This guy puts a Cummins Diesel Engine in a Toyota Prius, just because he can. Who needs an electric engine when you can swap a 4bt 3.9L Cummins turbo diesel.
Haha this is awesome. I have a Prius and a Ram 2500. It’s funny how different people drive around me depending on what vehicle I am in. Shallow society we live in.
So true people don’t believe me when I tell em people cut me off in the right lane on my daily BUT on my weekend Lexus it’s all Gucci Gonna build a diesel truck soon
Makes me proud to be from Wisconsin...almost brings a tear to my eye. Kina ironic that you can buy a 4BT crate engine for about the cost of the "environmentally friendly" batteries that have to be replaced in a prius at 100k-150k miles. (battery $3000-$4500 + labor) Then replace it again in 100k-150k miles. That 4BT could easily waaay outlast multiple battery changes....so I ask, "which one is more environmentally friendly?"
@@hondaguy9153 Don't bother, the "rolling coal" people don't understand how much diesel particulates contribute to ground level pollution levels and increase the cancer risk of everyone within breathing distance. Even though its been LONG established that diesel exhaust is way worse than gasoline exhaust for cancer. That being said it doesn't increase greenhouse emissions as much.
@@hondaguy9153 the rate at which diesel is burned is actually more efficient and less of a pollutant than gas. And all the strip mining for lithium to make an electric cars battery is worse for the envoronment between people working to mine, the mining itself, shipping, creating the battery, shipping the battery, putting it in the car
@@StyxxxxRiver no it's not. Diesel is INCREDIBLY damaging to air quality and specifically to your lungs. Lithium is not strip mined. Go read something besides faux news and pro fossil fuel propaganda. Yeah, lithium extraction is not the best for the environment. It uses a lot of water and it's generally found in very dry places. Cobalt and nickel mining are horrible processes because they're done by people who are either slaves or paid very little with few of any safety precautions. Thankfully battery technology and human rights are evolving.
@@StyxxxxRiver also you want to talk about steps? Setting up and operating a drill rig, drill for crude oil, spill the oil, transport it, spill it some more, refine it (lots of fossil fuel consumed to heat the crude and separate it) spill some more, transport it, pump it into a tank, pump it out of the tank to burn. Probably spill some more. Once it's burned it's gone. Batteries can be recharged thousands of times and recycled or used for grid storage at the end of their useful (for a car) life.
I saw a diesel geo metro with a tractor engine but this is wayyy cooler. Equally worthless car given a second life in the most wrong but amazing way possible. The tree huggers would rather you throw the car in the trash but you recycled it breaking their little brains.
