Our Cheap Temu Turbo Diesel Go Kart Gets Performance Upgrades (It Rips!!) 

Super! You figured out how to make a methanol injection system work! Now, all you need is a secondary Nitro Oxide system to add to your deseil engine. You turn on the NOS after the methanol system is on. Poof! More pow'wa! Make a spacer plate between the intake manifold and the carburator and drill out holes for the NOS inlets. Hook up a hose to the inlet tubes from the NOS bottle relay switch.

Whenever I see Ike with out a hat I can help but to think how much he looks like Will Ferrell in *A Night At The Roxbury* 🤣

Anyone else notice the extra smoke at the end?

Was in s.c. Now I’m in Augusta ga. Proving power for fuel station. I’ve road out 9 hurricanes in my hotshot truck. It’s fulfilling to say the least.

0:23 - wheel barrow hot rod on the table!! i want to see that one!

Watching your channel is like an inspiring adventure that never ends. Keep leading us into the wonderful world of your creativity!🤝💫❤️

I agree with Ike, nitrous isn't fuel methanol is fuel. because diesels don't carburetors a person is going have to adjust the nozzle/jet. that squirts the alternative fuel. I was an OTR truck driver, and the trucks that I have driven 1000°exhaust temperatures would be somewhat high. on a semi truck engine on a hard pull up a steep grade. and because diesel truck engines are liquid cooled. a person should notice the coolant temperature will rise along with the exhaust temperature. and a normal diesel truck engine should produce a lot of black smoke under a heavy load. not as much smoke when there's not much load on the engine. that's why if you watch a truck as it's going though the gears. each shift you will notice a lot of black smoke that will disapate untill the next shift. and if you smell raw diesel fuel you know it's over fueling? and that can cause exhaust stack fires. in other words flames coming out of the stacks and you want keep that to a minimum. note what I have just said pertains to diesel truck engines. and this could be different for a small diesel engine. something else about exhaust temperature. is you shouldn't turn off a turbocharged diesel engine. with a high exhaust temperature because it will melt down the exhaust side of the turbocharger.

Propane is better power adder for diesel engines

Guys this project is so cool honestly bravo. I have at one time heard about propane adding performance with diesel engines but I'm just thinking out loud. Thanks again for making this content, fellas!

Happy wednesday everyone 👋 May god keep everyone affected safe 🙏

You can use a fish tank air needle valve for the injection nozzle.

I really appreciate your work and professionalism. Your videos always stand out from the crowd.♀️🏀🌪

I would recommend considering adding an air to air intercooler for the turbski. And find a way to crank that fuel up! Turbo Diesels are simple. You add more fuel, they will give you more power

Absolutely loving this build and experience

I said in your last video that this needed a torque converter. Comments said, nOt EnOuGh RpM 😅

Suggestion john, when tig welding you always whenever you can have your torch hand supported so you dont shake at all

Sincerely happy to hear that your safe 🎉

Cars and cameras I love you! It's 11.30pm here in the UK and I wait up every Wednesday night for your upload 😂 og follow since day one! Don't stop what your doing can't wait for the future for John and Iscac and the cars and cameras crew

Conventional Windshield washer fluid is also good for water/meth injection and is cheap. Also heet

So happy that you guys and gal are ok.

The smoke rings are awesome!!! 😁

On these Diesels you don’t adjust the fuel quantity by the shims, you adjust the governor arm backstop screw on the outside of the engine. Adjusting shims adjusts timing. The stock fuel tank on these engines is junk, & restrictive. I got rid of mine, & it runs smoother.

Pinballprepardness is really helping people with food and water he has receipts too to show the love he has for this 🌎 💪🏼💯

I absolutely love this channel,y’all come up with the craziest builds and your content is always entertaining,thanks for all of the years of awesome entertainment!!!

Jack shaft operator spring line shaft always a best pratice to grab the hinge and shake make sure door isnt tight in track or your wood jambs Im a door guy been working on big 22'x14' doors for 9 years

I am glad to hear you are okay!

The big screw sticking out the side of the throttle plate is the speed adjustment. There is A PCV valve in the valve cover. You have to block it off or your boost will go into the crankcase.

I’m in Georgia and still out of power and will be for the next two weeks. Glad y’all were unscathed

That diesel engine is amazing. Way faster than i thought it would be.

Just had a random thought about ol Charles. Do you all still talk or hang out at all after he left? Would love to see him back for a ride or race or something

Guys, you can reduce the torque and the diesel shock load going to the 40 series by putting the driver pulley on a jackshaft that's overdriven with a belt or chain directly from the crankshaft. Then use normal petrol gearing from the driven pulley to the axle.

Awesome stuff guys! All of the people in comments please take a minute and report all the bots. Do your part to reduce The Enshittification!

You should absolutely put that exhaust tip on. Some diesel people put 55 gallon cans on their trucks for exhaust tips. It's a diesel got to get a little silly.

So glad you guys are safe and well so take care and keep up the good works.

Ole Smokey Rolls again!

gota love Ike........ "John i need my notes from the deisel kart.....bring me the floorjack" ....lol

Exhaust gasses are essentially unburned fuel. Black smoke, lots of unburned fuel. clearish white smoke, less unburned fuel

May be try the Ethanol injection after the turbo. The ethanol will evaporate fast and cool the air. On trucks the after cooler is after the turbo. Just a thought. Great project.

did John have to take time off to be in "Nobody Wants This?" I'm surprised they didn't feature gokarts in it lol

I miss the old days of C&C when they actually built stuff instead of modifying!

the only downside with nitrous and a diesel is, more power.

Buddy, the secret to TIG welding is to prop yourself such that you're comfortable and stable. Having your arms up in the air like that is going to make it really hard to get a good weld and it's a miserable experience. Move the piece you're welding farther down the table, get your arms and elbows propped on something and hold a really tight arc--no bigger than the size of the electrode. If you're using a 3/32 electrode you want to be that closer or closer to the weld pool. Having a long arc is going to cause all kinds of problems and it just makes it a sucky experience.

Bonus mosquito fumigation for the property! Edit: I paused and posted that and as soon as I unpaused it he said “Well I don’t have to put on any bug spray today.” 😂😂😂

When is the dirt drag rail coming back?

Methanol really needs to be injected at a very fine mist via a high pressure pump to get the full benefit. Also, it should be injected after the turbo so that the compressor doesn't just sling it to the outside of the compressor cover and cause puddling.

I would love to spend an hour with you on the Tig. Improve your skill set 🙂🙂 I live in TN also

So the exhaust pipe should be bigger in diameter, even though the port is the same size, you have to think of it like the Venturi effect of a carburetor. But you will also get better boost pressure too if you put a barrel in line of the intake runner, the barrel could be pretty much the same size as that fuel tank you have under the steering wheel. This will cavitate boost between cycle strokes, giving it higher consistent boost.

Great for mosquito and tick control side work.

I like that you are going back to your beginnings. Keep it up thats what got you here

Can you please pimp out the king midget with air bag's, rims and paint job? A good sound system wouldn't hurt either!

You should make a semi and trailer go-kart with the engine and transport your bikes and other karts!

I'ma have my kids a ripper cuz of y'all teach me alot of fun stuff

do a twin compound turbo setup 😈😈😈

The smoke rings are hilarious lol

I don't know if it'll make it go any faster but it's cool.

Put the methanol button underneath the throttle, put the petal to the floor, get extra fuel

that thing needs a tractor flap on the exhaust

Counting the mins on the pillow blocks twisting or motor gets blowed up by Isaac. Sorry Isaac love ya buddy. But we all know you break stuff 🤣🤣🤣

*TWO STROKE SCOOTER BUILD*

More Gwen content. Please. Get her on the really fast rides. Awesome diesel cart by the way

You should make the end threaded so you can just change actual carb jets into the end

It needs a green spring on the driven side of the torque converter

Gotta keep that belt dry, I'd suggest making a cover for it.

That’s a pretty sweet looking bmw we can call it a go cart

You should try out a manual clutch. You did a video awhile back about the 3D Motorsport clutch. Try it on the diesel!

I'd like to put a tuned Puch E50 on one of those karts. Something with 16-18hp.

Propane is better then nos for diesel. If you make a fuel cooler .Mini intercooler with a electric fan .

You want the EGT to be POST turbo, not between the engine and turbo...As the housing is a "restrictor", the exhaust temp will increase....Make it after the turbo for a more accurate reading...

Weld the wastegate on the turbo shut, it’ll make all the boost.

A bigger charge pipe might help build more boost

Hey John and Issac Thank you for including our phone conversation in tonight's video. Where does Isaac's friends live up here?

jokes about the exhaust tip, then shows a stainless drink bottle on the table that would be perfectly sized with a couple of cuts...

Woohoo my dudes making stuff do stuff 😂

Support the output shaft of the cvt

Many of the best Thai long-tail river racing boats have diesel engines.

Y’all should try to lean off the fuel ur letting the pump put into the engine. If a Diesel gets too much fuel it smokes, & losses power. I have an L70 that’s non turbo rn, & I had turned the fuel up a little but I got tired of it smoking, so I turned down the fuel. It starts better, & has more power. I think a problem is that it’s choking from too much fuel, the turbo helps but because it’s still smoking at boost means u have the fuel turned up too high. Suggestions: -turn down the fuel screw -mix engine oil with the fuel that adds energy to the fuel. Same fuel more bang -less rpm

If its blowing black smoke you need more air. Its that simple. Methanol is just more fuel and higher EGT. More boost is the answer.

I wanna make a compound turbo kit for it!

Please do a compound turbo setup.

In diesels more fuel DOES NOT mean more power all the time, if you don't have enough then yes, too much will limit HP considerably. Justa smidge of smoke is about good

Got the perfect name for the diesel cart. DragonFly

You guys really should put water in your water table in the CFP. Also, are y'all on the forum?

no guard between the rear tires and the engine? mostly by the section with the belt - dirt rocks and oil = belt destroyer and aluminum destroyer.

Love this diesel!

Just noticed u have a waste-gate block of plate for exhaust flange meaning ur waste-gate isn't working

When is Issac going to build the second headquarters near his house, like, what does he spend his half of the money on anyway? It would be cool to see yall bounce back and between the two buildings.

Methanol will pre-ignite in the turbo housing depending on how that turbo is cooled wouldn't it?

"Don't have to make them from scratch" says the guy with a plasma table....

It’s like watching cartoons in fast forward

Anyone else think damn that looks slow until he took it down the road and then think NM that thing rips 😅

You should ve able to drop at least a second based on how slow it started off before

You have to put the can on the exhaust😂

Fairview Nc still waiting for power to come on. Running on battery power.

* Also - you should let the good people know that is a "Momentary Switch" that only works when pressed in. (Not everyone knows! #BroTip)

Where did you guys buy that diesel engine because I want to do some sketchy shit as well

Heck yeah

Weld the waste gate shut or add nitrous. Black smoke is to much fuel. Nitrous is just adding more air on demand. You dont need the methanol in your set up.

You guys need some chalk markers so you can write your measurements anywhere and not make them permanent.

Fair play guys nice try but petrol is much easier. Love watching you guys and appreciate your work ethic but petrol all the way.

to the race track next?
