So glad you made it today Jimbo, we missed you last week.
YES please continue.
Yes!! Welcome back.
I thought I was going crazy not seeing a video last week.
Yes please
YES, HOME MECHANICS NEED A SIMPLE TUTORIAL ON BASIC AUTOMOTIVE SOFTWARE
No worries man
Yes continue. Jimbo, we’re glad you’re back. I along with many others missed you last week but I’d rather you skip a week here and there instead of getting burned out and quit altogether. Thank you brother for the years of entertainment.
Thanks!
I gladly would sacrifice some uploads for Jimbo's sanity, don't want the gnomes to get to him.
i agree also, the reason i like this channel is that youre different to the rest, less bolt on boys and more experimentation, so if you want to go in a different direction, go ahead. just take care of yourself, burnout sucks
@@goosenotmaverick1156 I’m thinking the same.
@@ianwalton4408 amen.
"I'm sure if I worked for Boeing I could take some shortcuts, but I want the throttle to work and the doors not fall off" 😂 I was creased 🤣 a great video of a continuing great project!
That burn 🔥
Cracked me up! 😉
Yes continue with the project. I can't believe you'd think anyone would say no!
Yes! Continue with the project! Let's see what's possible with this little diesel.
Yes, please continue, for two reasons. For one, you first illustrate each of your solutions in an analog fashion. This helps me to understand how your digital solutions are going to work. For two, you are engineering not just for performance, but for reliability, durability and practicality. You are building machines that people could actually use. So many other sites are bench racing for ultimate potential, damn the torpedoes, and if she blows up that no big deal, the sponsors will just pay for another one. I like to see people build things that will actually work.
So glad you are back, Jimbo! I missed you! YES! Please continue. I would LOVE to see this taken to the next level with electronic controls!!
YES! I'm just here to see you make a small diesel engine make as much power as possible, but the efficiency stuff is cool too. My daily driver has a mechanical turbo diesel engine with lots of modifications, so this is very relatable.
Yes, keep going. Your ideas for pushing this project are right up my alley. Combining practical engineering skills with DIY solutions makes for the best kind of UA-cam videos
I'm also loud and stinky, but no woman has ever told me it adds to my charm. 😂😂😂
Yes please 😊
Yea that is what I argue with the EV fan boys. I want noise I'm old lm gonna stink.
Lmfao I'm dead bro 😂
What do they know anyway.....
@@GrantWaller.-hf6jn So you're obnoxious by choice?
Yes please keep trying your different ideas. But don’t get burnt out. Your editing is so entertaining with great humor
Yes, please continue the project! I'd love to see how far you can push this thing! I like electronics and programming and would love to see it appear more on this channel. Experiments like these are exactly what i'm here for!
Love the jabs at boeing🤣
Yes!! I want to see what you can do for boost control with a microcontroller. Currently in my personal rig, boost is either on or off with a vacuum actuated bypass valve, and the options for an off the shelf electronically actuated one are over $1k. There's definitely a market for this if you decide to sell something...
HELL YES! All this is very interesting. As a mechanic all my life I am learning things I never knew you could do. At 77 it just goes to show never to old to learn something new. Have a super blessed week.
I never feel the urge to skip through these videos, this guys ideas and mechanical knowledge amaze me. Hopefully I become as inclined as he is for this type of experimentation and work at some point in my life.
This is what I love about your channel: Let's not settle with a on/off switch, let's add a valve and let's add a servo and I've printed some stuff off camera and let's go.
Most people would just half-ass try something out and stop when it goes into electronics or simple programming a micro controller, while this is exactly the best solution for most mechanical issues, if you don't wanna spend reinventing super complicated steam power mechanics.
"OUCH, that hurt!" - Boeing
😂
"actually this switch system is complex for what it does. And if I worked for Boeing, I could probably take a few shortcuts. But in our case, I want the throttle to work as expected, and I don't want the doors to fall off."
As an AvGeek, this made me laugh so much 😂😂
Yes
Same! I talked with a lifetime Boeing Engineer here in Seattle and he talked in depth about the mismanagement and outsourcing of manufacturing that led to disaster.
Jimbo: Yes! Sounds like you're excited to keep innovating. Go for it!!!
I come from both an automotive and engineering background, with a focus on electronic systems. I am absolutely fascinated by all projects that include some sort of computerized technology to supplement mechanical systems. I say, please continue this project!
Dang. You know Boeing is screwed when they're taking shots from the only man to ever build an amr-500 supercharged, Kubota diesel powered, Honda Insight.
CDD............they need Jimbo at boeing !!!!!!
I get concerned when I hear you mention comments from people who don't get the concept, because one of the people I followed stopped creating because of the nasty comments. Please remember, you don't need to take an IQ test or meet a standard to comment. So any retarded, jobless, bed- wetting, fool can comment. And unfortunately they are usually the ones that comment the most frequently. Please keep doing what you do best. What you do is not duplicated by anyone and you have a gift in terms of your delivery. 😮
YES.
Please continue. As a HD mechanic with a mechanical engineering degree, this is great to watch. I'd really like to see what can be done with this little engine, which I do encounter from time to time. Love the old mechanical diesels, they will always run because there's no ECU to tell them they can't 😂 (that's where troubleshooting modern diesels gets annoying) 😂😂
Yes please carry on. I'm no computer guy but I appreciate the two working together to make something cool and unique. Love to see what the car can do with a bit more help
Yes keep going😎 "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster."
“If I worked for Boeing I could take a couple of shortcuts” - FUNNY!!!
Sad but true .
"but then the doors might fall off" lol
Never change Jimbo....
Shots fired.... 😏😉👍
😎🇬🇧
Please continue with the project!
I am a guy that once dreamed of converting a 50 cc 2-stroke moped to diesel, with a roots blower and common rail injection of course. So you're almost going the way that I dreamt of ❤
YES! These have been fun projects to follow, and I want to see more.
Yes, Jimbo, please continue with this project. Really enjoy watching.
Yes! Continue the project. I'd love to see the limits of this engine on both efficiency and power
Yes!! All the mechanical steps you’ve done have been amazing. But seeing all the tech ideas you have are really interesting and I would love to see a little bit of tech thrown at a mechanically run engine
I saw a Honda Insight at work the other day going through the drive thru. While my coworker was taking the guy's order, I was telling him all about this channel and the funky stuff you've done with yours, the guy overheard and we got to chatting about the car itself in general and I mentioned this to him as well. The guy said that was amazing and sounds like a fun project to have!
YES, YES... AND YES...! (Computerised dump valve, 'Guv'na' & everything else that helps make this wee beastie go betterer) 😏😉👍🤣
😎🇬🇧
Yes, abso-froggin-lutely. I may not know a lick about coding, but appreciate seeing how far you can stretch the limits. Glad you're back.
Yes! Keep it going!!! i love this little diesel project as a former navy diesel mechanic (enginemen) and working on diesels that were 15.75" bore and 18.25" stroke V16's where every cylinder was making 572 hp at idle this is so fun for me to watch .
Yup, as a former marine engineer working on large 2 stroke (propulsion) and smaller 4 stroke diesels (ship's generators), I've always loved diesel engines, especially the boosted ones. Feed them lots boosted cool air and clean fuel and any diesel can do amazing things. Lots of power for very little fuel burned.
Yes more detail and videos always appreciated.
I like the problem solving on this channel. Please continue and thanks.
It's a big YES from me, Jimbo. Please, we want more!
jimbo, the car is never good enough! throw everything at it, as long as it is affordable
YES I have been enjoying this series thoroughly.
Yes to all of it! I love watching and learning about all the things you do!
When its Sunday and there is no video from Jimbo all I think is "I hope he's having a good Sunday and not a stressful one."
Yes, please continue! As a programmer who's never really had the chance to work on electronics and automation properly, this might be the thing I'm looking forward to the most in this project yet!
Yes please. I love your technical solutions!
This has been really cool. I like the exploring different ideas.
Yes, Jimbo. Yes to all the nerdy little things you are interested in. You make everything fun and in addition to that, I get to learn bits and pieces about how diesels work. Your work tickles my brain, and I really appreciate it.
"I'm sure if I worked for Boeing I can do it cheaper." Brutal. 💀
Yes, keep up the build, love the work.
Yes, plz continue. I enjoy this series very much. Thank you
Yes!!!! Please keep going.
As someone who appreciates the efficiency and capabilities of the diesel engine, we must have people like yourself that will push the limits of economy, power, and reliability. By bringing these old mechanical engines into today’s technology, I feel you are extending the life of any old engine as our laws change for cleaner air. Grandfather laws are getting fewer and fewer.
I watch your videos and think, why can’t I do this to my 12 valve or even my common rail? No lag, no smoke, and more power than I need from a super charged 5.9?
Please continue and I for one will be here to watch and learn.
The boeing comment you made had me rolling 😂. Great video, as always, Jimbo.
EDIT- Please keep this project going. I'd love to see just how far you can take it within reason.
I want to laugh but I'm going to be in a Boeing for 14 hours Tuesday flying over the Atlantic Ocean 🙄
RIP buddy
Sad times we actually have to worry about this. This is what you get when scrupulous bean counters take over.
Yes please keep going, what you're doing is amazing and so informative. Thank you for everything you do.
Yes! Thank you for the quality entertainment!
Keep going! Push it to the LIMIT!
YES! mega/microsquirt this or whatever. I would want to see that, but I also I think all of us are willing to keep watching regardless of what you choose. I'd watch you demonstrate garden gnome prevention techniques as well.
Yes please continue, this project has been really fun to watch
Yes. It has been fun watching you tinker with these vehicles. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, definitely yes. As another engineer, I watch your videos and live vicariously.
I do the same! Also for a Yes here, I'd love to see the electronic solution tested.
Jimbo I’ve been watching going on 2 years now and now I’m sitting in a hospital room with my fiancé about to have my daughter keep up the good work this video is the bookmark of a new era
Best wishes, daughters are amazing.
@@rnts08she’s wonderful so far
Congratulations!! Hope you spend many years teaching her to hunt and fish and how to kick the boys asses... We need strong, independent women to save us.
Congrats, the saying they grow up so fast is so true. Seems like yesterday my son was born. He's about to be 13 in a few months and scary how fast it went. Best of luck
Yes, please. Always like seeing what you can do!
A 1985 Mack over the road tractor that I worked on had an "aneroid" smoke reducer. It was a spring loaded diaphragm that pushed against the rack, until boost built up, then smoothly allowed appropriate fuel.
The modern version for a mechanically injected engine would be a computer with a RPM sensor on the crank and a MAF sensor in the intake, controlling a servo that moves a stop on the fuel rack. The computer has a map of max fuel flow rate vs max air flow rate, and adjusts the servo so that the rack cannot move far enough to reach the point of excessive smoke given current air flow and engine speed. This way the computer doesn't interfere with fueling until you hit the limit, and it will even automatically compensate for things like altitude changes or an old air filter.
On a really modern engine with common rail things are of course way more complex. My diesel common rail car has a MAF sensor, crank trigger wheel, wideband sensor in the exhaust, variable geometry turbo, EGR valve, swirl flaps in the intake... My understanding is that it more or less has a target AFR that varies with the power output to minimise emissions, and it uses the MAF and wideband to adjust the fuelling, turbo and EGR to try and hit that AFR. Still makes a puff of black smoke (and a hazy exhaust after) when you accelerate hard.
Edit: Heh, should have let the video finish first. Jimbo is way ahead of me.
Yes, I'd love to see more with computerized controls. I've really enjoyed the content and problem solving over the years. Whatever you end up choosing to do, I'll keep watching. The information, testing, success and failure, humor, and education I get is outstanding. Thanks for all the videos!
Yes! A thousand times yes! Love everything you do!
YES ! Keep going, I LOVE watching this build.
More technology! See how far you can take it. Thanks for the weekly Sunday morning entertainment, Jimbo!
Yes, keep adding tech.
Oh, most definitely yes. Electronic solutions to mechanical problems are very entertaining to watch.
yes, please continue with the experimentation, this is all really interesting and good info
Yes. Your channel is one of the better "lets do something different for science" channels I've found. Ive really been enjoying the out-of-the-box approach you've been taking.
Yes! Servo systems combining the governor, S/C bypass system, and throttle? This is the part of the project I've been waiting for the most!
Yes! Keep the project going! Well done and you’re the best!
Yes, please continue with this project
Yes. Let's keep going. You're WAY over my head, but that's where it gets fun.
Yes continue the project and get the technology going. I love all, mechanical, analog and digital.
I'd love to see intercoolers, timing adjustments etc. You change the least amount of variables of anyone inyeresting on YT. Keep goin!
Yes! I love seeing the what can be done with these small engines!
Yes! Always interested in seeing what’s possible.
Yes
Don’t have to stress too much about comments that are really left field or rude.
I really appreciate your teaching on many subjects and your good attitude and jokes! 😄
Yes, please keep going on this project. I (and I am sure many others) are learning so much about how diesels work watching this.
Always strive for more! This has been a wonderful project, and I wait each week to see what more can be done.
Are you kidding us? Jimbo, other than possibly Thunderhead289, no one else does this kinds of experiments! I say, Yes! Code and optimize the heck out of this project. I'm sure the folks at Kubota are secretly watching your videos. Thanks Jimbo!
The fuel rack adjuster is pure genius
Yes, please do continue! Retrofitting electrical engine controls onto older engines is fascinating.
I wanna see people start doing this with ancient hit and miss type engines
This stuff is absolutely fascinating please continue! I've learned a ton about fabrication watching your videos!!
The more smoke the more power keep up the good work
Yes continue. Would love to see this continue. Really want to see if you can make it a fully daily able vehicle with all the creature comforts. A diesel insight roadtrip would be pretty epic but that’s a way’s off I suspect.
YES, please continue with the microcomputer. It really is the best way to maximize the performance of what you have and it's really satisfying to see it all working perfectly at all speeds and throttle.
Yes. It's fun to see you work through this puzzle. Good work and thanks for bringing us along.
Yes as long as you can continue to explain complex ideas simply. i love learning from this channel! These projects and how far theyve come have been truly inspiring!
Jimbo, YES! It's time to go from a fun, cheap, project to...go for it! Go all out, my friend! No more cutting corners. Make this car as best and legal as possible so you can drive anywhere. Intercooler, fuel rack, electronics, etc. Use all your tech knowledge. No rolling coal. Do it all!
Yes please continue! Do what you want to do and we will love it.
Yes! Yes, please! One of my favorite channels
Yes. I’m an old school “mechanical” mechanic and very much enjoy watching your videos. You did such a great job explaining the fuel injection system for the preditor engine that even I was able to understand how all that scary electrical wizardry works.
You got to go all the way with this. Too many people have followed this project for you to end it with a "good enough." Squeeze that lemon just a little more for us, please.
Both of the proposed videos sound like just the kind of content I like.
Please continue. Everything about this project is so unique and I would love to see more.
Jimbo, I’ve been with you every episode since the 212 insight. I think I speak for a good majority of us when I say YES, PLEASE CONTINUE THE PROJECT!
yes, continue with the project and make the car go faster with technology!
yes, been following for a while as a Honda enthusiast I'm very intrigued by this series, appreciate the content
Yes, for sure keep pushing the project, I'm enjoying it 👍
yes please, continue with technology!
not just yes but HELL YES ofcourse we wanna see what the absolute limits of this are
