So glad you made it today Jimbo, we missed you last week.
YES please continue.
Yes!! Welcome back.
I thought I was going crazy not seeing a video last week.
Yes please
YES, HOME MECHANICS NEED A SIMPLE TUTORIAL ON BASIC AUTOMOTIVE SOFTWARE
No worries man
Yes continue. Jimbo, we’re glad you’re back. I along with many others missed you last week but I’d rather you skip a week here and there instead of getting burned out and quit altogether. Thank you brother for the years of entertainment.
Thanks!
I gladly would sacrifice some uploads for Jimbo's sanity, don't want the gnomes to get to him.
i agree also, the reason i like this channel is that youre different to the rest, less bolt on boys and more experimentation, so if you want to go in a different direction, go ahead. just take care of yourself, burnout sucks
@@goosenotmaverick1156 I’m thinking the same.
@@ianwalton4408 amen.
"I'm sure if I worked for Boeing I could take some shortcuts, but I want the throttle to work and the doors not fall off" 😂 I was creased 🤣 a great video of a continuing great project!
That burn 🔥
Cracked me up! 😉
Yes continue with the project. I can't believe you'd think anyone would say no!
Yes! Continue with the project! Let's see what's possible with this little diesel.
Yes, please continue, for two reasons. For one, you first illustrate each of your solutions in an analog fashion. This helps me to understand how your digital solutions are going to work. For two, you are engineering not just for performance, but for reliability, durability and practicality. You are building machines that people could actually use. So many other sites are bench racing for ultimate potential, damn the torpedoes, and if she blows up that no big deal, the sponsors will just pay for another one. I like to see people build things that will actually work.
So glad you are back, Jimbo! I missed you! YES! Please continue. I would LOVE to see this taken to the next level with electronic controls!!
YES! I'm just here to see you make a small diesel engine make as much power as possible, but the efficiency stuff is cool too. My daily driver has a mechanical turbo diesel engine with lots of modifications, so this is very relatable.
Love the jabs at boeing🤣
Yes!! I want to see what you can do for boost control with a microcontroller. Currently in my personal rig, boost is either on or off with a vacuum actuated bypass valve, and the options for an off the shelf electronically actuated one are over $1k. There's definitely a market for this if you decide to sell something...
I'm also loud and stinky, but no woman has ever told me it adds to my charm. 😂😂😂
Yes please 😊
Yea that is what I argue with the EV fan boys. I want noise I'm old lm gonna stink.
Lmfao I'm dead bro 😂
What do they know anyway.....
@@GrantWaller.-hf6jn So you're obnoxious by choice?
I never feel the urge to skip through these videos, this guys ideas and mechanical knowledge amaze me. Hopefully I become as inclined as he is for this type of experimentation and work at some point in my life.
Yes please keep trying your different ideas. But don’t get burnt out. Your editing is so entertaining with great humor
Yes, keep going. Your ideas for pushing this project are right up my alley. Combining practical engineering skills with DIY solutions makes for the best kind of TH-cam videos
"actually this switch system is complex for what it does. And if I worked for Boeing, I could probably take a few shortcuts. But in our case, I want the throttle to work as expected, and I don't want the doors to fall off."
As an AvGeek, this made me laugh so much 😂😂
Yes
Same! I talked with a lifetime Boeing Engineer here in Seattle and he talked in depth about the mismanagement and outsourcing of manufacturing that led to disaster.
Yes, please continue the project! I'd love to see how far you can push this thing! I like electronics and programming and would love to see it appear more on this channel. Experiments like these are exactly what i'm here for!
I come from both an automotive and engineering background, with a focus on electronic systems. I am absolutely fascinated by all projects that include some sort of computerized technology to supplement mechanical systems. I say, please continue this project!
YES.
Please continue. As a HD mechanic with a mechanical engineering degree, this is great to watch. I'd really like to see what can be done with this little engine, which I do encounter from time to time. Love the old mechanical diesels, they will always run because there's no ECU to tell them they can't 😂 (that's where troubleshooting modern diesels gets annoying) 😂😂
"OUCH, that hurt!" - Boeing
😂
YES! These have been fun projects to follow, and I want to see more.
Yes please carry on. I'm no computer guy but I appreciate the two working together to make something cool and unique. Love to see what the car can do with a bit more help
HELL YES! All this is very interesting. As a mechanic all my life I am learning things I never knew you could do. At 77 it just goes to show never to old to learn something new. Have a super blessed week.
Dang. You know Boeing is screwed when they're taking shots from the only man to ever build an amr-500 supercharged, Kubota diesel powered, Honda Insight.
CDD............they need Jimbo at boeing !!!!!!
I get concerned when I hear you mention comments from people who don't get the concept, because one of the people I followed stopped creating because of the nasty comments. Please remember, you don't need to take an IQ test or meet a standard to comment. So any retarded, jobless, bed- wetting, fool can comment. And unfortunately they are usually the ones that comment the most frequently. Please keep doing what you do best. What you do is not duplicated by anyone and you have a gift in terms of your delivery. 😮
I saw a Honda Insight at work the other day going through the drive thru. While my coworker was taking the guy's order, I was telling him all about this channel and the funky stuff you've done with yours, the guy overheard and we got to chatting about the car itself in general and I mentioned this to him as well. The guy said that was amazing and sounds like a fun project to have!
Jimbo: Yes! Sounds like you're excited to keep innovating. Go for it!!!
“If I worked for Boeing I could take a couple of shortcuts” - FUNNY!!!
Sad but true .
"but then the doors might fall off" lol
Never change Jimbo....
Shots fired.... 😏😉👍
😎🇬🇧
Please continue with the project!
I am a guy that once dreamed of converting a 50 cc 2-stroke moped to diesel, with a roots blower and common rail injection of course. So you're almost going the way that I dreamt of ❤
Yes, Jimbo, please continue with this project. Really enjoy watching.
This is what I love about your channel: Let's not settle with a on/off switch, let's add a valve and let's add a servo and I've printed some stuff off camera and let's go.
Most people would just half-ass try something out and stop when it goes into electronics or simple programming a micro controller, while this is exactly the best solution for most mechanical issues, if you don't wanna spend reinventing super complicated steam power mechanics.
Yes! Continue the project. I'd love to see the limits of this engine on both efficiency and power
When its Sunday and there is no video from Jimbo all I think is "I hope he's having a good Sunday and not a stressful one."
I'm very interested with the ALDA function working with this unique setup, please continue I'm very curious. Thank you for providing us all with your content, never gets old and always excited for your next video release. The way you make videos is perfect.
Yes keep going😎 "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster."
Yes!! All the mechanical steps you’ve done have been amazing. But seeing all the tech ideas you have are really interesting and I would love to see a little bit of tech thrown at a mechanically run engine
Yes, abso-froggin-lutely. I may not know a lick about coding, but appreciate seeing how far you can stretch the limits. Glad you're back.
I had to rewatch the beginning of the pedal accessory and only then caught the Boeing door reference.... 😂😂
I frankly am fascinated no matter what direction you choose to go. I enjoy your presentations even though they are far beyond any experiences I've had in automobiles.
Yes, Jimbo. Yes to all the nerdy little things you are interested in. You make everything fun and in addition to that, I get to learn bits and pieces about how diesels work. Your work tickles my brain, and I really appreciate it.
Yes! Keep it going!!! i love this little diesel project as a former navy diesel mechanic (enginemen) and working on diesels that were 15.75" bore and 18.25" stroke V16's where every cylinder was making 572 hp at idle this is so fun for me to watch .
Yup, as a former marine engineer working on large 2 stroke (propulsion) and smaller 4 stroke diesels (ship's generators), I've always loved diesel engines, especially the boosted ones. Feed them lots boosted cool air and clean fuel and any diesel can do amazing things. Lots of power for very little fuel burned.
My vote is for whatever makes you happy. I am looking forward to seeing more with your Renault project, but I also love seeing the Diesel Insight content. I'm mostly just envious of the amount of shop space you have and wish I could bring my projects there as well. Keep at it. You're doing great work.
Yes. It's fun to see you work through this puzzle. Good work and thanks for bringing us along.
It's a big YES from me, Jimbo. Please, we want more!
Yes, please continue! As a programmer who's never really had the chance to work on electronics and automation properly, this might be the thing I'm looking forward to the most in this project yet!
Just sharing love. I've enjoyed watching your engineering experiments and look forward to whatever direction you choose to take the channel. Thanks for the content!
I love watching whatever wild overcomplicated schemes you have to solve simple problems, excited to see what your next project on the car is!
jimbo, the car is never good enough! throw everything at it, as long as it is affordable
The boeing comment you made had me rolling 😂. Great video, as always, Jimbo.
EDIT- Please keep this project going. I'd love to see just how far you can take it within reason.
I want to laugh but I'm going to be in a Boeing for 14 hours Tuesday flying over the Atlantic Ocean 🙄
RIP buddy
Sad times we actually have to worry about this. This is what you get when scrupulous bean counters take over.
Oh boy Jimbo, seeing my other passion, electronics, get bolted into this project really hits the spot, please please do continue!
YES!
This is an awesome series. I'd enjoy seeing what can be done with Tech to improve this car.
All your videos are amazing. Keep up the good work!
Yes!!!! Please keep going.
As someone who appreciates the efficiency and capabilities of the diesel engine, we must have people like yourself that will push the limits of economy, power, and reliability. By bringing these old mechanical engines into today’s technology, I feel you are extending the life of any old engine as our laws change for cleaner air. Grandfather laws are getting fewer and fewer.
I watch your videos and think, why can’t I do this to my 12 valve or even my common rail? No lag, no smoke, and more power than I need from a super charged 5.9?
Please continue and I for one will be here to watch and learn.
A 1985 Mack over the road tractor that I worked on had an "aneroid" smoke reducer. It was a spring loaded diaphragm that pushed against the rack, until boost built up, then smoothly allowed appropriate fuel.
The modern version for a mechanically injected engine would be a computer with a RPM sensor on the crank and a MAF sensor in the intake, controlling a servo that moves a stop on the fuel rack. The computer has a map of max fuel flow rate vs max air flow rate, and adjusts the servo so that the rack cannot move far enough to reach the point of excessive smoke given current air flow and engine speed. This way the computer doesn't interfere with fueling until you hit the limit, and it will even automatically compensate for things like altitude changes or an old air filter.
On a really modern engine with common rail things are of course way more complex. My diesel common rail car has a MAF sensor, crank trigger wheel, wideband sensor in the exhaust, variable geometry turbo, EGR valve, swirl flaps in the intake... My understanding is that it more or less has a target AFR that varies with the power output to minimise emissions, and it uses the MAF and wideband to adjust the fuelling, turbo and EGR to try and hit that AFR. Still makes a puff of black smoke (and a hazy exhaust after) when you accelerate hard.
Edit: Heh, should have let the video finish first. Jimbo is way ahead of me.
Excellent content as always Jimbo! I say continue and push this project to the limit. As my grandmother would say "Good, better, best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is best".
Yes definitely! Been watching this channel a long time, it's exciting to see how far this project can go!
Jimbo I’ve been watching going on 2 years now and now I’m sitting in a hospital room with my fiancé about to have my daughter keep up the good work this video is the bookmark of a new era
Best wishes, daughters are amazing.
@@rnts08she’s wonderful so far
Congratulations!! Hope you spend many years teaching her to hunt and fish and how to kick the boys asses... We need strong, independent women to save us.
Congrats, the saying they grow up so fast is so true. Seems like yesterday my son was born. He's about to be 13 in a few months and scary how fast it went. Best of luck
YES! mega/microsquirt this or whatever. I would want to see that, but I also I think all of us are willing to keep watching regardless of what you choose. I'd watch you demonstrate garden gnome prevention techniques as well.
I really appreciate all your hard work on this project and YES I would like to see how you solve all of these challenges. Thanks for the Videos, Jimbo.
Yes. It has been fun watching you tinker with these vehicles. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, definitely yes. As another engineer, I watch your videos and live vicariously.
I do the same! Also for a Yes here, I'd love to see the electronic solution tested.
Keep going! Push it to the LIMIT!
Always surprised to hear you talking about negatieve comments. You always think things through and are very transparant on them being experiments when they are.
Love the content mate. Yes I would like to see you continue the build
Yes please Jimbo. I would love to see this development continue. Your presentation is both very entertaining and informative.
More technology! See how far you can take it. Thanks for the weekly Sunday morning entertainment, Jimbo!
Yes, I'd love to see more with computerized controls. I've really enjoyed the content and problem solving over the years. Whatever you end up choosing to do, I'll keep watching. The information, testing, success and failure, humor, and education I get is outstanding. Thanks for all the videos!
Always strive for more! This has been a wonderful project, and I wait each week to see what more can be done.
I'm good with either arduino or mechanical enhancements. The best quirky engineering channel on TH-cam!
"I'm sure if I worked for Boeing I can do it cheaper." Brutal. 💀
Yes. Your channel is one of the better "lets do something different for science" channels I've found. Ive really been enjoying the out-of-the-box approach you've been taking.
yes, been following for a while as a Honda enthusiast I'm very intrigued by this series, appreciate the content
Please continue. Everything about this project is so unique and I would love to see more.
Yes, keep adding tech.
Yes continue. Would love to see this continue. Really want to see if you can make it a fully daily able vehicle with all the creature comforts. A diesel insight roadtrip would be pretty epic but that’s a way’s off I suspect.
Please do not change, most folks can only dream of your mechanical intellect. Thank you for the videos
We need to see how far you can push this amazing beastly machine! Yes! Please continue!
Yes continue the project and get the technology going. I love all, mechanical, analog and digital.
I'd love to see intercoolers, timing adjustments etc. You change the least amount of variables of anyone inyeresting on YT. Keep goin!
Yes, please keep going on this project. I (and I am sure many others) are learning so much about how diesels work watching this.
YES! Please continue working on this project, electronically and mechanically.
Tremendous observation and commentary about how hard it is to drive the original gas Insight in daily driving. I owned a first generation Honda Civic Hybrid with the CVT automatic which benefitted from the technology that Honda researched/developed in the Insight. The Honda Civic Hybrid was generally unhappy being a car and I never really learned how to keep all of the hybrid technology operating at peak efficiency. I felt like Honda released a science experiment that was not ready for the streets (or at least the hilly Northeast where I live). This was further confirmed by the three software updates released by Honda during my ownership-each radically changed how the car operated and reduced overall fuel economy. With a new battery and fair weather (60s-70sF), along with a steady 55mph cruise (no a/c) the car returned almost 63 mpg-but it was back breaking hyper mile work. 50,000 miles later (and with the subsequent ecm flashes) the car would only return about 40mpg and only vaguely felt like a normal car. Great work with the Insight, I am certain that the torquey diesel is the key to driving enjoyment and spectacular fuel economy.
Yes! Servo systems combining the governor, S/C bypass system, and throttle? This is the part of the project I've been waiting for the most!
Yes, please do continue! Retrofitting electrical engine controls onto older engines is fascinating.
I wanna see people start doing this with ancient hit and miss type engines
Are you kidding us? Jimbo, other than possibly Thunderhead289, no one else does this kinds of experiments! I say, Yes! Code and optimize the heck out of this project. I'm sure the folks at Kubota are secretly watching your videos. Thanks Jimbo!
Yes to all of it! I love watching and learning about all the things you do!
Yes. I’m an old school “mechanical” mechanic and very much enjoy watching your videos. You did such a great job explaining the fuel injection system for the preditor engine that even I was able to understand how all that scary electrical wizardry works.
Yes
Don’t have to stress too much about comments that are really left field or rude.
I really appreciate your teaching on many subjects and your good attitude and jokes! 😄
So glad you made it back Jimbo,actually had a little withdrawal😂 YES keep going with the insight 👍
yes ! I would be very interested in seeing where this project goes. Other than installing an intercooler, I think the insight has peaked.
Yes as long as you can continue to explain complex ideas simply. i love learning from this channel! These projects and how far theyve come have been truly inspiring!
Yes. Let's keep going. You're WAY over my head, but that's where it gets fun.
YES! Please continue!
I had no idea the car was that light! It's less than half of the weight of my TDI Jetta, only further solidifying my opinion that I need to get, gut, and TDI swap one of these cars!
Yes, do it! Let's see how efficient it becomes after adding some tech to the setup.
Keep up the good work!
YES, please continue with the microcomputer. It really is the best way to maximize the performance of what you have and it's really satisfying to see it all working perfectly at all speeds and throttle.
yes, continue with the project and make the car go faster with technology!
Yes. Jimbo, i really enjoy your videos. Keep going on the Honda. It's very cool to see how much you can do with so little of a powerplant.
Hi Jimbo . Love what you are doing here . Just keep adding what ever it takes .
Jimbo, I’ve been with you every episode since the 212 insight. I think I speak for a good majority of us when I say YES, PLEASE CONTINUE THE PROJECT!
Yes, continue. I’ve been lurking around these videos for the longest time and I enjoy seeing where this project goes. It’s been fascinating to watch.
Yes please keep going, what you're doing is amazing and so informative. Thank you for everything you do.
Yes, this project is why I followed you in the first place. I love it!
The fuel rack adjuster is pure genius
I feel like he has one of the most active subscriber base when it comes to leaveing comments man deserves a easy million
I like the problem solving on this channel. Please continue and thanks.
Great job Jimbo! Yes! Please continue tinkering with the little diesel contraption 😂
