You know, the more I think about it, the more I think this channel is basically making Kei cars but with extra steps. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you!
underrated comment
Facts but more informative kei car building. Love it regardless. It's fun to learn basics of small motors
This engine in an old Yaris would be great fun to watch. Shame the Toyota Aygo never made it to the States. (a size below the Yaris, almost Kei)
LOL, I guess that's pretty close to hat we are doing.
@@petersimpson5859 compact(Corolla), sub compact (Yaris), city(aygo), kei(pixis). City and kei cars don't sell in America and subcompact struggles because there's literally no need for the majority and most would prefer a motorcycle or bigger vehicle anyway.
Also, another comment I want to add is I own a small fleet of refrigerated trucks and trailers. This motor is commonly used in the reefer units. The more contemporary units are turbo charged versions of this 3 cylinder with an EGR for California shipments (lots of outbound Frieght from the ports, but they are extremely strict on emissions) We also adjust boost and fuel season to season.
We turn down the fuel during winter and replace the thermostat for a winter specific temp. This will allow us to get approximately 30 hours run time on a 30 gallon tank. In summer (about 24 hour run time, 30 gallon) it is more difficult to bring down the temps of the load to get it into spec before it is offloaded. So we run the engine at 500 more RPM to slightly overclock the compressor. Because of the summer heat, we do not run into heightened defrost cycles despite the increase in BTU's to atmosphere.
Do not run above 1250 degrees F on EGT for extended amounts of time. That's when we started seeing more service intervals on internals. Mainly rings. These are not sleeved engines so it is required to remove the unit entirely to service it.
There are specific Carrier and ThermoKing computers to tweak some of the operations on the computerized models. Like operating RPM and warning/shutdown parameters.
I've been working on reefer units for almost 10 years now. Never seen a turbocharged unit before. Only small 2 to 4 cylinder NA Engines from Kubota, Yanmar, Perkins and some Landini/Kohler. I know Carrier has a CNG powered engine in some units but i belive that is NA also.
llp
@@DasNik25 ive also never seen a turbocharged version through my years.
I love the internet. You can connect with an expert on literally everything. Very cool!
@Das, did the units you worked on have egr valves, this guy has been working to keep his exhaust temps down I think an egr valve would help
This is in danger of becoming practical. I can't wait to see the insight. Truly under appreciated cars. (Sorry about the scout) I have a few whoopsies I have sold myself.
Can't wait for ring filing + More boost.
The fuel rack seems to be the biggest power adder, and the turbo is more of an air management than power. Really awesome to see the progress on this thing. Keep it up Jimbo!
9x -7i > 3 (3x -7u)
Don't add too much and become the next tear down vid!
Man your generation had it good. I'm 21 and it's basically unheard of to be able to buy a running and driving car under $3k, let alone pay $1 or get one for free
The good old days of $50 and $100 dollar cars. 😃
People were nicer
Used car market seems pretty crazy in the US. Over here in France used cars prices have incrased but you can still find 250€ runners wich failed mandatory inspection. For inspected cars the bottom price is about 1000€ for beaten-up 25 years old cars.
A suggestion: Instead of removing the front aero (which seems to have proven itself as far as getting down the road better) to cool the engine bay, consider putting air extractors on the hood. This does two things. It improves the airflow through the engine bay without hurting aero. Secondly, it reduces air pressure from under the front end, which also helps aero. Two birds, one stone.
Not on the hood - there's a high pressure zone at the rear of the hood, close to the base of the windshield. Instead, move air extraction to some gills in the fenders, or even out through the wheel wells.
@@leifhietala8074 - With the correct extractors, it will draw out from under the hood very easily. The reason they work is due to a venturi effect. Faster air (air going over the surface of the hood) will pull slower air (stagnant air inside the hood) with it. Physics is a wonderful thing.
@@Paulster2The calculations to figure out where to stick em is probably complicated and just sticking some vents on the hood without that knowledge could adversely affect mpg. Aero is tricky
Tape shitloads of strings to the hood to see where smooth airflow will pull air out of holes. That's how it was done before computer simulations.
You can remove some of the shim under the fuel injection pump. This will increase fuel injection timing. It will gain power, lower egts, and better mpg. Doing this will increase nox emissions and is why most diesel engines used to run 25 dgs of fuel timing and now they are at about 15 to 18.
well, jimbo ain't no engine manufacturer so he don't have to comply with any emissions
@@dieselgeezer18 No, but the three letter hippie mafia watches CZcams, he needs to be careful anyway.
@@MiGujack3 True but he's just a dude in his garage making 60mpg go-karts, he isn't a tuning shop selling performance parts or defeat devices, he doesn't have a large following, and he isn't out here rolling coal or street racing. I understand they have gone after some other smaller youtubers just making videos on their personal modified cars and that anything can happen, but as it sits unless his channel blows up his chances of being bothered look pretty low.
@@sabero5668 my 72 beetle with a 1.6d out of a rabbit can do 50mpg in summer but doesnt do as good in winter due to all the kero they put in diesel up here in montana about 50 is what i average in winter maybe if i lived down south it would do better who knows or i could stick a tdi which could do better who knows i like the way it is now
@@MiGujack3 hippie mafia LMFAO my sides
This is acceptable transportation at this point👍 good work

I would suggest advancing your injection timing. EGT is based on how much fuel is still burning as it leaves the cylinder (wasted). So maybe advance the injection, and ESPECIALLY copy the work of SPEED OF AIR when they dimpled the pistons. Their patent says it strengthens the boundary layer on the piston, and improves flame front travel throughout the air/ fuel mix.
A little more timing is exactly what I was going to suggest. Too much fuel still burning as it’s leaving the cylinder.
@@toddmoore8808 ROBOT CANTINA, Congratulations on 115K subscribers.. Your fan club is expanding.
Diesel saturn, the best build and test videos on CZcams. Just my opinion 👍
Not just yours :)
Block the waste gate off completely and tune the boost with the fuel screw.
your EGT should drop somewhat once a intercooler is fitted as it lets the inlet charge provide some cooling on the intake stroke. as for how much boost it can handle i would guess around a bar would be safe with the turbo being as small as it is on this engine i would say it could make a solid 1.5 bar through most of the rev range but you may want to have some form of water methanol for protracted full throttle.
Cant wait video with LPG injection :))
When I started watching E1 S1 back in the day I wasn't expecting the videos to get this good. I don't know why you don't have 1 million subs.
It may be due to only about 10% of viewers liking the video thus far instead of more. It's "the algorithm".
it does take a long time
0-60 mph in less than a minute and 58 MPG? GM should have put a little diesel in from the factory.
Considering they had a relationship with Isuzu I don't know why they didnt
Can’t meet unrealistic emissions
Nobody in the US wanted a diesel passenger car (I gather that the Oldsmobile diesel V8 left a sour taste in everyone's mouth). The Europeans had lots of little diesels in compact cars, until dieselgate scandal put them off a bit.
AIR DENSITY IS KING! 5psi of cold air is better than 8psi of hot air. I would do at least 2 of the intercoolers that you have.... egt's will drop dramatically.
The trick to get good performance and good fuel economy and don't push the engine too hard is to be able to do adjustments dynamically.
For the turbo boost a solution is to have a spring set to a low boost but insert a T on the line to the waste gate actuator. Then let some air escape in a controlled way. This way the actuator doesn't see the real boost if you let air leak, allowing for a higher boost. If you stop the leak you go back to the default lower boost.
For the diesel pump setting, it would also be nice to be able to tweak it. More for power, less for economy and reliability.
thats literally what a boost controller does lol. no need to make it. just buy a cheap one.

Jimbo! You can "reverse" calculate your horsepower using your weight and the 1/4 mile time.
THANK YOU JIMBO , for another great video! This video is one of your best!
And he can do the 1/4 mile in less time then it takes to get to 60. :D
My country has been to the moon, but I still appreciate all the metric conversions you put up!
As others already mentioned, adding an EGR valve might be a good next step after putting in the intercooler, as the EGR is not just an emissions device, but can also be used to keep EGT down and regulate combustion speed in the engine, increasing efficiency, reducing the thermal load on the pistons and cylinder walls and reducing NOx and soot formation, or in other words: while it covers your intake in gunk, it protects your engine from local overheating and improves both efficiency and lifespan, which is also why I think EGR deletes don't make a lot of sense on a turbodiesel, and adding EGR to a pre-emissions engine should be considered more of a tuning measure than removing it. On a gas engine, the EGR is purely for emissions and could be removed without having negative effects on the engine (although I still wouldn't recommend it), but on a diesel, it is a critical part of the engine management, as it allows the ECU to regulate the oxygen content of the intake air while still giving the engine a mostly inert dummy gas to compress in place of air, making it possible to give it less air without it loosing compression, as would happen with a throttle body. That is also why I still have the EGR on all of my engines, as well as them failing inspection without it. Another reason why I want to keep all the emissions equipment on my engines is that I don't want to breathe in all the stuff coming out of a deleted engine, so why would I make others behind my car have to? But independent of personal opinion, an EGR valve certainly benefits the engine, so adding one and a controller with an O2 and throttle position sensor might be a good idea.
Needs an intercooler, and there is definitely more pressure from the turbo. Its not like a gasser diesels love leaner mixtures, and they drop egts. Wouldn't suprise me if you dont settle in the 20psi range that would probably put that turbo in a sweet spot on the compressor map.
14psi would be more than safe on a diesel.
It can definitely handle 15psi maybe 20-25psi with some risk, he can definitely grind the piston rings down for more boost
Again, boost does not crack rings but rather heat in the combustion chamber. Throw enough fuel at it, and it will do it at atmospheric pressure. Boost is resistance, air density is what makes power. Small turbos simply do not like to move air efficiently at lower pr ratios. That is why you need to get into higher "boost" levels to get into better efficiency on the compressor map.
@@bigworm84 this is totally right!

@@ekner ROBOT CANTINA, Congratulations on 115K subscribers.. Your fan club is expanding.
I wish I had a LUV.
Airflow in the intake should not be overlooked for more power. Use as large as possible air filter. Pounds of boost don't mean crap. air density is what you need. An intercooler would help. Any back pressure in the exhaust will also decrease exhaust temp significantly. That's my 2 cents, I just want you to succeed!! Love the content.
The Banks videos on killing a Duramax are very informative on the aspects of air density and injection timing for getting more power on a diesel. I highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already seen them.
That little filter probably flows enough, but engine bay heat could be an issue. If he ran an intake pipe to the wheel well that cold winter air would definitely help!
This so much this. I would like to add, making smooth transfers in the exhaust manifold and inlet to turbine, and stepping to an overly large diameter exhaust, stepped up in diameter, for a while before smoothly reducing it to muffler diameter.
That filter is perfectly fine for that engine.
An intercooler will probably be added later. This channel is all about steps.
@@volvo09 THANK YOU JIMBO , for another great video! This video is one of your best!
It would be pretty darn cool to take that thing to a dyno shop and get it tested.
I might have missed it but if you don’t have a intercooler on the Saturn that will definitely help reduce IATs and EGTs significantly. Should also help power especially on long pulls.
My mother's first car was a 68 Beetle. It was $600 in the early 70s, and wasn't in the best of condition... Desert Tan paint job. My father had always done his own maintenance, and had... surprisingly poor luck with cars. He had a (very literal) 56 Tbird that met its demise when it was, erm, T_boned_ in an accident that was very much the other guy's fault. _His_ father was an ironworker, but there's only so much you can do with metal, no matter who you are, and that driver's side door was never going to close properly again after what happened to the frame. When the 66 Fairlane with the bad gas gauge (and other notable maladies, apparently) died by lighting itself on fire in my mother's parents' driveway (!!!), Dad decided to play it safe and the two just stuck to the Beetle. Dad had the lovely habit of using the handbrake at stoplights, and then forgetting he'd set it... which eventually resulted in a rather extensive transmission rebuild in their driveway at the time. Sometime in... probably the early 1980s, it was no longer viable transportation, and was hauled away unmercifully. It was several different colors, at that point, having had replacement body panels where rot set in, but once the floorpans in the back seat area rusted to the point that you could only ride in it with your knees clutched tightly against you, Dad made it clear that he drew the line at what he was willing to do to keep it alive at just this side of learning to weld. Off it went to the scrapyard.
Kubota's are extremely durable I have one with 4400 hours runs perfect no leaks no smoke no oil usage no rattles no ticks nothing motor is dry not even greasy
This is one of the few things I look forward to in life.
May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart, and warmed by the smiles of the people you love.💚
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
We had a 65 vw beetle with the 44 HP engine. We pulled a camping trailer with it throughout Western Europe in the mid-1960s. We WERE pulled over by the Carabinieri on the Italian Autostrada for going too slowly in the slow lane. They had submachine guns, ready to shoot us.
You know what they say: everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day! Let's celebrate accordingly! CHEERS! 🍻🍀💃
In regard to your egts ste water injection even a washer pump set up should make a big difference. Just remember if your gonna spray post turbo reference the washer tank to boost and use the pump. For low boost stuff I use a washer water level dial as my pressure switch and a Hobbs switch for anything over 10psi activation point. For preturbo water injection I like using the cheap harbor freight mini hvlp paint gun that I cut the extra stuff like the handle off and you can zip tie the trigger wide open or add a servo with cam for a fancy system that's load and rpm dependent. This stops the small but permanent boost leak for the air side of the gun. Add a check valve and mount you tank lower than the injector or paint gun. And dont forget for a fun test you can add washer fluid that's 50\50 water meth and dry ice to the tank and get some super cold iat and much cooler egts. Also why not do an avis mod to the injection pump? It's a simple boost reference that adds fuel on boost so you can keep the rack reasonable and add fuel when you need it for more power. I'll say on my na to t t5 volvo with no intercooler this gave a regular 100°+ drop in iat. better and lighter with less lag than my old front mount ic but at the expense of having to keep the tank full which I fixed with a bigger tank in the trunk with pump and a level sensor in the smaller front tank along with a light that turns on when the back tank is about 1/8 left. It's a 5gal tank so I can go about a tank and a half of gas to one tank if water or more commonly washer fluid as that's what its turned for.
These are two ideas that i verify are worthwhile doing
@@DC_DC_DC_DC thanks iv got more in my hat lol but this should get them pretty far. Excuse my typing mechanic fingers hit too many buttons some times.
Speaking of a VW beetle, there's a guy who installed a 1.4 VW TDI in his beetle and got around 75 mpg.
Detroit is a great bar city. Whether grabbing a simple shot and beer with buddies after work at the corner dive, celebrating with girlfriends in the area’s many cocktail bars, rooting for the local teams at the sports-centric watering holes, or appreciating the latest in craft beer - there’s bound to be a spot to fit anyone’s tastes.
The Sugar House
One of the bars that helped usher in Detroit’s cocktail revival, the Sugar House is known for training some of the best bartenders in the city (its owners have since opened several other excellent establishments). The bar serves an extremely deep and detailed list of classic drinks as well as original - often themed - recipes.
Motor City Wine
Motor City Wine defies expectations of what a wine bar should be. This longtime drinking spot features a quality selection of bottles from around the world for sale in its shop as well as by-the-glass and bottled choices behind the bar. The fenced-in patio is a popular destination during the warm summer season, while the indoor space serves as a cozy option for sips and taking in the occasional DJ set.
The Skip
The Skip in The Belt alleyway gives guests “edgy” downtown vibes, with cozy, festival feels no matter the time of year. During the warmer months, the indoor/outdoor spot opens its walls so that guests can spread out with frozen cocktails and catch summer breezes in the outdoor seating area. During the winter, the place closes off the outdoor area but keeps things fun with a variety of tiki-style drinks, and usually nostalgia-inducing holiday specials.
The Monarch Club
With panoramic views of the Detroit cityscape and three outdoor terraces, the Monarch Club is a popular spot for al fresco drinking or feeling fancy in the rooftop bar’s indoor area. The public cocktail lounge perched at the top of the Metropolitan Building serves a mixture of classic drinks alongside original options such as the Dark Corners with rye whiskey, amaro sfumato, cherry liqueur, and orange bitters. Make a reservation online.
The Royce Detroit
The Royce is the Grand Circus Park-adjacent wine bar and bottle shop situated on the first and second levels of the Kales Building. The storefront features custom shelving made from walnut wood and piping, globe light fixtures, and library ladders. A 12-seat bar fills out the center of the first floor. Owners Ping Ho and Angela Rutherford have curated a massive wine program featuring some 300-plus bottles available for retail, an extensive menu for pours by the glass or bottle, and a selection of cured meats and cheeses. The spot even offers classes for those who want to expand upon their wine knowledge base.
Actually that motor is def built for a turbo (besides the ring gap). The ring gap can be fixed easy enough if you really wanted to. The ring is. If you are keeping the exhaust temps down with the turbo and not adding a crap load of fuel it will be fine.
Exactly, it’s the heat that kills the rings, not the boost pressure. That little motor should be able to take 14+psi easy if he keeps the egt’s in check.
ahh that VW "bettle" the baby puke green was always my favorite color.
Actually one of my "early" memories from before I could communicate with other human beings was I remember getting into my childs seat, for lack of a better term, mighta just been some phone books. I told my mom her "oishtur light" was on. Not sure where I was going with that, I didn't know if the oil can icon was what an oyster looked like, or if oil was pronounced oy-shtur, or if oy was all I could remember and just trailed off or winged it for the rest of the word, BUT, nonetheless, yes she did eventually seize the engine. Thank god too, she woulda kept driving that hunk of shit until I was big enough to help her pop the clutch on it in grocery store parking lots.

Man, that Gated Shifter sounds just like a Ferrari!
Suggestion: Beetle with a predator or other V-Twin. I think they go up to roughly the same 20-30 hp. (And I could learn hoe to put one in a water pump originally designed for Volkswagen engines, they are basically free here in Germany because these pumps are a good source for original Beetle-engines that have not run much)
I've seen beetles with Harley engines and they run pretty good!
Harley power Beetle videos would be awsome to see!
Heavy flywheel weights compared to standard and light would be an interesting comparison at this power level.
0.4mpg with ~7.5 pounds of boost is a fair trade for making the car significantly more drivable. Though like you said, no idea what it's doing to the longevity.
Always sad to see a first-gen Insight without the original drivetrain, but also great to see it getting new life with another efficient engine. I'm looking forward to what fuel economy numbers you can get out of that.
Awesome work here! I also had a beetle back in the day. 1969 at $80.00US purchase price as a senior in high school.
Wow, 80 bucks for a bug, the prices have really gone up.

Neptune is our solar system’s windiest planet. The winds on Neptune can be three times stronger than those on Jupiter and nine times stronger than those on Earth, despite its considerable distance from the Sun and limited energy intake. At speeds of over 1,200 miles per hour (2,000 kilometers per hour), these winds whisk clouds of frozen methane across the planet. Even the strongest winds on Earth are only about 250 miles per hour (400 kilometers per hour).
At first glance, Neptune appears to be a calm sapphire paradise. But don’t be fooled by its serene azure hues: the eighth planet from the Sun is a rogue. Cloudy bands and enormous gyres appear as dark smudges on the surface of that tranquil sapphire expanse, revealing part of the spinning mayhem below it.
Powerful winds constantly circle the planet. In fact, one spot had a storm developing for five long years. In 1989, Voyager 2 captured a “Great Dark Spot”
that may have fit the entire Earth inside. Although that storm has passed, new ones have appeared in various parts of the planet.
Astronomers reported for the first time in March of 2019 that they had witnessed the formation of one of Neptune’s massive storms. The newborn storm, nearly as large as the maelstrom seen by Voyager, appeared to form bright white clouds between 2015 and 2017 before becoming a full-fledged gyre in 2018.

These are some of my favorite videos on CZcams. I'm always excited for your content.
And yes, I understand the joys of turbodiesel spool sounds very well. I drive a Freightliner with a Detroit D15. It sounds like an old train whistling when it accelerates.
An improvement you can try is to lower the intake air temperature to help keep the exhaust temps down. Gathering inlet air that is not heated by the exhaust and radiator will help as an intercooler to cool the compressed air.
Longtime watcher of this series and owner of 2 Saturns in my life. First was a 2002 SL1 "spring special" purchased new at the end of the production run before the ION came out. I tested the safety features of this car and it was totaled but would consistently get 40.5 MPG from the single cam engine with an automatic. I currently have a 2001 SC2 dual cam automatic with 250k miles. Runs great and the best I've gotten is 41.5MPG at 78 MPH with no A/C on during a trip to San Diego. These were very reliable cars (as long as you don't over rev the engine [the real reason I don't have a manual trans]) with a mind blowing MPG for the time.
I had a 2001 SL1. I got an average of 40MPG on a 24hour trip. I got a bit worried while driving up a mountain and had the fuse for the radiator fan pop about 20 hours into the drive. It was a good car to me.
We can have the best of intentions with our time, but there are a few things that commonly cause us to get pulled away from those intentions:
Unexpected things come up - an urgent work situation, a new request for our time, a crisis, really anything that needs to be dealt with that we didn’t anticipate.
Things take longer than we thought they would. This is really common. We think we’ll take an hour to write that report, and it takes four. We think we’ll just run to the store for 20 minutes for a quick errand, and it takes 45 minutes.
We forget to plan for things that don’t usually go on our schedule, like eating, rest, showering, brushing our teeth, folding laundry, cooking and cleaning up, and so on. So our ideal schedule rarely has everything we really need to do, and as a result, the schedule will often be thrown way off.
The first thing is to think about what intentions you have for your time that you’re not already doing. For example:
Read more
Get outdoors more
Spend more time with family
Once you’ve got those intentions, you can get clearer: 30 mins of reading everyday, an hourlong walk or hike in nature 4x a week, evenings with family after 6pm on weekdays and half day fun on both Saturdays and Sundays.
Set a reminder to review your intentions every morning or evening.
Those are the first steps. The real work will come when you get confronted by fear, resistance or stress … and look to get out of these intentions by working or going to distractions.
This is a practice, and it doesn’t come naturally to most of us.
For many people, a list of St. Patricks Day drinks would be three items long: Guinness, green beer and shots of Jameson. And while we’re totally on board with keeping it simple sometimes, we also love an excuse for a good whiskey or Baileys cocktail - and, of course, a green drink or two. Here, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite festive drinks, ranging from corny to classic cocktails: There are Lucky Charms shots, a maple whiskey sour and of course, plenty of emerald-hued tipples.
To easily turn your favorite drinks into St. Patrick's Day fare, think about adding naturally green ingredients like fresh lime juice, mint leaves or pistachio ice cream. Start the day off with a healthy green smoothie or frothy matcha and end it with a pint of emerald-green beer.

Watching the list of vehicles I’m sitting here thinking yup. Uh huh. Those are all awesome even the pinto.
Can you measure IAT - intake air temperature, temperature of air inside intake manifold?
And then consider adding intercooler?
I think that even with a small intercooler you can push more air into the engine with smaller boost.
On the market there is a lot of cheap analog OEM IAT sensors with simple thermocouple inside which can be "interfaced" even with arduino... Or you can buy whole thing out of china's eshops...
Some IAT sensors are combined with pressure sensor on which is 5V+, 5V- "input" and 0-4.95V output. This can be also DIYed with arduino, you can simply map IAT output voltage to pressure and display it with liquidcrystal for example...
Thank you for the channel! ❤
Gotta be honest my friend, your tone, mannerism, and knowledge keep me coming back, Love your videos.

Raise the stakes
Part of the reason I have been able to go so long without knowing how to cook is that for several years I lived with a friend who enjoyed taking charge in the kitchen. He made dinner; I did the dishes - everyone was happy. But it also made me complacent.
Unsurprisingly, my breakthrough with cooking came when I moved out to live by myself. In setting up my own pantry, I quickly discovered that my flatmate’s essentials - pickled things, salty fish, hard cheeses, hot sauces - were completely different from mine.
After four months of living alone, I have learned that I cannot be without Greek yoghurt, kale, cannellini beans, peanut butter, sour cream, chilli flakes, spinach and frozen chapati breads.
Seeing my staples, when I look in the fridge or cupboard, means I feel more capable and inspired - and I would not have known what they were had I not been forced to find out.
It is the same for tools and equipment: I can’t be without a blender; I don’t think my flatmate ever used one.
Relying on leftovers is often a practical necessity if you’re cooking for yourself, but if you didn’t quite pull off the recipe, leftovers taste of failure - and if you did, you may not want to repeat it once you’ve eaten it three nights in a row.
More important is maintaining a rhythm. Where I used to cook once and eat it night after night, I now freeze the other portions or add an element I’ve made from scratch, so as not to break my cooking streak.
@@kansasrose2909 I’m flying to Portland tomorrow for my boyfriend’s birthday and to Paris and Barcelona at the end of summer for my birthday and these drink ideas have arrived at the perfect time! I usually have a bloody mary on the plane (especially on Alaskan Airlines because they have the best bloody mary mix - “Wicked”! I’ve even found it online and ordered it for home) but I might need to try some of these recipes!
If you want to add some injection timing just take a small shim from under the injection pump. I'd recommend doing that as its adjusted for a normally aspirated engine. Love the content
Another great video, my Sunday mornings are always better because of this channel. Keep up the good work Jimbo.
ROBOT CANTINA, Congratulations on 115K subscribers.. Your fan club is expanding.
Its fun seeing your car collection from years back. The Scout2 was my favorite. Thanks for sharing the cool projects.
A slightly larger turbo with the same boost psi will make more power aswell. Idk what the spool is like on that one. You can also take the shims out from under the injection pump to advance the timing.
Thanks for another episode of this technical saga 😇 I'm looking forward for mooooa boost, and as well for VW 1.6D :D Also love the pictures from The End ^^ Take care Jimbo
This is probably my favorite channel on CZcams, nothing but informative entertainment
Easily the best build series on youtube, I could watch your videos for hours and not get bored
You're a man of amazing ingenuity! Well done
that wheel bearing is really howling now lol
I somehow knew there would be a Pinto on the list. I had a '79 back in the day. First car I ever got up to 100mph in. True story.
The slideshow at the end shows how if you buy something at it's cheapest and look after it, the car will only end up increasing in value. Unlike buying a brand new car that will immediately depreciate the moment you buy it.
I wonder if we could get sponsored by Safelite and get your windshield fixed 😂. Great content as always, loving this series
Very fun experiments. I look forward to your videos. Well done.
Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure
Got the notification for this as soon as I took out for a trip. 8hrs later, what a way to unwind watching your video!
Ever think about putting this in a old VW? now that would be interesting lol. Another awesome video with lots of good information. Have a great week.
I had a 76 Pontiac Ventura, man I loved that car!
Well done mate,
This thing is already faster than most of the average drivers in my town with normal 100+ bhp cars
I was the engine guy at my dealer so I have built many Geo metro 3 cylinder 1.0 liter engines,
That is a 1000cc motor,
When I ordered a short block it came in a cardboard box UPS handed to me.
Watching the progress on the Saturn has been so fun. The turbo on big diesel engines definitely hit different that gassers, you get to hear it for longer too considering you usually have 2-3k rpm at most lol
I love the beetle reference. I have a sand rail made from a ghia and beetle and it originally had a 40hp air cooled 4cyl. Surprising how far such little power can go in the right car.
Toto, I've a feeling we've got a tornado under the hood.
I am so happy that U make it in metric and Celsius to. I really enjoyed the video. Keep on...
A New Way to See the Quantum World
A recent experiment suggests that the principle behind CT scans can also be used to view elusive subatomic particles and waves..
Love this series.
THANK YOU JIMBO , for another great video! This video is one of your best!
Those Scouts are beautiful!
I’ve been checking back every other day waiting for the next installment in this series
Kubota is indrustial engine, they have bunch of headroom for power, to make them more bulletproof.
With tractors, almost every tractor can handle twice the power at 100% load for hours (been there done that).
id imagine the kubota is no different, but i wouldnt go over 1bar (15psi) of boost.
We have a saying that happiness starts at 1bar and ends at 2
Hippies were cool, calm, and fashionable - there weren’t just people, they were a lifestyle, a mindset. They had a strong presence and served as influencers during the 1960s and 1970s and left a strong mark on the music industry. A lot of songs pay tribute to this way of living.
Musical artists have also dressed up in hippie fashion to appeal to a larger audience. In a way, this ideology is both fun and has a purpose. This movement made their era very colorful and note-worthy.
“Blowin’ in the Wind” by Bob Dylan
In 1962 Bob Dylan wrote this track. The lyrics of the song have lines questioning social issues. The main concerns were freedom, war, and peace. It was directly related to the things related to the Vietnam War. The singer believes that an appropriate solution is possible. However, no one is determined to find it.
“Feeling Groovy” by Simon and Garfunkle
This song is a reflection of everyday life. People are too busy to accomplish what they think must be done. You have to keep doing the same things over and over again and it becomes stressful and can lead to unhappiness. This track reminds its listeners to take things slow. Everyone should take the time to enjoy simple things. Appreciate the flowers, feel the mind, and be thankful for your surroundings.
“Imagine” by John Lennon
This mellow song is in sync with the ideals hippies have. It is about living in a world where there is everlasting peace. The tune longs for a time and place where there is no war and suffering. Living in such a world is wonderful and even to date, many are trying to achieve it through advocacy.
“Knights In White Satin” by Moody Blues
Hippies are usually young people in their twenties. They have so many things to learn and experience. The lyrics tell a narrative about a person in a relationship that goes downhill. There is a feeling of desperation and frustration in the words of the song. The song expresses all the feelings that people on the road towards maturity usually go through.
Really like the Saturn Diesel Swap project. Looking forward to seeing how the Honda Insite project performs. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Hi Jimbo! I find this series (as well as previous) very entertaining😎
maybe next step for small Saturn Kubota engine car is to add mild hybrid helping with acceleration (Suzuki had such systems for sure based on alternator used as 2 purpose)
The mighty baked potato straddles an odd line between side dish and entree, which means that its presence on restaurant menus is pretty rare outside of the steakhouse setting. Baked potatoes, while being a food pretty much everyone is familiar with, are almost niche at restaurants, and that’s perhaps why a few businesses entirely devoted to the baked potato have opened - and closed - in locations across the country.
There is no situation in which I do not want a baked potato. Fluffy, buttery, showered in cheese, sour cream, and bacon, the baked potato is an objectively perfect food whether you’re pairing it with a steak in the most classic of dinner combinations, or feasting on a massive russet at a build-your-own baked potato bar. But I’ve noticed that lately, when I’m too impatient to wait an hour for my oven to preheat, it can be pretty tough to satisfy a hankering for a giant baked potato.
And so, for those of us not in driving distance of one of these establishments, where does one procure a great baked potato?
At barbecue establishments across the South, it’s not uncommon to see a hefty baked potato loaded down with brisket or pulled pork, plus the rest of the traditional fixings. These smoke-tinged potatoes are always welcome, but not always available thanks to the weird hours and long lines at many popular barbecue joints. I guess I could go to Wendy’s or, here in Texas, Jason’s Deli for my baked potato fix, but those don’t come close to the magic of a baked potato from a good mom-and-pop that prepares the potato with care to ensure that there aren’t large chunks of unbuttered potato within and that toppings are doled out in the right proportions.
It’s unclear to me why exactly baked potatoes have fallen out of favor as a restaurant offering. Is it because they lack the textural contrast of crispy roasted potatoes with fluffy interiors? Does its boring brown jacket simply not look good enough on Instagram? Are we still avoiding carbs? Whatever the reason, it’s not good enough, and it’s time for the giant, loaded baked potato to make a comeback.
It might be impractical to demand more baked potato-themed restaurants in the style of One Spunky Spud. Such specialization is likely impossible in this economic climate, but there’s nothing stopping restaurants from putting baked potatoes back on their menus. They’re cheap, impossibly easy to make, and a universal crowd-pleaser. Who among us wouldn’t be delighted to find a baked potato on the menu alongside basically any cuisine?
