Thank you, I tried to find specs on the engine and bobcats that used them and seemed to have not luck. I didn't think to look at heads. Now the question is what would be involved in putting a Direct injection engine in a Bobcat that had a Indirect injection motor previously? Would this even matter as long as fuel and power we connected?In a quick web search all the info I found says this is indirect injection. This was based on replacement heads I found for sale.
As long as you use an engine that's in the same general size and horse power range so you don't over or under power your machine. Someone may have to chime in here to better explain why they use the different types of injection. I know that some Kubota engines with the same model number have different injection types because I've seen heads for the same engines models offered in ether configuration.Thank you, I tried to find specs on the engine and bobcats that used them and seemed to have not luck.

The two will have the same block but different head, injectors and pistons. There is no reason why a direct injected engine wouldn't work. I personally have never seen one but it would do the same job. DI engines are a little louder than indirect injection. They do start easier though. I personally would stick with the indirect injection as they are more common, so parts will be cheaper and easier to find!As long as you use an engine that's in the same general size and horse power range so you don't over or under power your machine.

I really don't know what i'm talking about here, but could the only real difference be with emisions requirements? I believe that bobcat has to adhere to tier 2 emision requirements? although I don't think the laws are completely in effect yet, I believe bobcat may be getting a jump on this..........The two will have the same block but different head, injectors and pistons.

I don't know much about the emission side but the 2 types are different how they inject the fuel charge. Now i will try and explain it as best as i can.I really don't know what i'm talking about here, but could the only real difference be with emisions requirements?
