How difficult is this engine for building, setup and tuning apppsed to the XUD i know you went for this as you fpund the XUD limiting for the power figuires you were achieving
Would love to be able to do something like this maybe bit too much for me as just learining more about the pumps atm and stuggling to get my head around turbos in depth lol
Keep up the awesome work pal

The basic concept is very much the same at the end of the day, but you certainly have to be much much more carefull with what your shoving in it, as its very easy to melt a piston / bore with DI if you get it wrong...injector spray angle / nozzle size is critical / one of the hardest parts to get right / get working well, the pump is just the same to build as an IDI pump, altho like ive been saying for a while, unless you have something rigged up to test run the pumps / get them working correctly, its really not ideal building them at home, as you end up with a very cocked up setup....
As with everythings its just time and paticiance, the engine has been in and out more times than most people fill there car will fuel, and I say that seriously, this engines only done about 1k miles, and has been out / in like 6-7 times now, but never worth giving up as you end up with something different / surprising, which i enjoy
