Dieselpunk roadster update
Readers may recall that in December we introduced you to to the
latest creation from the fertile mind of Tom McGriff of Mac Miller’s Garage - the “Dieselpunk roadster” a race car
inspired by the ‘art deco’ era locomotives powered by a four-cylinder diesel
engine.
We are proud to share an update – McGriff has obtained a Toyota KZ-TE 4-cylinder 183 cubic inch single overhead camshaft turbo diesel engine with 2 valves per cylinder and electronically controlled fuel injection. From the factory, the intercooler equipped version of the KZ-TE engine produced 145 horsepower and over 250 ft/lbs of torque.
Tom is currently consulting with turbo diesel experts in Indianapolis to adapt this powerplant for use in the “Dieselpunk roadster.”
