If you missed IAV's engineer Kody Klindt's explanation at the show, here it is again. A little tough to hear, but a pretty in depth presentation on the engine10-4 .... that is certainly possible

I see 'em Jim. Thanks!just a guess .... you can see 3 larger holes at the bottom of the picture ..... above each is a smaller hole that looks like it is drilled in at an angle .... those three might be for spark plugs
Jim
They could also be for the fuel injectors now that I look at them more closely, and the spark plugs do go through on the exhaust port side of the engine like the G10's did.
Edit: Looking at the renderings from Part 2 it looks like the plugs are on the exhaust side, and look a lot like the G10's do.
I see 'em Jim. Thanks!

I don't think we'll see many EGR failures. EGR on diesel engines have issues because of particulate matter clogging everything and NOx and sulfur eating away at seals, as gasoline is so volitile it doesn't have as much trouble with particulates, and while a high compression gasoline engine the Elio engine still won't produce much NOx compared to a 18:1 diesel. Sulfur content in gasoline is however double that allowed in ULSD at 30ppm compared to 15ppm for ULSD.
But I agree, the engine looks great, but much less than 99% complete in the photo's. No oil pan, no timing system, no fuel system, not even fasteners to hold everything together.
Also, the EPA doesn't require an EGR. The EPA sets emissions guidelines and leaves it up to the company to figure out a way to meet them, almost everyone uses one because it's cheap and easy, but it's not required.
No, in the side. Then you push the pedal and it go.
