With the high price of fuel in the market today, motorists now consider fuel economy as a vital component in their everyday driving. Most of them think that if their cars have fuel-efficient engines, then they can reduce their car's fuel consumption by significant proportions. Thus, it is no wonder why many of these drivers contemplate about getting a diesel engine instead of a gasoline-powered one. Others who may have been driving a gasoline engine from the start and want to switch engines have tried exploring the possibility of switching their current engine to a diesel-powered one. Now this is no easy feat. Changing car engine types is not as simple as changing one's shirt.

While it is definitely possible to change from gas to diesel, the process is impractical. Because gas and diesel engines are very different from one another, there is sure to be a lot of parts that need to be adjusted. Gas to diesel conversion entails not one part to be altered; in fact, the process would affect the whole mechanical set-up of the vehicle. The most important change would have to involve the difference between the engines' compression ratios. Diesel engines, you see, need a higher compression ratio compared to a gasoline engine. This is because diesel uses heat of compressed air to ignite the fuel. A gas engine, on the other, has spark plugs to do the trick. To solve this problem, you would have to install longer crankshafts in place of the shorter ones in a gas engine. This is more complicated that it looks because there are no ready-made crankshafts for all engines. Therefore, depending on the availability of crankshafts for your car model, you may have to have yours custom-made.

The second drawback is with regards to the fuel path. In gasoline engines, the fuel is injected into an intake manifold and then led into the combustion chamber for ignition. In the case of diesel engines, though, the fuel is directly injected into a pre-chamber where actual combustion takes place. In short, diesel engines have longer fuel paths compared to a gasoline engine. To address this difference, you would have to alter the heads in such a way that it can accommodate a pre-chamber, glow plug, and a diesel fuel injector.

Some fuel pressures in gas engines might be too high for diesel fuel. Should you covert your gas engine to diesel engine, you would need to replace your fuel pump with one that produces lower pressure. This means, too, that you would have to find space to mount the new fuel pump on the engine and learn how to handle this.

There is also an issue as to the timing difference between gas and diesel pumps. You would need to install a Diesel MFI Pump that is to be mounted on the engine and tied to the crankshaft with a timing belt. Other than these, there is also a problem with the gaskets of your current gas engine. Its head gasket need to be replaced with ones that can sustain a higher pressure as diesel puts out four times more pressure than gasoline. After this, you would also need to beef up your suspension as the diesel engine is far more heavy than the gasoline.

So if you ask about the probability of such process. The answer is a solid "yes." It is possible, gas to diesel conversion can happen. But the conversion along will cost you so much time and money. If it's a diesel engine you have in your mind, the quickest and most pain-free option would be sell your gas-run engine and just buy yourself a diesel-powered one.

Chrysler Introduces 2008 Dodge Caliber Srt4

Street and Racing Technology (SRT), Chrysler's high performance tuning division is adding up a new item on their product lineup with the release of the all new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 equipped with a powertrain unit that is capable of pumping out 285 horsepower. This model will be the most powerful entry in the segment, according to Chrysler LLC.

Kipp Owen, Director of SRT Engineering for Chrysler commented:

“The all-new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 achieves the SRT mission of offering benchmark performance for the best price. With 285 horsepower under the hood, the Dodge Caliber SRT4 is a world-class entry in the sport-compact market.”

Under the hood of the all new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 comes a 2.4-liter DOHC I-4 Turbo World Engine that pumps out 285 horsepower and 265 lb. ft. of peak torque. This engine comes with high-temperature Inconel exhaust valves, Dual VVT, and high-flow pump feeding injectors. In addition, the engine is mated with an electronically tuned Brake Lock Differential and Getrag DMT-6 six-speed transmission to complete the powertrain components.

“The all-new 2.4-liter turbocharged World Engine delivers a level of power you’d expect from a V-8. With the engine in the all-new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4, we were able to take advantage of tried-and-true performance improvements, such as increased cylinder-head flow and higher compression ratio, as well as newer technologies such as Variable Valve Timing (VVT).” said Pete Gladysz, Senior Manager – SRT Powertrain.

The all new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 also features a front suspension lowered by 28 mm and independent MacPherson strut setup with ZF Sachs twin-tube dampers tuned, along with 210 lbs./inch springs. Other technical features found on the 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 include unique rear 18 mm sway bar to reduces understeer, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Dodge spark plug wire, rack-and-pinion power steering tuned by SRT, 340 x 28mm vented front rotors with 57mm twin-piston aluminum front calipers, 302 x 10mm rear rotors with 35mm piston calipers, and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

Like all other tuned up models from SRT, the 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 also embodies aggressive and sporty characteristics. Some exterior design cues include functional brake cooling ducts, larger grille opening, unique hood with functional air scoop, large integrated spoiler above the rear glass, Dodge crosshair grille, fog lamps set into the fascia, lower side-sill moldings, single 4-inch exhaust tip, Center High-mounted Stop Light (CHMSL), and SRT-unique 19-inch cast-aluminum wheels that wrapped with 225/45 R 19 W-rated Goodyear four-season tires. Customers can also choose the optional 19-inch polished cast-aluminum wheels covered with 225/45 R 19 W-rated Goodyear F1 Supercar three-season tires.

Moreover, Chrysler offers four exterior colors for the all new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 including Brilliant Black, Sunburst Orange, Bright Silver and Inferno Red.

Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President for Design commented: “From the very first sketches of the all-new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4, we wanted an aggressive, SRT-signature look. For example, because the intercooler is positioned so high behind the front grille, we moved the fascia slightly forward and extended the walls of the grille. The result is a much more aggressive look than the standard Dodge Caliber. Exterior design that works as well as it looks is a requirement for all SRT vehicles. The hood design includes the functionality of bringing cool air in and getting hot air out.”

Inside, the all new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 is equipped with a wide range of interior features inspired by Dodge's motor sports division. These including unique SRT touches like sport seating with aggressive bolstering and performance fabric inserts, leather-wrapped steering wheel, unique “alloy silver” finish on the instrument panel and shift bezel, bright aluminum pedal pads, leather boot with a carbon-fiber pattern, leather-finished shifter knob and cap with a bright chrome finish, standard AM-FM radio with a multi-disc CD changer control, and an available SRT-engineered Kicker high-performance audio system with 13 speakers and 322-watt amplifier and 200-watt subwoofer. Only Dark Slate Gray interior color is available for the all-new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4.

Creed added: “The Dodge Caliber interior is unique with sophisticated and contemporary appointments. When we enhanced it with SRT cues, we followed design themes that had been successful with the previous Dodge SRT4, including the graphic design of the instruments, separate boost gauge, and silver finish on the center stack and interior trim. Overall, our strategy was to infuse the interior with performance-oriented enhancements to complement the Dodge Caliber SRT4’s aggressive exterior.”

And finally, the all-new 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 offers a bunch of active and passive safety systems to give its occupants the best protection during car troubles. Safety and security features include advanced, all-speed traction control, auto-reverse sun roof, BeltAlert, Crumple Zones, energy-absorbing steering column, Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS), height-adjustable seat-belts, HomeLink Universal Home Security System Transceiver, Inflatable Knee Blocker, Knee Bolsters, multi-stage air bags, Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH), Remote Keyless Entry, seat-belt pretensioners, sentry key engine immobilizer, supplemental side-curtain air bags, and Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system.

Chrysler LLC did not announce the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) in their official press release.

How can I tell which spark plug boot goes where?

if I accidentally switched two of them. The car runs with either way, but one runs rougher and the other more smooth, so how can I tell if the correct boot is on the correct spark plug simply by the way it runs

If it runs smooth you got it right.
