Toyota has commissioned Yamaha to convert its naturally-aspirated 2UR-GSE 5-litre V8 to run on hydrogen -
and Kawasaki, the five companies have formed a conglomerate that’s teamed up in the research and development of such engines, appealing to those who want to maintain the character and feel of combustion engines, without the associated carbon footprint.
The V8’s conversion was relatively simple, with adaptations only made to the injection system, cylinder heads, intake and exhaust. The latter is perhaps the biggest change, with a fundamental change to the engine’s breathing, switching the cold air intake entry point to the outer-side of the block, therefore placing the exhaust within the cylinder banks.
There are, of course, still limits to the technology, such as the production of other noxious emissions in hydrogen’s combustion process such as nitrous oxide, itself a harmful greenhouse gas. But, with the continued development of post-combustion emission treatments in modern diesel engines, this same technology could be applied here.
