Usually somewhere between 50 and 60 thousand dollars, roughly. For the engine only, not including clutch, rearend, etc. Aluminum parts are expensive.

What tools or materials do you need to make a CO2 dragster?

Band saw, sand paper, and a Drill that's pretty much it


Why in petrol engine spark plug is used but not in diesel engine?

Diesel engines run much higher compression than petrol engines. The higher compression makes the air in the cylinder so hot that the fuel self ignites. A petrol engine doesn't get warm enough for self ignition, so you have to add a spark from the spark plug to ignite the fuel.


How much petrol is used by a car engine when its on but car is not moving?

Sorry but this has way too many unknowns to answer properly. (Engine size, engine temperature, idle or throttled, air conditioning, charged battery, headlights) A few minor trends though can be specified. While an engine is cold, more fuel will be consumed to bring the engine up to temperature. Most modern automobile engines have been designed so lean that when added mechanical loads are engaged like air conditioning, and battery charging; more fuel is consumed to compensate. Older, typically carbuerated engines were set to consume enough fuel at idle to not stall the engine with all mechanical loads engaged.


How much does it cost to build a windmill?

It Takes about $45,000 to build and get it running.


Are diesel engines more polluted than steam engines?

Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.

How much fuel does a Top Fuel Dragster burn in one .250 mile run?

The engine will consume 22.75 gallons of fuel during warmup, burnout, staging, and the quarter-mile run., actual fuel economy is around 16gals per mile


How can a top fuel dragster burn so much fuel?

Top fuel dragsters have dual fuel pumps capable of pumping 77 gallons per minute. They use 22.75 gallons for warm-up, burn out, stagging and quarter mile run. They can burn this much best the fuel Nitro methane burns at a air/ratio of 1.7:1 air fuel ratio, and most run the engine richer (1.1-1.4:1) and use the extra fuel to help cool the motor. So they run around 1.1 lbs of air to 1 lb of fuel, in an 8500rpm, 500cuin. engine running 45lbs of boost


What the role of air displacement in engine?

It's just the complement to fuel displacement. How much air the engine takes in affects how much fuel it can burn.


What is the difference in bhp between petrol and diesel engines?

Both our internal combustion engines but the main difference is that a petrol engine uses spark plugs to ignite the fuel but a diesel engine has no spark plugs but instead uses compression to ignite the fuel. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline/petrol engine. Diesel engines get better fuel mileage, last longer, and have much more torque or pulling power than a petrol engine. The only disadvantage to a diesel is the fact that it is more costly to build than a gasoline engine.


Will your car explode if you use the wrong type of gas?

If you are asking if it will tear up engine then the answer is yes. As far as exploding not that I am aware of unless you feel a engine revving up so high on NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) or methanol that it throws a piston/rod through the engine. I have been told too much ethanol will break the fuel pump and I know if you put diesel in a gas engine it will foul out and quit. Now a methanol engine on a dragster can blow up if it breaks down during races so that part is true. It all comes down to what type of engine and what type of fuel you are talking about.


How much money for new fuel injector?

The price of a fuel injector is dependent upon the make and model of the engine. The fuel injector for an automobile engine will cost approximately $35.

No.


How much does it cost to build a hybrid engine?

I believe a fuel celled car costs relatively comparable to nearly a whopping 800,000 dollars so the cost to build a hybrid vehicle is highly probable to be somewhat around 60 to 200 thousand dollars.


What happens when an engine has too much fuel and not enough air?

the engine will run "rich" fouling spark plugs and causing bad fuel economy.


What is the purpose of the air flow sensor?

It determines the Mass of the Air Flowing into the engine. The engine computer must know how much air is flowing into the engine to determine how much fuel to inject into the cylinders to get the appropriate fuel-air mixture.
