmobile' then you might want to forget what i just said because i dont think it will be very :":clean:":

thats cool! how much does the new engine weigh compaired to the old? :U:

heck yeah i would run a diesel in mine it wouldnt be very clean, big old hood stack :rocking:

hmmm. i assume theres a turbo on it, but i cant for the life of me find it... that would be a good place to start... bigger fuel lines/pump/injectors.... timing?

sweeeeeeeeet:rocking:
