An old farmer taught me to add 2 stroke oil to the diesel at about 100:1 It has a nice effect - running quieter and cleaner. Generally sweeter. Farmers don't usually invest money in anything unless it ultimately saves money! It would be interesting to see if you can achieve any mpg gains
To all the graduates out there, a big CONGRATULATIONS. Your grade school days are over. All that's left is the ceremony before you say goodbye to your school. The memories you made here will last a lifetime. The things you've learned may not seem important now, But they are the foundation of your education, and you'll build on them In high school, college, and beyond. So take one last look around and print a memory in your head. You'll want to remember this place, these people, and the experiences you've had.
It's insane how much power those predator b twin engines can make. The performance kits that they make for garden pulling tractors can crank them up well into the 50 HP range before even getting into forced induction.
I was hoping you would bring the Saturn to Barrett Jackson so some rich guy could buy the world's only 80mpg diesel Saturn. Your knowledge is vast and inspiring. a sincere thank you
We will all miss the little Kubota three cylinder, intercooled, turbodiesel, manual shift, aero modded, hood scooped, cut hood exhaust stacked, custom South African gauge cluster equipped, race weight lightened, single mirrored, mostly red Saturn coupe. Walmart executives are probably drooling at the mouth thinking of all the under $10 things they can sell from the scrap. But that R10 is something else...it'll be a fun project and definitely one worth saving on when it's done instead of sending off to be shredded and melted and turned into electric kitchen gadgets.
I want to suggest, when you get rid of the Saturn, keep the hood and hang it on the shop wall. It says a lot on its own and I think that would look nice. A nice way to remember the silly thing. Love the content, good sir! I've learned a fucking lot watching it
@@drippingwax Think of it this way, a window opened half way will not pass as much air as fully opened. The small hood scoop is like a window partially opened as well as not being fully above the boundary layer of the air moving over the car. To visualize the air flow tape around 4 to 6 inch long pieces of yarn with the end frayed slightly in front of the scoop (tuft flow). If the yarn is being directed into the scoop that's good, just open the window more. This is used on aircraft to visualize airflow in flight. In aeronautics, tufts are strips of yarn or string, typically around 15 cm (6 in), attached to an aircraft surface in a grid pattern and imaged during flight. The motion of the tufts during flight can be observed and recorded, to locate flow features such as boundary layer separation and reattachment.
@@victorboucher675 Most cars have it facing the correct direction. Directing it backward made sense in the sixties, when windshields had far steeper angles, but not for modern cars, even this Saturn--unless you are trying to force hot air from the engine out that hole, but Jimbo never determined which way the air was blowing, and he isn't modifying the car further.
So glad you gave a shout out to the OLD ROUTE 66. Route 66 is one of the most famous highways around the world and the first national highway in the United States.
The highway became one of the most famous roads in the United States It originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before terminating in Santa Monica in Los Angeles County, California
Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been communally designated a National Scenic Byway by the name “Historic Route 66”
@@ocdman202 Route 66: The TV Show A popular television show during the early 1960s bore the road's name: "Route 66". Starring George Maharis as Buz, and Martin Milner as Tod, the two young adventurers drove the road in their Chevrolet Corvette for 116 episodes. Despite the name of the series, most episodes did NOT take place on the historic road, but in 25 different U.S. states. The show was filmed mostly on location, and became known for its cinematography. A long list of well-known actors and actresses appeared on the series. The show ran from October, 1960, through March, 1964, and created a huge following. The interest in the show continues today by "Baby Boomers" who remember the original showings, and new generations of viewers fascinated by the show who watch it on DVD.
The Demise of Route 66 Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments during its lifetime. The passage of the Federal Highway Act of 1956 sounded the death knell for the old road, and gradually segments were replaced with new, safer and faster superhighways. ts final demise was the completion of the Interstate Highway System. The last town by-passed by the Interstate system was Williams, Arizona, on October 13, 1984. Subsequently, U.S. Route 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985. Route 66 was replaced by five Interstates: I-55 southbound from Chicago, I-44 across Missouri and Oklahoma, I-40 in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, I-15 and finally I-10 into Los Angeles.
Common rail diesels are perfectly capable of running without rolling coal. Even without a particulate filter, it's pretty much an aesthetic decision (I shall refrain from casting aspersions on those who do) rather than something which actually improves performance. Running so rich you leave a visible smoke trail only improves power output insignificantly over a 'clean' map. It's a very different situation to old school diesels running lower injection pressure, with less precise (or even no) trimming of fueling to current boost levels...

yk, i have been watching the saturn series since the beginning. loved it and really felt attached to it being that for the last 2 years my daily driver has been a 2002 Saturn SC1 in Blue. Its been one of my all time favorite cars ive ever had. yesterday, i lost her. i was in a head on collision at 45 mph that totaled it. im gonna miss you, ole blue 💙
Love how you were afraid the cops see the leave blower stuck in the front of the car, but are perfectly fine with the exhaust pipe smoking out of a hacksaw made hole in the hood :D
It's been an epic journey with the turbo diesel Saturn and I'm going to miss it but it was a lot of fun. Can't wait for the next project, I'll have to start breakfasting on baguettes now. Au revoir.
Im a truck mekanik, in my old work place, one of my old mates told me that in sweden, ole truckers used to mix gas and diesel to get more hores power, on old truck engiens/mecanical indjektion pumps. 80%diesel 20% gas mix.
Next episode with the Saturn it would be neat to see a flapper on the exhaust for even more laughs.🤣 Thanks again for making the diesel Saturn for our entertainment.
Well if you didn't have to go on the freeway...this badboy would be the bees knees in fuel economy! It did it's duty..provided tons of data and even MORE entertainment! Awesome! Keep em coming...heck now you can make that Renault an in town daily driver for sure!

No flapper on the hater stack!! COME ON THE STREET TRACTOR JOKE WAS RIGHT THERE In the continuation of this series I’d love to see how those tiny superchargers ( AMR-500 ) would work on this engine along with the turbo! Make it into a mini Detroit!
5:21 Imagine him pulling up to a red light right next to a huge lifted Cummins RAM and playing with the throttle like that ;) You'd need a lot of confidence to pull that off!
Badass. Another cool effect of hood dump is; the soot will make any water that lands in the V of the exhaust plume bead off instantly. Its like ghetto wax 😂
I've been watching this since the project started. Pretty impressive work all around. My only thought (although it may have been mentioned before, I usually don't read the peanut gallery, of which I'm ironically now a member) is that when you move on to other projects with this engine, consider using a turbo that will run between 5 and 10 psi of boost *at cruise*. I think you'll find that your power band is much flatter, and that you'll get even better fuel economy (plus a much happier egt even with an exhaust system that exits the rear of the vehicle) as well. If this has been considered or otherwise commented before, please feel free to ignore :) PS: For those that don't know: In the United States road diesel is either undyed, or fluorescent green. Basically, like Jimbo says, *anything* other than red is road diesel, and off road diesel is *unmistakably* red. Not just a little red, but like RED red. Fun fact? That red dye dyes stainless steel permanently when carried as a concentrate in a smooth bore stainless steel tank trailer.
Honestly I think it would have been cool to see you maybe attempt an electric turbo set up. Since that little kubota doesn't seem to be making it spin up all that well, maybe bypassing having the exhaust spin it at all would be the next step? Perhaps something as simple as a small, 12v electric motor hooked up to the turbo to get it to spin full turn whenever you want and can adjust from the inside would be cool to see. Really liked this series!
To the crew at ROBOT CANTINA ====== Fantastic video here.. I just sat down to a big stack of pancakes and platter of bacon. We have the grandkids over and these videos going on repeat to make everyone happy..
I'm not sure that gains anything because of the conversion losses. Manual transmission has the lowest overall losses without doing something exotic like a welded diff. Inverter or motor drives tend to be built for cheapest cost, not for best efficiency. Same deal with the alternator. You could go one motor controller per wheel and essentially create a computer-based differential with one gear change, but at the end of the day, you still have all of the various conversion losses going from rotating to electrical to rotating.
@Augustus T. Titus I'm not sure where you get the idea that inverters, electric motors and generators are not built for efficiency. And mechanical transmissions and drivetrains have power losses too which are not insignificant. Consider the difference between flywheel horsepower and wheel horsepower on the same engine for a given car, the difference can be substantial. Regardless, the fact that you think differently than me only suggests that such a test is necessary.
@@AugustusTitus The _vast_ majority of the conversion losses are in the combustion engine. Practically anything that can make the engine run more efficiently will improve overall fuel economy. Traditional ICE cars run the engine under all sorts of conditions. Purpose-built engines for hybrid cars are designed for a much more narrow rpm and load range which is much easier to optimize for.

I've got a turbo Saab that's pvc system had a thin 6mm tube connected to a plastic check valve, I was replacing them once every 2 years here in the florida heat (the valve would fail or the tube would expand away from the valve allowing leakage)... I bought some thick made in america fuel line made in USA and a stainless steel check valve, attached the valve with some made in Germany hose clamps... YEAH. I'm excited to see how many years this part lasts, the factory option wasn't lasting me and I'm ready to not even look at that check valve for the next ten years, so here's hoping! Anyways ideas like this, I think channels like Robot Cantina help me try these kinds of experiments or at least get my gears turning, so I really appreciate all the mind opening content. Thanks for being a terrific content creator!
Rip little old Saturn, the crew cab Saturn will have to take your glory from here. I’ve loved this series and very much looking forward to the v-twin big block Renault!
13:05 - Yeah, I loved old Saabs, namely turbo 900s... those turbos were so big for that 2 liter engine they wouldn't even begin to boost until about 3,500 rpm and you could feel it at about 4,000... but I guess at the time the garrett turbo they used was about as small as it got. Made for a real bad turbo setup, but a real great gimmick... the way that thing would just sail once it hit 4,000 rpms put a smile on your face every time!
o7 we will miss you good old Saturn,lets hope Mr.Cantina takes something out of that car and stick it on the cool wall,so we can atleast remember the entertainment this car brought us,heheh.
That Renault is GORGEOUS, this series is gonna be extra special. Making cool projects garners views... doing it in style even more so. Heck I bet it'll be better than the original car as far as top speed goes!
I wish you could keep the Saturn project going. It’s such a cool project! There are still things I’d like to see done. For instance. Does running a colder engine help or hurt fuel power? Or what if we cooled the fuel or preheated the fuel, how would that effect power and fuel Econ? What would adding a propane wet spray do to the power and fuel Econ? Would adding a oil cooler help or hinder the engine performance by making less friction inside the motor? What about using water? I’ve heard story’s of diesel engines running better when the moisture in the air is heavier. I’d like to know if that helps or hurts performance. There are other amazing ideas that could be tried too. Please don’t kill the Saturn project yet. It’s what got me hooked on your Chanel to start with.
Water content evaporates and causes cooler charge, to really oversimplify what's going on in most cases that folks are talking about that. It's not so much that the water itself matters, its what it does with the temps, at least in any cases I've seen water injection used on any engine.
Windows being open in my Tesla results in ~10% less range. Not sure if same impact on a diesel saturn, but its worth noting that you may want to consider that when doing the next run.
MICHIGAN!! Michigan is steeped in culture, is home to cold winters but beautiful summers, as well as passionate sports fans, and has a plethora of scenic spots. No matter the season, the Great Lake State has something to offer that everyone can enjoy. From museums, to festivals, to stunning hiking trails, take your pick! Here are SOME of the coolest things to do in Michigan.
Flower Day at Eastern Market, Detroit, MI Since 1967, Flower Day has been an Eastern Market staple. Every year on the Sunday following Mother's Day, growers bring their finest displays of beautiful flowers for visitors to purchase. Thousands flock to this annual event where 15 acres of vibrant perennials, shrubs, and trees are on display for interested customers.
You can find moose in Isle Royale National Park In the middle of Lake Superior, you'll find the island collection that makes up Isle Royale National Park. Since it's so remote, the park has been able to remain car-free with the only access being by boat. Some of Michigan's natural wildlife can thrive on the island since it's protected from harmful outside elements. Timberwolves and moose are among some of the more exciting inhabitants of the park.
It's called the "Mitten State" If you're wondering what sorts of nicknames Michigan has, look no further. One of this great state's monikers is the "Mitten State." That nickname might seem silly, but it makes sense if you look at a map of the United States. If you look closely, the state is shaped like a mitten. It's unclear who started the nickname, but it dates back to at least 1901
It's also called the "Wolverine State" Another one of the most interesting facts of Michigan is one of the state's other nicknames. When not referred to as the "Mitten State," it's being called the "Wolverine State." The state earned that nickname for 2 reasons. Initially, Michigan had a large population of wild wolverines, though their numbers dwindled over time. The state was also the center for the northern US fur trade, which also added to the validity of the moniker.
It has the largest limestone quarry Limestone is one of the most useful minerals out there. It has a high tolerance to temperatures and water, so it doesn't break down with as much wear and tear. A large portion of the limestone on the market comes from Michigan. That's because the state is home to the largest limestone quarry in the world
Fair well Sweet Saturn! Hey, Jimbo! You should put the original engine back in this tur......er....car, and run it through Bring A Trailer. That would be a HOOT!
As much i loved Saturn series, since i first saw Renault i couldnt wait to see some episode focused on it, i am grateful to Saturn for being test subject but i am also happy it will be replaced by renault soon, can't wait for next episode.
You could make a better exhaustmanifold to help the turbo spool, shorter and better flowing and the egt would be lower, also fuelpump and pressure regulator so it increases fuel pressure on boost = less smoke before boost and better performance
I doubt changing the fuel pressure would matter unless the injection pump is being starved for fuel. I think i heard mention of some engines using another actuator on the IP to increase fuel flow on boost but I'm not sure how that's set up.
@@mercMADCommando yes it helps because it rases the base fuel pressure in the pump and in the "elements" so it helps espessially at higher revs and yes for example a wastegate or something that would adjust the rack depending on the boost level would also help but i think the elements are pretty mutch at their limit because it was never designed for this, a turbo engine pump would also be a great upgrade, even if it doesen't need the extra fuel due to how the mechanical pump works it squirts the same amount of fuel in faster witch means basically "tighter timing"
Got me thinking about something kinda cool. You can make a supercharger using pieces of pipe welded onto shafts using a pair of cam drive gears. It doesn't have to produce more than 600mBar so it doesn't need to be helical. Two chambers with the pipes 90° off between chambers with both shafts should produce smooth enough and be easy enough to rig and balance. Two 2 inch long chambers would be enough, total size maybe 8" long and I think you need 2.5" radiuses so maybe 6.5" wide and it can be in the pipe instead of on the intake. Saw the design someplace.
I was in KS from OK yesterday to buy a two-thousand twelve one point four liter turbocharged intercooled gasoline six speed manual chevy cruze sedan. I had your outro song playing in my head the whole way home, ha!
So enlarging the exhaust past the turbo does not affect the exhaust pulses traveling through the turbo. The pulses traveling into the turbo have to do with the exhaust manifold and valve timing. However I think that the exhaust is now too big for that turbo as the exhaust velocity is too low now. I think that the 1.5 inch pipe was perfect but it was the rest of the exhaust system causing restrictions possibly.
You've got me so beat on mpg. I just hit my best numbers on a drive to Illinois. 487 miles and used 9.6 gallons of gas, so I averaged 50.5 mpg in my three cylinder Fiesta. Not as good as the Saturn but not bad either.
Next test for the diesel. Find a Prius or similar, Put a generator on the diesel, Swap out some of the batteries for super capacitors and see how far you can go with the diesel topping up the batteries before you needto stop to recharge, and how long it takes , how much fuel it takes to get to full charge.
Very impressive Jimbo, thanks for all your efforts on these car re-engine projects (just the kind of thing us engineers find facinating)! I had no idea the exhaust system back pressure was so critical on diesels. This explains why I have seen so many full size pickups with stove pipe diameter exhaust systems.
Well, I had no Idea as well, and just for fun we tried it and it makes a big difference. We will do our best to correctly size the exhaust in the next diesel build. should be fun!
@@robotcantina8957 Jimbo, you will route the exhaust past your window, right? Right?! :) Bill, how often have you seen big exhaust tips, but the actual muffler opening is smaller? I have seen tons of stuff like that because people only care about looks.
A good upgrade for that predator engine in the future as the project progresses would be to put two small mikuni slide carbs on the individual intakes with long straight intake runners. It's a cheap way to make a mini ram air for them that alot of lawnmower tractor pullers use.
It's so exciting to see these episodes :) I can't believe you got your hands on a Renault 10 of all things and on top of that, have the guts to fiddle with it rather than keep it stock 😄 I truly love it! My dad had a Renault 8 from the time period. He swapped the engine from an Alpine (I don't remember which model) that he ordered from America. This must've happened in the early 90's after the collapse of the USSR since we're from Bulgaria. If you are finding weird cars fun to work on and don't mind checking the Eastern European markets, ZAZ 968's had a rear mounted magnesium alloy V4 engine and were produced for almost 30 years. It shouldn't be too hard to find one cheap (if we ignore the import costs) if you ever wonder what to do next 😆
It’s hard to tell exactly what makes a burger so perfect. Maybe it’s the delicate ratio of meat, condiments and bun, or possibly the creativity that comes in the form of toppings. If you’re looking for those ideal ratios and delicious toppings, Iowa’s best burger joints have it. Here are the 6 best in the state.
Elms Club, Creston, IA While Elms Club in Creston has a great reputation for the perfect burger, in combination with the many other menu items to choose from, and the sociable space that tends to draw a crowd, Elm’s Club is proving to be much more than just a simple burger joint. While the burgers are a must-have, on your fourth or fifth visit it might be worth your while to sample another entree item including the grilled pork loin or the Philly cheese steak.
Chuckwagon Restaurant, Adair, IA The Chuckwagon Restaurant in Adair has something for every meal of the day, ranging from breakfast fare to burgers and cold beer plus dessert, and whatever the food you and your family are hankering for, the Chuckwagon can cover it in their fun and friendly restaurant space. While every one of the menu and beverage options are worth the visit to the Chuckwagon, it’s their burgers that are the piece de resistance, and with all the original and classic burger varieties to choose from, there’s loads to try at the Chuckwagon in Adair.
Ankeny Diner, Ankeny, IA Ankeny Diner on Southeast Delaware Avenue is the epitome of the classic eating establishment. Featuring all the diner menu classics including breakfast plates, turkey clubs and of course, burgers and French fries. You can decide upon original burgers at the Ankeny Diner, or you can go a little more adventurous with something like a Goober Burger with an egg cooked to your liking plus cheese and peanut butter. Whatever lunch or dinner option you opt for at the Ankeny Diner, know that you’re ordering up a meal you’re going to enjoy.
Congrats on the extreme MPG! Of course it's diesel, which brings its own set of qualifications - but it's still an impressive number. I just got about 61 miles per US gallon on regular pump gas, so I'm not too far behind you... although you definitely beat me. Of course, my Elantra Hybrid will also do 0-60 in 8.4 seconds, so there's that. Anyway, congratulations!
Would a good wheel alignment perhaps improve fuel consumption? The steering wheel doesn't look straight. Very nice video, very entertaining even as a mechanic. Keep up the good work.👍 Greetings from Germany 🍺🥨
