This is an idea I've had since I was a kid, and after watching Mike Cberts Diesel mini bike video I was inspired to put together my own! The frame has been around since I was 4 years old! At that point it was powered by a 3 hp Briggs and Stratton and is a Fox corporation, Trail Bug probably from the 60's or early 70's. The engine is a copy of a 10 hp Yanmar single cylinder Diesel engine and the turbo is similar to the one on my Honda CX-500 Turbo motorcycle. The engine runs at 3,600 rpm max and top speed so far is 39.3 mph.
Here's a description of 2 stroke & 4 stroke Diesel engines:

Bahahaha, sick. I love it. Especially the fact I'm used to seeing these things with the itty bitty 3-4hp engines and a whole lot of empty space in the frame, but with that engine shoehorned in there it's looking more like you're riding an engine, one that incidentally happens to have wheels attached to it.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

Actually this is a brand new engine. It came straight out of the crate for this build, what you're hearing is the detonation or knock that is common in older Diesel engines. It has a single-shot mechanical fuel injection system which are notoriously loud.

@wyattlarrick3246 5 лет назад

@@observingrogue7652 Yeah, I'd say under 5 psi in most cases. Little diesels like this one are air-cooled, so I would think the pistons are within an inch or so of the exterior part of the block, so they couldn't be very thick. 5 psi is where I'd put the cap on boost and play it safe.

@TurboSuperiority 11 лет назад

Hey, sorry for the delay in responding but yes it does actually work. I've been able to make over 10 psi but you have to get a pretty good load on the engine which is somewhat hard to do. The compressor discharge pipe gets too hot to touch after riding it for a while.

@abenormal9075 8 лет назад

Be interesting to see how this bike performs with the turbo removed, that way you'd know if the turbo has actually boosted performance or just over fueled the engine hence the black cloud following you around. Anyway good work I like it, looks fun

Hey thanks for the comment and question. The engine I used is a clone of the 10 hp Yanmar engine. I bought it online and they are indeed available from a few different sellers. I imagine the engine can't be sold in California but I've never seen anywhere that they are controlled in the rest of the country. You commonly see them for sale as powerplants for generators and pressure washers.

@TurboSuperiority 11 лет назад

Thanks for the comment and I wasn't sure how it was going to work either but I got the smallest turbocharger I could find and it definitely makes a noticeable difference. If you load the engine down, say on a steep hill, it easily makes 10 lbs. of boost.

@wjackstl 8 лет назад

the only thing I dislike was the fuel tank....put it under the seat

@TurboSuperiority 8 лет назад

I agree with you on the location of the fuel tank. The only problem with putting it under the seat is, that's where the turbo is and there's not much extra space.

@wjackstl 8 лет назад

yeah, turbos are not small....especially on a minibike lol one final thought: unless this is your daily transport to work, maybe a smaller fuel tank would be more accommodating? something like the fuel tank from a 2 cycle gas trimmer? it might even sit well behind your seat, because of it's curved shape. okay, i'm done giving my not-asked-for 2¢ now! later

Top speed is limited only by my gear ratio thus far, I went to a 20 tooth front sprocket, and 72 tooth rear and top speed is now 39.3 mph at full throttle uphill or down, it doesn't matter. Also with a little bit more load on the engine I saw 12 psi on the boost gauge! The numbers are headed in the right direction but there is still room for improvement so stay tuned!

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

I agree, I have seen 10 psi but that's about all I can muster from that little turbo. The wastegate is connected too, but on a bench test the actuator doesn't budge until about 15 psi.

@05clenharth 13 лет назад

By the white smoke and because you have turbocharged it you need to advance the injection pump, do this by taking the pump of the block and removing the smalist shim reasemble and the smoke should be a darker grey, if needs be you may need to take out a couple, this will give you alot more power as well

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

If you forget to push the compression release lever, forget it. You will literally lift the whole thing off the ground with the pull cord before you'll turn the engine over.

@rednecklife-uu3je 11 лет назад

That is true, if you can keep the exhaust flowing strong the turbo will have no problems spooling.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

Good question, I believe there are several places to order them from and I think I actually bought mine from an ebay seller that had a bunch of them. I remember I had a hard time finding a "tapped" shaft model versus the "tapered" shaft design so that I could mount the torq-a-verter.

@TurboSuperiority 11 лет назад

Ebay sells the engine and turbocharger, the frame has been in the family for a LONG time.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

In theory pretty much any engine can be turbocharged it's just a matter of trying to match the appropriate size turbocharger to the engines airflow and horsepower. The Diesel worked pretty well because it flows a lot of air for its size due to the fact that it has high compression, and it has an internal oil pump which is also very important.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

@99cumminskid Thanks for the comment! And no technically this is not street legal in Colorado because it's over 50 cc's and has no nights/mirrors/etc. I did however pass a motorcycle cop a while back, in front of an elementary school no less who just stared me down, and didn't follow me. So hopefully if I ever do get pulled over, they'll just tell me to take it home..

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

You're exactly right! While I definitely do not consider myself an environmentalist, it is nice knowing that, like the Hummer H1 which was powered by a Diesel engine, I am polluting a lot less these days compared with my Gasoline burning counterparts like the Hummer H2, H3 or your average Gasoline lawn mower. It's nice that my NOx, HC, and CO emissions are a fraction of what they would be in a Gas engine, as are the toxic chemicals like Benezene and Formaldehyde that are being emitted.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

Thanks! The turbo is big for this engine and laggy but definitely gives it more power when it starts to spool.

@georgeutterpower 12 лет назад

This is a like! Very impressive, that seven pounds boost should come in mighty handy on a generator in Colorado at 7000 feet or higher.. You did most of the work proving this turbo was a decent match! While other young guys are doing much of nothing, you are developing some impressive fab skills.. looks great!

@TurboSuperiority 11 лет назад

You're correct and I too was concerned with that, but these small Diesels run at almost the same rpm's as a comparable gasoline engine. There isn't as great a difference in rpm as bigger engines.

@MuzzaHukka 11 лет назад

Diesel vehicles aren't even inspected in most states. Means you don't even need lighting or a speedo on that thing. Try registering it in another state, then registering it in your own. Only problem might be seat height but oh well, you can add a few feet :)

@nuil501 9 лет назад

Hi turbosuperiority, may be you dont know, but there were some diesel bikes made during the fifties. I remeber Gall, and Lohman. They were sold as auxiliary engines to clip on bikes. Under names like "Lohmann hilfsmotor" or even Lohmann diesel, there are here on ytb some interesting videos about. They were delicate jewels. Thanks for posting.

@TurboSuperiority 9 лет назад

Thank you for the nice comment! I have not heard of those engines but I will look them up. About the only Diesel motorcycle that I was aware of was the Royal Enfield Diesel.

@sharronclark7485 3 года назад

I love! I like the smell of diesel smoke.As a bonus you will still have transportation if we suffer an EMP attack!😲🤔🙂

@hiyadroogs 12 лет назад

When a diesel pumps black smoke it can burn the piston very quickly. It's very easy to wind back the amount of fuel injected, There is a horizontal screw under the engine speed controls with a security wire attached. Wind this screw in until it very lightly touches the sprung plunger for the governor control. The engine will now be virtually smokeless even under full load. If power dips too much, just wind the screw out one eighth of a turn then road test. Factory settings are too rich on these.

@9102jack 11 лет назад

not if you use the original governor throttle control [I believe most have a red rubber cap on them] and find a way to limit its reverse movement while still allowing it to go all the way back to kill it. If you had a throttle stop on the injector pump shaft coming out near the base of the block it injects the same amount of fuel all the time and cant compensate for minor changes in operating conditions, so it either over speeds or stalls.

@TurboSuperiority 11 лет назад

Thanks! It's a blast to ride and gets a lot of looks.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

The brand is called Kapa. There are probably other brands of the same engine though.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

Gathered all the parts before the build and spent a few weeks assembling it a little bit at a time.

@tinkerrbill 11 лет назад

Make sure you are not over-reving that engine. You may need to put heavier weights in that CVT front pulley so it will kick in a little quicker. Stock it's tuned for a gas engine so by the time that diesel activates the CVT, your already half way through your torque curve! Evidence the blue smoke going down the road. Black smoke OK, blue is not! I had a friend who did same thing and his motor didn't last. Just sayin, gotta keep those rpms lower for diesel.

@TurboSuperiority 12 лет назад

No it has brakes now haha I was just trying to locate the right brake that fit that hub when I made the video. And the kickstand is on the list too.
