I remember as a teenager I always had an interest in cars but didn't know much of how to work on them. I eventually went to trade school for another mechanical field. I learned how to troubleshoot electrical. Once TH-cam came on the scene I started watching alot of auto mechanics showing how to work on vehicles. Now I am comfortable working on my own cars and repairing them when they break. Bottom line is keep watching channels like this one, Eric the car guy, and Mustie1. It's basically free schooling for being a mechanic. 🙂
@classic Pontiac37 I'd recommend Fitzees Fabrication for any kind of rust repair if you haven't seen it. The guy is a great teacher. With TH-cam, I can't see people paying for a class. Watch a video, go out and do it. It's easy. From software engineering, to fixing a sink, to building an FIA legal roll cage, it's free. People are just lazy and need an excuse to go out and do something in my opinion.
I love that when you reach a small issue in your projects, you actually try to fix the issues instead of making everyone "wait until the next video" while still leaving the major parts of the progress being done for a separate episode
"People don't want to see a battery when they look under the hood, they want to see the little engine that could." I came up with that myself but you can use it. :)

About shutting the engine off... I work as a Microcar mechanic, these are little cars in Europe that you don't need a full license for and use a variety of small diesel engines, one of which is a Kubota Z402 which has a very similar injection pump. On these microcars there is a solonoid which actuates the shut-off switch and it's a really simple system. This is probably the same in the small tractors that use this or a similar Kubota engine.
Old SaturnFan forum poster here, if you reconnect the ECU power, and leave the VSS connected, it will register on the speedometer. That part of the ECU will continue to work even if it's doing nothing else.

Congrats on 100k! Re:”iT’s To SmAlL!” I’d like to remind them that you were looking at getting a D480 two cylinder diesel before I offered you the 722. As far as governor goes, it was a reefer unit engine, and was connected to the compressor via a clutch belt drive system. They had more than enough power to play with, so they derated the engine to increase its lifespan I imagine.
Turning up the governor would definitely take care of the speed issue, although, I'd be a bit worried about fuel delivery too. You may need a bigger fuel pump. Can't wait to see how it does with a turbo in it. On another note, congrats on your 100K subscriptions!!
Yeah a bigger lift pump like diesel Mercedes use is probably needed, some governor tuning and pump tuning and a turbo with intercooler would probably get around 100 foot pounds

I wish I had 1/4 the knowledge and 1/2 the equipment you possess. While I build both my shop and practical education, I'll be living vicariously through you. Thanks for another great installment. 👍🏼
on the front of the motor there is the fuel screw take it 1/4 turn richer and you will get 8hp-10hp more this engine had multiple power ratings all adjusted by the fuel and honestly you can go 3/4 turn anymore you run into area where EGT's become a bit of a issue and to go further you will need to turbo the motor and then you will be able to get way more than enough power to run 75mph or more. th-cam.com/video/7M6sVQLBzw4/w-d-xo.html
Yes and no all mechanical diesel engines when loaded from a idle will puff a slight bit of soot its more when your 1/2 throttle or so and you give the beans does it throw soot and if soot goes away shortly after you give the beans to it again mechanical diesels have a mechanical fuel governance in the injection pump basically a puff of soot is normal if its a constant soot you got to much.
I believe that engine has what’s called a jerk pump! I don’t think there’s a provision for adjusting the fuel setting. You could pull the pump, and put larger plunger and barrels in it. What he’s talking about in the video is governer settings. Increasing the rpm’s. Differant thing. And even if you can adjust fuel. On that small of an engine, you can’t adjust too much. Minimal hp gain, lots of black smoke.
He is adding a turbo so the added fuel is needed and yes there is a fuel adjustment and just so you know that motor was sold in several different power outputs only difference was fuel delivery increase there is currently like 5-10 hp on the table just by upping fuel and once turbo is added well that # will double.

I've had countless leaks in my fuel system on my tdi jetta. I finally installed a one way valve in the line going to the injection pump, and have not had the problem of leak down since.
I've been loving this series of videos stuffing tiny engines into cars. It's awesome to see this thing up and running finally! I bet it'll have no issues with speed on the road once it's got a nice little turbo strapped to it. Great job man.

There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world, because you realize there's so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on.
We engine swapped a snowmobile with a similar engine, a cat C1.1. We ran into the same problems with gearing and the governor. I ended up using a servo to run the fuel rack and a PID loop to run it all, cause the mechanical governor just wouldn’t cut it. If you do that make sure you don’t over rev it cause it will bend a push rod lol.
I'd say you figured out that the radiator is plenty big if it was able to send the temp gauge needle back to stone cold. I think you'll make a little more power with some heat in the engine too once you sort out the thermostat! Congrats on the 100k award!
Years ago I put a Kubota diesel in a Geo tracker 4x4. It was a joke but I ended up with MPG that will impress. I can't wait to see what we get with this project. Keep up the great job!

I had a diesel VW RABBIT 30 years ago and the heater never got hot enough for Ohio winters but 50 mpg was great. Fifth gear was barely usable because of the lack of power .
Jimbo, its clear to me you're applying several things you've learned on the insight on this car and it has made this series even more enjoyable! I can't wait to see what kind of tricks you pull out of your sleeve when you turbocharge this engine, especially for wastegate/boost control and pressure relief. I'm sure you already have tons of ideas. I am going to give you some brain waves I had for adding vacuum the brake booster that I am sure you've already considered. First, electric vacuum pumps will work great for creating a vacuum source, however, it would be an idea to get a vacuum canister to supply the vacuum to the booster. LOTS of forced induction cars use this, and even some cars use this for locks, 4-wheel drive actuators, and even headlights and wipers/cowl actuators(Damn you GM and the C3!). If you need any help sourcing OEM components I would be happy to help. There are also belt driven vacuum pumps that have been used on a lot of late model vehicles. I think this would be the most reliable vacuum source as they are 100% mechanical. Secondly, every vacuum brake booster usually has a check valve build in or has one in the supply. Provided the booster is in good shape, this would potentially reduce the need for constant vacuum, just something to keep in mind. Keep cranking out videos, can't get enough of these!
@@ThisIsReMarkable My 1976 Volvo had a camshaft-driven vacuum pump to guarantee enough assisted braking if the engine stalled. I think this feature was discontinued on later models.
This is way cooler than the K swap I wanted to treat my sw1 to. Unfortunately I ran out of money and space to keep the car so it went to the junkyard. Next time I'm finding a first gen. Not a second gen.
I watch nearly all the car, bike, engine build channels and this one is at the top of the list to watch first, I think it's off the wall mad scientist content that's so interesting and is the kinda stuff I aspire to.

Mr Robot, have a Google search if you haven't already for something called a Combination Box. On small Kuota's it controls the three systems of 'start', ;glow' and 'engine stop control'. the only other part missing I see on your engine is the stop solenoid. With these two items wired in, you could automate your install....or just go the cheaper route and just do switches. Thanks for the great video's!
Great stuff! A couple suggestions... Lose the paper inline filter back at the tank. They aren't rated for diesel and have very little surface area to be used as a primary filter. I use a Wix 33972 all-plastic filter for the pre-position. Its coarse at 50 microns, so it doesn't wad up quickly but will protect the pump from large debris. Under the hood, get a Kubota fuel pedestal from a U17 or U35 excavator, part #52200-26750 That will let you run a Wix 33390 final filter which is common and has lots of area and a 10-micron rating to keep your injectors happy. Don't expect much from that little permanent magnet alternator. They are only about 20 amps, I believe but are fairly reliable. It's not hard to mount up a 1 wire alternator or something from a Kubota machine to get into the 40-60 amp range which is more like what you'll need if you were to turn everything on at once.
Thanks for the heads up on the filter. We did a video on the little alternator a few months ago and indeed thay make about 20 amps. 20 amps should be plenty for this rig. Keep in mind we put the car together for experiments and we will not be driving it at night.

@@robotcantina8957 Cool beans! I also noticed your mechanical fuel pump block off plate. If you have any issues with fueling at or near the max power/redline, you can easily add a stock mechanical lift pump to get fuel through the system quicker and keep the injection pump filled. Many factory Kubota machines use the same setup, despite only needing to cover a couple feet of distance and often even with a slight gravity feed effect. Tank to prefilter/water catch, then an electric lift pump, then to the mechanical lift pump, then the final fuel filter and then the injection pump.

For the fuel cutoff lever, I would use a 12v solenoid that pulls it to the RUN position when energized, and a return spring that pulls it the other way when the key is turned off. This way it can be fully operated with the key instead of adding some choke-type pull/push cable on the cabin.

I cannot praise the engine high enough, brilliant little power boxes! With the heating, I could idle my 18 hp Yanmar 3 cyl tractor all day and still keep my hand on the radiator, but when working hard she warm up quickly enough!😀
Small Diesel engines like that don’t make a lot of heat at idle, the small amount of coolant that flows through the thermostat when closed may be enough to prevent the engine from reaching operating temp. I’m curious if it gets to the proper temp while driving.

If you want ultimate convenience for the glow plugs the Kubota makes a key cylinder with a glow plug switch inside it, all you have to do is turn the key so the glow plugs are on then turn the key all the way and the motor starts
Adjusting the max governed rpm is simple and easy, but you will also have to shim the injection pump to bump the timing up for 3600 rpm operation. You will also have to adjust the torque screw, to give the engine more fuel per stroke. Also, that little electric fuel pump will supply plenty of fuel for the D722. I put a Kubota V1405 in a 1980 Triumph Spitfire. Added a turbo, injection pump camshaft advance timer, shimming the pump timing, and adjusted all three fuel delivery screws to make this engine rev to 4000 rpm, and produce 80 hp with 22 pounds of boost.

I back my governor bolt all the way out,then ground down the nut and throttle arm for just a little extra, then cranked the fuel screw a few turns, my little z482 was a screamer lol got that sonoma right up to speed quick, ended up getting it to go 52 but was out of gear not bad for 13hp
Let's keep in mind that the power figures on Kubota's dyno tests are most likely rated from the crank and not from a gearbox in which some power is lost, but it's nothing that you can't work out next time. This is a great series and the silver play button award is well deserved.

A turbo and manifold for the D-1105T theoretically should work on your 722. But it’ll need some more fuel, and with that comes the need for a pyrometer, it’s much easier to put one in a manifold on a table than on an engine with the turbo already mounted, I wish someone would have told me that before I attempted it.
The weirdest thing is to put the throttle to the floor, let it rev until it hits the governor, keep the throttle on the floor, push in the clutch and take your sweet old time to shift into another gear, let clutch out. Definitely a tractor! I had to add springs to the Kubota governor flyball unit to get it to see 3700 rpm. Mine was set at 1800 rpm to power a light tower. I used the engine mounted diaphragm fuel pump to provide vacuum to the brake master cylinder unit. Not bad, but way better than using 2 feet to push the brake lever. Keep up the good work!
I'm really glad I found this channel. I have a 120 mile commute to work and I'm looking at building a diesel commuter car. Probably out of a C5 Corvette.
Great video Jimbo, and congrats on 100k! Since you were complaining about no heater, and it is winter, how about removing the radiator and connecting the engine coolant lines to the heater core? Then your heater fan speed will have some control over engine temperature.
I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year.
You don't need the governor. Just use a cable to pull the fuel lever directly from the accelerator pedal to the injection pump and use a return spring to return the lever, it will work perfect. 👌
My 81VW Rabbit Diesel had 48 horsepower and a 4 speed manual. It was a high revving diesel and was spinning at 5400rpm at 80mph....basically screaming at the top of it's lungs.
Just to let you know: usually turbocharged Diesel engines have nozzles in the crankase that spray the bottom of the pistons with engine oil to keep em cool. (VW, Mercedes) Looking forward to see the manufacturing process off theese😜

I wish I had 1/4 the knowledge and 1/2 the equipment you possess. While I build both my shop and practical education, I'll be living vicariously through you. Thanks for another great installment. 👍🏼
on the front of the motor there is the fuel screw take it 1/4 turn richer and you will get 8hp-10hp more this engine had multiple power ratings all adjusted by the fuel and honestly you can go 3/4 turn anymore you run into area where EGT's become a bit of a issue and to go further you will need to turbo the motor and then you will be able to get way more than enough power to run 75mph or more.

Yes and no all mechanical diesel engines when loaded from a idle will puff a slight bit of soot its more when your 1/2 throttle or so and you give the beans does it throw soot and if soot goes away shortly after you give the beans to it again mechanical diesels have a mechanical fuel governance in the injection pump basically a puff of soot is normal if its a constant soot you got to much.
we used to do that with older Volkswagen TD engine! :) the important thing is to keep an eye on the EGT!
I believe that engine has what’s called a jerk pump! I don’t think there’s a provision for adjusting the fuel setting. You could pull the pump, and put larger plunger and barrels in it. What he’s talking about in the video is governer settings. Increasing the rpm’s. Differant thing. And even if you can adjust fuel. On that small of an engine, you can’t adjust too much. Minimal hp gain, lots of black smoke.
He is adding a turbo so the added fuel is needed and yes there is a fuel adjustment and just so you know that motor was sold in several different power outputs only difference was fuel delivery increase there is currently like 5-10 hp on the table just by upping fuel and once turbo is added well that # will double.
@@michaelnelson9140 watch the video I linked in my original post it shows step by step how to turn the fuel up so yes it is able to be adjusted.

Just discovered this project. What a cool thing! I've got a Scag lawn mower with the larger D1105 engine and it is FANTASTIC.
I've had countless leaks in my fuel system on my tdi jetta. I finally installed a one way valve in the line going to the injection pump, and have not had the problem of leak down since.
I've been loving this series of videos stuffing tiny engines into cars. It's awesome to see this thing up and running finally! I bet it'll have no issues with speed on the road once it's got a nice little turbo strapped to it. Great job man. Never thought I'd get excited to watch video after video of slow saturns and insights haha

There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world, because you realize there's so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on.
We engine swapped a snowmobile with a similar engine, a cat C1.1. We ran into the same problems with gearing and the governor. I ended up using a servo to run the fuel rack and a PID loop to run it all, cause the mechanical governor just wouldn’t cut it. If you do that make sure you don’t over rev it cause it will bend a push rod lol.
I'd say you figured out that the radiator is plenty big if it was able to send the temp gauge needle back to stone cold. I think you'll make a little more power with some heat in the engine too once you sort out the thermostat! Congrats on the 100k award!
Years ago I put a Kubota diesel in a Geo tracker 4x4. It was a joke but I ended up with MPG that will impress. I can't wait to see what we get with this project. Keep up the great job!

I had a diesel VW RABBIT 30 years ago and the heater never got hot enough for Ohio winters but 50 mpg was great. Fifth gear was barely usable because of the lack of power .
Jimbo, its clear to me you're applying several things you've learned on the insight on this car and it has made this series even more enjoyable!
I can't wait to see what kind of tricks you pull out of your sleeve when you turbocharge this engine, especially for wastegate/boost control and pressure relief. I'm sure you already have tons of ideas.
I am going to give you some brain waves I had for adding vacuum the brake booster that I am sure you've already considered. First, electric vacuum pumps will work great for creating a vacuum source, however, it would be an idea to get a vacuum canister to supply the vacuum to the booster. LOTS of forced induction cars use this, and even some cars use this for locks, 4-wheel drive actuators, and even headlights and wipers/cowl actuators(Damn you GM and the C3!). If you need any help sourcing OEM components I would be happy to help. There are also belt driven vacuum pumps that have been used on a lot of late model vehicles. I think this would be the most reliable vacuum source as they are 100% mechanical.
Secondly, every vacuum brake booster usually has a check valve build in or has one in the supply. Provided the booster is in good shape, this would potentially reduce the need for constant vacuum, just something to keep in mind.
Keep cranking out videos, can't get enough of these!
The VW ALH diesel's vacuum pump runs directly off of the camshaft, no belt involved. I didn't realize that was unusual!
@@ThisIsReMarkable My 1976 Volvo had a camshaft-driven vacuum pump to guarantee enough assisted braking if the engine stalled. I think this feature was discontinued on later models.
Congrats.

Mr Robot, have a Google search if you haven't already for something called a Combination Box. On small Kuota's it controls the three systems of 'start', ;glow' and 'engine stop control'. the only other part missing I see on your engine is the stop solenoid. With these two items wired in, you could automate your install....or just go the cheaper route and just do switches. Thanks for the great video's!
Great idea!
@@JerryWick AWESOME VIDEO YET AGAIN, JIMBO.. I love these experiments and

Great stuff!
A couple suggestions...
Lose the paper inline filter back at the tank. They aren't rated for diesel and have very little surface area to be used as a primary filter. I use a Wix 33972 all-plastic filter for the pre-position. Its coarse at 50 microns, so it doesn't wad up quickly but will protect the pump from large debris.
Under the hood, get a Kubota fuel pedestal from a U17 or U35 excavator, part #52200-26750 That will let you run a Wix 33390 final filter which is common and has lots of area and a 10-micron rating to keep your injectors happy.
Don't expect much from that little permanent magnet alternator. They are only about 20 amps, I believe but are fairly reliable. It's not hard to mount up a 1 wire alternator or something from a Kubota machine to get into the 40-60 amp range which is more like what you'll need if you were to turn everything on at once.
Thanks for the heads up on the filter. We did a video on the little alternator a few months ago and indeed thay make about 20 amps. 20 amps should be plenty for this rig. Keep in mind we put the car together for experiments and we will not be driving it at night.

@@robotcantina8957 Cool beans!
I also noticed your mechanical fuel pump block off plate. If you have any issues with fueling at or near the max power/redline, you can easily add a stock mechanical lift pump to get fuel through the system quicker and keep the injection pump filled. Many factory Kubota machines use the same setup, despite only needing to cover a couple feet of distance and often even with a slight gravity feed effect. Tank to prefilter/water catch, then an electric lift pump, then to the mechanical lift pump, then the final fuel filter and then the injection pump.

For the fuel cutoff lever, I would use a 12v solenoid that pulls it to the RUN position when energized, and a return spring that pulls it the other way when the key is turned off. This way it can be fully operated with the key instead of adding some choke-type pull/push cable on the cabin.
That’s a good idea

Small Diesel engines like that don’t make a lot of heat at idle, the small amount of coolant that flows through the thermostat when closed may be enough to prevent the engine from reaching operating temp. I’m curious if it gets to the proper temp while driving.

If you want ultimate convenience for the glow plugs the Kubota makes a key cylinder with a glow plug switch inside it, all you have to do is turn the key so the glow plugs are on then turn the key all the way and the motor starts
Adjusting the max governed rpm is simple and easy, but you will also have to shim the injection pump to bump the timing up for 3600 rpm operation. You will also have to adjust the torque screw, to give the engine more fuel per stroke. Also, that little electric fuel pump will supply plenty of fuel for the D722.
I put a Kubota V1405 in a 1980 Triumph Spitfire. Added a turbo, injection pump camshaft advance timer, shimming the pump timing, and adjusted all three fuel delivery screws to make this engine rev to 4000 rpm, and produce 80 hp with 22 pounds of boost.
Turbo diesel Spitfire.... lol. As I recall my '79 made about 55hp with the 1.5l iron lump under the bonnet.

I back my governor bolt all the way out,then ground down the nut and throttle arm for just a little extra, then cranked the fuel screw a few turns, my little z482 was a screamer lol got that sonoma right up to speed quick, ended up getting it to go 52 but was out of gear not bad for 13hp
Let's keep in mind that the power figures on Kubota's dyno tests are most likely rated from the crank and not from a gearbox in which some power is lost, but it's nothing that you can't work out next time. This is a great series and the silver play button award is well deserved.

A turbo and manifold for the D-1105T theoretically should work on your 722. But it’ll need some more fuel, and with that comes the need for a pyrometer, it’s much easier to put one in a manifold on a table than on an engine with the turbo already mounted, I wish someone would have told me that before I attempted it.
The weirdest thing is to put the throttle to the floor, let it rev until it hits the governor, keep the throttle on the floor, push in the clutch and take your sweet old time to shift into another gear, let clutch out. Definitely a tractor! I had to add springs to the Kubota governor flyball unit to get it to see 3700 rpm. Mine was set at 1800 rpm to power a light tower. I used the engine mounted diaphragm fuel pump to provide vacuum to the brake master cylinder unit. Not bad, but way better than using 2 feet to push the brake lever. Keep up the good work!
I'm really glad I found this channel. I have a 120 mile commute to work and I'm looking at building a diesel commuter car. Probably out of a C5 Corvette.
Great video Jimbo, and congrats on 100k! Since you were complaining about no heater, and it is winter, how about removing the radiator and connecting the engine coolant lines to the heater core? Then your heater fan speed will have some control over engine temperature.
for a "wham-bam" solution idea that's brilliant!
I think it would be easier to just wire up a cheapo electric heater.
