    Cool! I put a 5 cylinder Deutz with 5 speed out of an Iveco in a 3/4 ton ford van. Worked great and put thousands of miles on it. I ran engine oil through the heater core with the original Iveco shear oil heater and that worked for interior heat.

      How does the heater core handle the pressure? The oil circuit is about 3 times the operating pressure as the coolant circuit would be on a conventional system.

      Yes, the majority of 912's have belt-driven fans that run continuously, regardless of temperature. It's pretty common for them to run cold, especially if they don't have a load on them. If you're concerned about it running too cold, you could always make a partial block-off plate to restrict the amount of air entering the fan.

    • @adampavick7007
      @adampavick7007  Před 5 lety +5

      All RSV governors are "variable-speed", meaning they'll speed up and slow down as you move the throttle lever. The only difference between these governors and an automotive (RQV) governor is that they'll try to maintain a constant speed for any given throttle position. Most tractors have the same type of throttle control, and it's perfectly acceptable in a road vehicle. No modifications are necessary.
      The only time you'll really notice the difference if you approach a steep hill, the governor will begin to move the rack without any input from the driver. It's actually kinda nice.

    • @fransstrous9809
      @fransstrous9809 Před 3 lety

      RQ or RS regulators are do called mini maxi regulators, RQV and RSV are all speed regulators, in German language V stands for Versrellregler. A mini maxi regulator is more suitable for on road use, only idle rpm and max. rpm are regulated. An all speed regulator is used in tractors, generators, marine engines etc. This type regulator keeps any rpm constant

    friend, congratulations on an excellent video. I consult you! Can I put a 3 cylinder Deutz engine on a Chevrolet Blazer with a 700 turbo automatic transmission?

    Cool adaptation, but a VW diesel conversion could've more than doubled the HP and still gotten the same/better MPGs.. without the high noise level,too.

      But it wouldn't be air-cooled. The best VWs are the air-cooled ones.

      No, it's 4-stroke, but I do have a 2-stroke Detroit Diesel in another truck.

    So... no heat, slow as hell, no power, good MPG, reliable.

      Well, It has a diesel-fired cab heater that puts out a ton of heat. It has _some_ power, but not a lot. It can go 65 mph all day long, so it's good enough for me.

    Shouldn't be subjecting such a quality motor to that absolute trash waste oil fuel.

      Waste oil isn't trash if properly filtered. Learn before you judge
