I've been curious about the potential for a diesel snowmobile for a while. I found a couple different engine candidates that put out decent power. Ideally, a small =/< 2.0L 2 stroke engine would the be the engine of choice, but I can't find any small diesel 2 strokes. A baby wartsila-sultzer would be very fun. I did find a couple small 4 stroke engines. Here are links to some info on each respectively:
The last 1.6L one is the one I'd use - Citroën C3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm not sure about the 1.2 or 1.4L here - Volkswagen Lupo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JTD engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some of these might be too big, but it's surprisingly hard to find dimensions for these engines. I also haven't been able to find info on the types of injection pumps on most of these or turbo info. I believe the Citroen is has common rail injection and the 1.2 L VW tdi has a ve style pump. This one is very intriguing because I was wondering if there are any p-pumps that could be retrofitted to add more fuel. It would have to be odd numbered with 3 or 6 pistons. Would it be possible to detune a 5.9 injection pump to the point where it would work here? I doubt it, but you never know if unless you ask.
