[@Burroughsbikebuilds]

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.

[@DasNik25]

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.

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.

[@leifhietala8074]

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.

[@Paulster2]

@@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.

[@Roomsaver]

@@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

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.

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.

[@toddmoore8808]

A little more timing is exactly what I was going to suggest. Too much fuel still burning as it’s leaving the cylinder.

[@laserhawk64]

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.

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.

[@jaden.sanderson]

Wow. That yellow 1969 Firebird for $900. Times have for sure changed

[@cmuller1441]

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.

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.

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.

[@ocdman202]

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.

[@ocdman202]

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?

We make our own Diesel fuel using waste Veggie-Oil that has settled for two weeks and filtered down to 25 microns. We add 20% gasoline and filter to 1 micron and use it in our diesel generator. All of our filters are made of polyester and are cleanable and reusable. So, we have an efficient generator and cheap fuel that cost between 3-9 cents per kilowatt hour depending on if it is a 10% summer or 30% winter blend. We live in Michigan where the grid is 17.4 cents per Kilowatt Hour. So, this cost is less than the power grid. Veggie-Oil burns better then Diesel and produces more power.

I’ve been checking back every other day waiting for the next installment in this series

[@AlienLivesMatter]

Heavy flywheel weights compared to standard and light would be an interesting comparison at this power level.

[@Tommysmess]

Easily the best build series on youtube, I could watch your videos for hours and not get bored

[@cibbirt1348]

god cant wait to see the performance gain with the charge air cooler, probably gonna be much stronger even at the same boost.

[@tomppeli.]

I was very confused to see your video in my feed, because I had forgotten I'd subscribed, but I'm happy I did

[@oliverscorsim]

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.

[@DC_DC_DC_DC]

These are two ideas that i verify are worthwhile doing

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Really like the Saturn Diesel Swap project. Looking forward to seeing how the Honda Insite project performs. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@carllinden533]

Your videos scratch an itch I can't quite explain

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

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.

[@Cowboy.underwater]

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.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

A diesel 3cyl is actually a really good combination:)

[@OVERTIMEPROFORMANCE]

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

[@WolfgangR75]

I am so happy that U make it in metric and Celsius to. I really enjoyed the video. Keep on...

[@bigworm84]

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.

[@Eluderatnight]

14psi would be more than safe on a diesel.

[@miltonulm5102]

It can definitely handle 15psi maybe 20-25psi with some risk, he can definitely grind the piston rings down for more boost

[@bigworm84]

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.

[@DC_DC_DC_DC]

​@@bigworm84 this is totally right!

[@mommapanda5736]

CONGRATULATIONS ROBOT CANTINA on another great video!!👍👍👍 Are there any new project cars in the future?🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙@@DC_DC_DC_DC

[@kansasrose2909]

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.

[@kansasrose2909]

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.

[@kansasrose2909]

Set a reminder to review your intentions every morning or evening.

[@kansasrose2909]

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.

[@kansasrose2909]

This is a practice, and it doesn’t come naturally to most of us.

[@davidparrish1133]

Oh man! The very first car I bought new was a '78 Plymouth TC3 in the exact same colors. (The color was called 'Flame Red'. Nah. It was ORANGE with a flat black lower.) Put 117k miles on it before I sold it. Now I rebuild Diesel cars for a hobby. Knew you had good taste... ?

[@NuffMan_]

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

[@madmod]

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.

[@psychedelicserpents6223]

Just got good deal on a used d722 in a TG1860 lawn tractor that I want to turbo charge and swap into my golf cart. Never worked on a diesel, added a turbo or done an engine swap but I want to learn. As a result I found your channel. Ive watched a couple of your videos and Ive already learned a ton! I can tell they are going to very helpful for my project! Thank you for putting together these videos they are well edited and very thorough.

[@mommapanda5736]

Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience. So fantastic you got a good deal and now you can swap. So right about Jimbo and his videos...👍
