Default Hydrogen xr6t motor

Saw this at a conference in Melb this week, being done by one of the uni's.

Wouldn't tell me any specifics about consumption or boost figures other than they are at comparable power levels.

Thought it just might be of interest to some people here so throwing photos up. It's essentially stock with new pistons to run ~12.5:1 compression.










Also there was something they are about to start some work on. It will be using standard petrol injection, however it will be hydrogen ignition. Petrol is injected as usual, however a small amount of hydrogen is injected into the spark plug cap (shown in photo) and then ignited, which in turn ignites the petrol. They weren't overly forthcoming with large chunks of information on their expectations but sounds interesting.







I asked them if they had tested the limits but alas no the softies aren't interested in pushing limits at this stage. :
