Crossflow Engine Prototype (Overhead Cam, EFI Gas/Petrol Type). Inspired by Mitsubishi 4G54 engine design. On startup, engine cranks to generate vacuum before combustion begins. Pre-ignites when run on DESL causing undesired operation.

    Since this one isn't getting as much attention at the 6-cylinder, I made it easier to use. No need to add fuel before starting anymore - it's already done. Just spark ON and let it run.

    This engine is a little less forgiving than the 6-cylinder version I made. I'd eventually like to find out how to stop it from occasionally backfiring and destroying itself, but it'll take some time.

    REV A2 - Revised ECU, slightly longer intake valve duration. Adjusted temp sensor to compensate for increased heat in cylinder walls throwing a premature overheat alert.

    May have to make some adjustments to the control unit, I think.
