One of my favorite cars ever was my 4 eye, 4 door Foxbody midsize LTD from the 80's that I stuffed an OM617 Mercedes turbo Diesel into. It was a quirky combination, but once the bugs were worked out, it was just an all-around great car. I did the 5 lug upgrade, SN95 brakes, GM f-body aluminum radiator, junkyard turbo upgrade from a Volvo with an eBay compressor housing. It had (80's) style, decent performance and nearly 40 MPG. On my way to the shop, a gentleman in a full size OBS Chevy ran a red light and my Fox sacrificed itself to save me. It took 2 years to settle my claim. Because of the accident, I have a new scar, a fancy titanium plate in my neck where my bulging disc was, and another Foxbody LTD. Since my Diesel engine was damaged, I'm going the lazy route this time and swapping in a supercharged 6.0 LQ4 truck motor. My daily driver is a Honda Insight, so I am not worried about the lack of fuel economy in the LTD this time around. Oh, and it will have agreed value insurance when it hits the road. If I can fix my broken Diesel, I am thinking it needs to find its way into an old mail Jeep, or a Pinto station wagon. That would be fun!
@@oldcoot3459 In my home country, Albania, about 3/4ths of cars on the road are classic (60’s-90’s, W123/W124/W126) Mercedes, mostly Diesels and often run on waste veggie oil. They’re the only cars that offer most (if not all) features of a modern car, without any of the gimmicky excess, but in an analogue package which is infinitely serviceable & maintainable. I am a big supporter of producing Diesel grand tourers. My third favorite classic Diesels (after Mercedes & Peugeot) are Isuzu Turbo Diesels. Isuzu offered a Diesel engine in their 117 Coupé Grand Tourer, the first car company to do so.
@@calvinbarnes1721 LOL, My system is based on the ALDA. On my 1987 190 with a turbo diesel OM602 I removed all the junk that was between the waistgate and the ALDA. Basically directly connecting the boost reference to the ALDA. I was told its safe to do this because the stock turbo wont make more than 15 psi. The car ran great for years.
Amazing fuel economy for saving your money! The little fun fact, they measured it 3 liters per 100 km on the Volkswagen Lupo 3L model, it was used 1.2 liter three cylinder diesel engine with turbocharger and direct injection. It's almost the same fuel economy as you used to test that little fun Honda Insight modified!
JIMBO MOTORS actually left the Hillbilly proving ground and hit the highway?!? It really does show that you love these projects and I appreciate all the work you do. I think you've earned a government bailout since you're the best new American start-up
While my interactions with law enforcement have been minimal in my upper years while experimenting on the open road, having a bumper sticker channeling Bill Murray vis-a-vis "Back off man, I'm a scientist" goes a long way to explaining electrical passengers in the footwell. 👍
I should have done this a long time ago. What a fantastic channel, great projects and the best sense of humor. Thank you Jimbo for all of your work. Greetings from Arkansas.
We are all glad you enjoy doing these delightfully silly projects, as well as bringing us all along for the journey. Its a bummer youtube doesn't pay much for niche stuff like this, especially as the niche mechanical nerdery is really where my interests are, and where a network like youtube really should shine.
Good to see you back at it! Hope you had a good vacation. I know you pretty much make nothing doing these videos, but i think i can say that we all really appreciate the amount of time & effort you put into these projects
Seeing the insight pull onto the highway was surreal! I was not expecting it to get over 70 mph lol. Well worth the wait, Jimbo. Thanks for the great content as always
That's a bonkers MPG, and without doing a Plattner. Congrats! Shame on the big Car manufacturers that they can't come close to this, even with hybrids.
That Thermocouple board is easy to replace. I make BBq controllers and I have a K- Thermocouple board called the Adapter board connected to the main board using a Cat5 cable. I use the same components as that board you have it also has some other components that let's you manually adjust the temperature to the exact temperature and 2 meat probes. It also has connections for a blower and servo. This is all part of a project called the Heatermeter, which I have been with around 10 years.
I'm so fascinated with your projects. Even if some of it is above my head, you do a good job breaking it down. I wish I could do projects like you do myself. Keep up the great work. I look forward to the new videos every week.
Just wanted to say you are the reason i just got into Arduino's and all the fun things you can do with them! So thank you! Maybe you already know about these but I'd suggest a Nextion Touch screen display for your controller, Easy to make Gauges with, Dials, Controls, etc. and it can send data back to the arduino! It's "Cheap" to boot too!
There is a ton of stuff I could do and may do, but I need to keep the system as simple as possible during the prototyping stage. More stuff means more complications. although it would be nice to have a better display for sure.
I have following this series off an on for I can’t even remember how long now. I only watch like 1 out of ten videos… it’s amazing how far this project has come every time I watch the latest
Always good to see what you're up to on a Sunday morning! Thank you for your usual interesting laboratory reports. They make thermodynamics fun to think about, as you illustrate engine control systems from first principles in a way that books and articles can't do.
Thank you! My husband and I love your videos! The state of Kansas is beautiful! We stayed the night at a hotel last week while my family and I were on vacation.
I'm glad to hear you are starting a Patreon! TH-cam simply doesn't provide enough compensation to their creators in comparison to how much money they make themselves. To make high quality content, creators really need to have more funding. I'm happy to support you on Patreon!
This is the best channel to watch if you want to prepare for the apocalypse. Maybe you will need to build a three wheeler from a propane grill, a lawnmower, and a retracting patio shade? You don't know.

You are creating this content because of the right reasons. You love making the content and you are having fun doing it. As they say everything else is just gravy on top.

I FF or skip all commercials anyhow. Some people act like an in video ad read is enough to make them not watch anymore. Just hold down the 2x speed or skip right for the duration. I think the companies are wasting their money honestly. Not too many people watch or pay attention to the ads.
I want to see Air Conditioning, Quieter Exhaust & MOAAR Fuel Efficiency haha. (Nobody will know, nobody has to know) It's so good. Imagine if it was Hybrid too. ❤ Jimbo South Park Underpants Gnomes Thank You.
Thank you so much for sharing your projects with us :) It's good to see what different-thinking can create. Your electronic fuel trim set up is a re-invention of the mechanical aneroid. some diesel engines have those to reduce black smoke under part load conditions. It is a spring loaded valve that limits fuel rack travel until a set boost pressure is reached. it can look like a vacuum diaphragm cannister mounted to the injection pump with a small diameter tube going to the boost side of the air inlet tube (many look like an integrated part of the injector pump). The nice thing about your electronic system is the EGT fail-safe and the 99% automatic compensating adjustability without having to machine new parts. Keep up the experiments and I look forward to the next episode! 😊
Glad to hear you will be making more videos. I look forward to watching them with my sunday morning coffee. A lot of the electronic tech stuff goes over my head, but enjoy seeing it all. Great job.
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I appreciate that you provide us all this content to us at no cost. I myself am in no position to contribute myself beyond interaction trying to boost the Algo. From one viewer to many others, thank you for any and all help keeping one of my favorite creators going
I'm certainly glad you enjoy making these videos, because I thoroughly enjoy watching them. I have grown tired of the high dollar, high horsepower usual car related channels. These projects are really creative and very interesting. Cheers!
You have literally re-created DDEC 1 from the late Detroit Diesel Xv92 two stroke diesels. This has been absolutely fascinating to watch. Please keep going, I can't wait to see where all this leads to. You should add a turbocharger next and compound charge it, put a supercharger bypass once the turbo builds pressure.
You just compelled me to look up rozzer. According to the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries website. Rozzer is old British slang for a police officer. Thanks.
I am hoping to see some Hemholtz Resonator testing on the exhaust soon. Some simple pieces of closed end pipe with a 90-degree bend would be interesting.
I dont know ANYTHING about electronics, BUT! I wouldnt miss one of your vidios for ANYTHING!! I find ALL the things you do ABSOLUTLY FASINATING, THANK YOU 4 ALL YOU DO!! 😮😮✌👍👍💖💖💖🖒!!
As I was watching this video, I realized what you are doing is exactly what the car manufacturers have been doing for the past few years to meet the newest, and very stringent, fuel and emissions standards. They're Installing a way-too-small 4-cylinder engine in a full-sized SUV, then turbocharging and tuning the hell out of it so it can get that heavy car up to a decent speed on the road. It looks like 3-cylinder engines will be the future, Jimbo, and you're leading the way.
That performance result proves consistent with what Gale Banks claimed in his series where he pushed the Duramax to its limits. He said you'll get better performance if you aren't over-fuelling, which also explains your fuel economy improvement. Obviously you want to maximize the available air with your fuelling, but going beyond is counterproductive. It's interesting how too much fuel in a diesel has almost the same effect as running a gasoline engine lean.
Excellent!! Success!! This was a milestone video. So much fine-tuning going on! I bet that this can be a daily driver soon. Put the works back into the passenger side door for the window. We have a great fuel economy and the performance is getting better with each video. Maybe there can be something done with the exhaust to make the engine note a bit quieter without seriously messing up performance in the future? Yes, Jimbo, we have definitely switched from a fuel economy project to an all-around car with a tiny diesel. That's what we want! Keep up the great work!!
I hope you guys get the recognition you deserve! I would hate to see this channel succumb to the financial woes of a hungry content creator! Also, IDK how you got past that cop w those inspection stickers 😅🤣🤣

76 mpg 😮 that's truly impressive!
I CANT DRIVE 55, but this little Insight will all day long.
Amazing work Jimbo, honestly the best way to start you Sunday!
Spectacular fuel economy. I love watching videos of this little car.
Never clicked a notification so fast
And still ended up 9th place. Womp womp.
Thanks ! At least you are in the top 10!
You have literally re-created DDEC 1 from the late Detroit Diesel Xv92 two stroke diesels. This has been absolutely fascinating to watch. Please keep going, I can't wait to see where all this leads to. You should add a turbocharger next and compound charge it, put a supercharger bypass once the turbo builds pressure.
You just compelled me to look up rozzer. According to the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries website. Rozzer is old British slang for a police officer. Thanks.
@@darwinskeeper421 big fan of 'rozzers' here. Also, FYI, we sometimes use 'the fuzz'.
Still in common use in U. K. in N. Ireland we call em peelers.
I am well travelled and I don’t think I have ever heard ‘Rozzer’ being used outside the UK, other than by a ex-pats perhaps.
Thanks! Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Good results from the tests. Looking forward to more on this diesel Insight.
Awesome project. I don’t understand half or more of what you’re doing but you explain things well. Kudos.
Bravo!! Money isn't everything! I wish I had enough to sponsor you!
this project never fails to be interesting! keep up the good work
Keep up you great work. I'm always happy on Sunday when I know there is new robot cantina video.
I am hoping to see some Hemholtz Resonator testing on the exhaust soon. Some simple pieces of closed end pipe with a 90-degree bend would be interesting.
I dont know ANYTHING about electronics, BUT! I wouldnt miss one of your vidios for ANYTHING!! I find ALL the things you do ABSOLUTLY FASINATING, THANK YOU 4 ALL YOU DO!! 😮😮✌👍👍💖💖💖🖒!!
Thanks!!!!!!!
As I was watching this video, I realized what you are doing is exactly what the car manufacturers have been doing for the past few years to meet the newest, and very stringent, fuel and emissions standards. They're Installing a way-too-small 4-cylinder engine in a full-sized SUV, then turbocharging and tuning the hell out of it so it can get that heavy car up to a decent speed on the road. It looks like 3-cylinder engines will be the future, Jimbo, and you're leading the way.
this YT must become a legend ! I enjoy watching all the videos. Hello from France
That performance result proves consistent with what Gale Banks claimed in his series where he pushed the Duramax to its limits. He said you'll get better performance if you aren't over-fuelling, which also explains your fuel economy improvement. Obviously you want to maximize the available air with your fuelling, but going beyond is counterproductive. It's interesting how too much fuel in a diesel has almost the same effect as running a gasoline engine lean.
I love all your very well made content. Thanks for sharing all of what you do!
This is one of my favourite series on the internet!
Keep up the good work!
Great content, thanks again, I love the Arduino stuff, it feels like a logical extension of what you doing mechanically.
Nice to see your channel expand to 150k. I joined during the red saturn escapade
A nice Sunday with Jimbo.
Thanks man 👍💪✌
Excellent!! Success!! This was a milestone video. So much fine-tuning going on! I bet that this can be a daily driver soon. Put the works back into the passenger side door for the window. We have a great fuel economy and the performance is getting better with each video. Maybe there can be something done with the exhaust to make the engine note a bit quieter without seriously messing up performance in the future? Yes, Jimbo, we have definitely switched from a fuel economy project to an all-around car with a tiny diesel. That's what we want! Keep up the great work!!
70MPH and 70MPG! Pretty awesome.
I hope you guys get the recognition you deserve! I would hate to see this channel succumb to the financial woes of a hungry content creator! Also, IDK how you got past that cop w those inspection stickers 😅🤣🤣
As always, thanks for the direct conversions of units!
