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.
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.
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!

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.

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. 👍
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!

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.
Hey Jimbo, if you read this, maybe you could look into tiny Lifan engines. In my country weird people like me like to drive carrier mopeds (look up Gazelle Apollo for an idea, it's like a pickup bed with a motorcycle attached to the back of it). We commonly use 90-125CC Lifan 4 stroke engines to power these things. There are even some with reverse. They usually weigh in around 600 pounds and can carry 1100 pounds. Might be a cool platform for a next project. I've had an actual car with an 800CC engine (Chevrolet Matiz) so that this engine works doesn't surprise me at all.
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.
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.
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! 😊
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'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.
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'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!
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!
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.
For those of you wondering On engine electrical components the term "12 volt" changes depending on whether the component is supposed to be on while the engine is cranking, if it's on whenever you're running or used intermittently. Because your battery is between 12.1-12.6 volts before you turn the key on. Then it drops down to 10.5 volts while cranking. Your alternator maintains 14.25-14.50 while running So most headlights are rated at 12.8 volts Shift solenoids and sensors for closed loop operation are usually 14 volts. The relay for the starter is 9 volts. There's almost nothing on a car that's actually rated at 12.0 volts
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
You react to the cops like a minority with multiple felony warrants. I'm no blue line boot licker, and have even been falsely arrested, but I can't figured out why you're SO worried. I don't know about your state, but where I live (Florida) everything you're doing is completely legal and the cops would think it's cool.
Thanks for the boost ! I avoid interacting with the police because technically everything these days is illegal. Most cops are awesome people, but you never know when you will come across someone on a power trip. A closer look at my car will generate a long list of violations if the officer knows what he is looking at.
@@robotcantina8957 I assume you know your state's laws and are technically correct. That's unfortunate. For example, in Florida, emissions systems requirements are based on the year of the VIN. Federal law allowed straight pipe diesels through 2007. So you'd be fine there. Not sure whatever laws would be a concern.
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 think its a decent idea setting up a system where your viewers, if are so inclined, could chip in a few bucks to help out your channel. You create really awesome and educational content, and at the rate you go through ABS plastic filament I think you need all of the support you can get. On the plus side you haven’t resorted to shilling for man-scaping products just yet to get your next arduino upgrade.
It wouldn't even bother me honestly. Make that money. If it were me, I wouldn't push just any product, but if it was something I use and believe in I would certainly consider it. 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.
3L per 100km is a great achievement considering you did this in your own garage alone, but Volkswagen spend millions and a great team to do the same. Chapeau!
I love that enclosure for the electronics, especially the fact there's fans all over. Also love the fact you have different modes and a display showing everything. Really nice stuff, definitely shows you're no noob at it.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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!! 😮😮✌👍👍💖💖💖🖒!!
Hi. I finally tested my 3D printed electric supercharger in my beater Hyundai. Works awesome with some extra fuel yoloed in there with an extra injector. Gave ~4-5 psi boost. High power SSS RC boat motor and 6S lipo battery and giant centrifugal 3D printed blower.

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.
Alright time for Sunday church! Preach the truth father Jimbo 🤣

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.
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! 😊
I’m surprised that little thing made it to 71mph! The wizardry in the simple, yet complex fuel tuning is awesome!
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'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.
You need one of those truck stop fans to keep you cool. It will just bleed in with everything else. 😎
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'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!
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!
Glad you like them!
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.
For those of you wondering
On engine electrical components the term "12 volt" changes depending on whether the component is supposed to be on while the engine is cranking, if it's on whenever you're running or used intermittently.
Because your battery is between 12.1-12.6 volts before you turn the key on.
Then it drops down to 10.5 volts while cranking.
Your alternator maintains 14.25-14.50 while running
So most headlights are rated at 12.8 volts
Shift solenoids and sensors for closed loop operation are usually 14 volts.
The relay for the starter is 9 volts.
There's almost nothing on a car that's actually rated at 12.0 volts
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
One of the things I look forward to each week. Thank you Robot Cantina for the content! Love it.
You react to the cops like a minority with multiple felony warrants. I'm no blue line boot licker, and have even been falsely arrested, but I can't figured out why you're SO worried. I don't know about your state, but where I live (Florida) everything you're doing is completely legal and the cops would think it's cool.
Thanks for the boost ! I avoid interacting with the police because technically everything these days is illegal. Most cops are awesome people, but you never know when you will come across someone on a power trip. A closer look at my car will generate a long list of violations if the officer knows what he is looking at.
@@robotcantina8957 I assume you know your state's laws and are technically correct. That's unfortunate.
For example, in Florida, emissions systems requirements are based on the year of the VIN. Federal law allowed straight pipe diesels through 2007. So you'd be fine there. Not sure whatever laws would be a concern.
$0.25/hr?!?! Well, here is a full weeks salary! 😅 I know we all appreciate the content.
Thank you so much!
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 think its a decent idea setting up a system where your viewers, if are so inclined, could chip in a few bucks to help out your channel. You create really awesome and educational content, and at the rate you go through ABS plastic filament I think you need all of the support you can get.
On the plus side you haven’t resorted to shilling for man-scaping products just yet to get your next arduino upgrade.
Thanks, I love money, but draw the line when it comes to shilling for unnecessary products.
It wouldn't even bother me honestly. Make that money. If it were me, I wouldn't push just any product, but if it was something I use and believe in I would certainly consider it.
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.
3L per 100km is a great achievement considering you did this in your own garage alone, but Volkswagen spend millions and a great team to do the same. Chapeau!
I love that enclosure for the electronics, especially the fact there's fans all over. Also love the fact you have different modes and a display showing everything. Really nice stuff, definitely shows you're no noob at it.
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.
Its been fun watching Jimbo doing automotive engineering stuff. 👍
The enclosures you made look great!
TH-cam should really be showing your channel to more people, I'm sure alot more people would enjoy this channel if they saw it
That's some slick programming Jimbo! It's amazing what one can achieve with software! Impressive gain in acceleration along with great fuel economy! 👌
It's a very interesting and educational channel, and with quirky comments that make me smile 👍😁❤️
Thanks Jimbo.
Thank you so much!
Well done on the control system :)
Thank you so much!
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
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 always appreciate your hard work and 2 weeks isn’t that long you deserve it
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.
Thanks!
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!!
this project never fails to be interesting! keep up the good work
76 mpg 😮 that's truly impressive!
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!!!!!!!
Hi. I finally tested my 3D printed electric supercharger in my beater Hyundai. Works awesome with some extra fuel yoloed in there with an extra injector. Gave ~4-5 psi boost. High power SSS RC boat motor and 6S lipo battery and giant centrifugal 3D printed blower.
He had us in the second half for sure! Very exciting
Good results from the tests. Looking forward to more on this diesel Insight.
Sunday morning content at it's best. Thanks!
Well done!
Your highway speed seems to be in about the same realm as my 850cc,1964, Mini
Looking forward to Patreon info! I absolutely love your videos and the work you do.
Thank you very much!
Amazing work Jimbo, honestly the best way to start you Sunday!
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.
