Twin Turbo Diesel AWD Motorcycle (Bike & Builder episode 2) Thanks to Sam for the interview and clips of his build!
My name is Sam Turner, I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I currently am a Diesel Technician for the United States Postal Service. When I was about 12 years old my father taught me how to use a welder, and ever since then I have been building whatever has popped in my mind. My first motorcycle was when I was 8, my father fixed up an old 70ish model Honda 50cc minibike. from there I worked my way up to a Honda 110, then a Yamaha RT180.
I knew I wanted to use the 840cc V-twin diesel engine for my power plant, and figured that to keep it symmetrical looking, the only way to go was Twin-turbo. I tossed around the idea of double CVT's, and a Hossack front suspension. but it seemed still too mild. then the idea of Diesel electric popped up, similar to a Diesel locomotive where my engine powered a generator, then the generator could use electricity to spin a wheel motor. This is where the idea of AWD became possible. After researching the generator and wheel motors that would be capable of moving this bike, I decided against it because the costs were insanely high. Even though the diesel electric part of the build was shot down, I still wanted to try to do anything I could to keep the AWD aspect. That is when I stumbled across the idea of using hydrostatic drive. It would act basically the same way as a diesel electric, but at a fraction of the cost. I picked out a hydraulic pump and 2 hub motors, and because the hub motors are designed to only be supported on one side, I needed to design a single sided suspension for the bike. Once I drew up the idea for the suspension I saw that it would be very easy to install air bags so that the bike did not need a kick stand. At this point I began to lay all the pieces out in my garage, and once the engine, air bags, suspension and tires were lined up, the bike was over 11ft long. At 11ft long I did not want to have goofy looking long handle bars, or have to awkwardly have to stretch out over the backbone of the bike to reach the bars so I ended up building Double push pull cables that would connect the front spindle all the way to the back of the bike where the pivot point of the handle bars were. I ended up using the same setup for my hydraulic reservoir, as Triumph used for oil in the TR650. the backbone of the bike is a 4in hollow tube that stores 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid, thus eliminating the need for a bulky storage tank. Hydrostatic systems generate a lot of heat, so I installed two oil coolers on the side of the bike and fabricated two hood scoops to help re-direct the air through the cooler. I installed two 2.5 gallon air tanks on the side of the bike, and welded cones and fins on them to give them the appearance of bombs. At this point the bike started to look like some type of military experiment, so I decided to run with that theme. I installed 31x10.5 off-road tires, a heat shield down the reservoir that looked like a gun heat shied, Cross hairs on the backbone. a 2.5 gallon jerry can for a fuel tank, a 5.56 ammo can for a battery box, and painted the bike frame truck bed liner black, and the body panels Olive Drab Green. Hope y'all like it!

Twin Turbo Diesel AWD Motorcycle (Bike & Builder episode 2)
Coming from a committed environmentalist...that black smoke cloud is just fucking AWESOME.
As I watched your video I cringed to think about the comment section. So many keyboard fabricators foaming their opinions about how you did this wrong or change that or you are killing baby seals with the smoke or it's not safe, blah blah wine blah. I'm surprised by moderate level of intelligence here though. You built this. From scratch. In your own shop, With your own hands, using your own brain. It's wonderful and it's something that 99.9% of the trolls on UA-cam could NEVER accomplish. Very well done sir.
+dozer1642 But couldn't it run 95% less smoke if the engine was simply tuned properly? The only time they do that is when they are spraying in way too much fuel to burn completely. Maybe he needs it to have enough power I guess. He should put on a bigger turbo.
+sirgallium my best guess (from a 4:54 minute clip) as to why the engine smokes the way it does is merely because its operating under heavy load all of the time. Fabricating something like this isn't a science. It's art. The fact that the engine chosen makes the darn thing go down the street at a moderate pace is a stunning success. It smokes a hell of a lot less than the ten dodge trucks with the 8" stacks that the high school kids in my town cranked up the pumps on just to be obnoxious. It's one man and his unique creation. God bless him.
dozer1642
Yeah I love it. Incredible creativity.
+dozer1642 The black smoke may look cool, but is a sign of incomplete combustion... so the engine doesn't run properly, at least not in this video. Seems like it's still a work in progress though.
+sirgallium ...Or smaller turbos? Maybe it's too low engine rpm so they don't spool up to their intended rpm.
(I have no idea if this model of turbo is considered "small", "medium" or "large"... He also has two of them, perhaps going down to one would do the trick? (Just brainstorming a little.)
might wanna extend them ol' exhaust pipes back a little. You're getting a solid 45 carcinogens per gallon.

@Blueshifted •• srsuyse w
Nah
Dddddddddadddddddddadadr4aadaaddadddddddddddaddddddadaddddddrda be doing dddddddaddadd adddddd
why build the exhaust not directly in the face ????
Some design errors were made.
+zezu zaza lmaooooo
I always do!!! I love the looks and style! but by time you get to a bike show you'll have to stop for some Cancer treatments, constant diesel exhaust exposure is so bad there's parts of Europe where they control which days u can drive into certain cities (since all cars are diesel in some places) and the cancer rate is increasing.
that one steaming idea! ba dum tss!
loool ...
love the bike, hate the smoke
that is all kinds of bad ass awesomeness ! five out of five Ichiban Moto stickers !
ha thanks @ichiban
+Choppertown ့
I found it!! Finally.. the most awesome thing on the internet.. this is it! Shew... 25 years of searching.
+spdwebdotnet better than cat videos ;)
zezu zaza Can I raise a kids? What? I can, and have.... 3 of them.
you're too slow... I was searching about acrilic domes and get here... I did take just 1 hour.
spdwebdotnet you know what would be cool if you a had a duel wheel in the back and a 1968 peterbilt truck horn
Check out The Ferret.
That bike is the awsome! i smiled the whole time while watching this video.
+victor bell yup me too
i think its a wonderful bike. but the smoke is killing it. hehe
Yeah agree the smoke from that thing ha ha
boomerhgt if that smoke make has high. then, go on. haha
Nah, the smoke is what make the bike. Totaly Mad Max!
Frode Angell Løtvedt ok. hehehe
Smoke is not cool and going to get you ticketed eventually.
Same with pick ups they think the smoke is cool but it it looks stupid.
I drove a tractor trailer for 40 years and you guys that love smoke just look like a bunch of wannabes
First, awesome job! Really outside the box thinking. Second, I own a pre-emissions diesel truck with a tuner so I'm no stranger to rolling coal but it usually clears up once the turbo spools. I'm not an expert on diesels & turbos but I think you might have it over-turbo'd. If you cut it back to a single, or found 2 really tiny turbos, you might clean it up a bit. Roll all the coal you want at the stop light but at running speed, you should be clear(ish). Hell, old tractors didn't smoke that much under load and they did a lot more work than your asking this engine to do.
Don't take me wrong, not bashing it or complaining about environment, blah blah blah. Only offering up a suggestion.
he deffinitly needs a better pump for the hydrostatic drive so he can get more speed and takeoff. and he needs to fix the excessive smoking habit of the engine. but other then that, its one absolutely awesome bike, i love it.
Interesting setup with "clutch" and "brake", I like it! BTW since it is single speed have you thought about adding a 2nd speed by dropping to one wheel drive by cutting flow to front wheel while allowing it to recirculate so that all the flow would go to the rear doubling the speed?
The smoke is WAY excessive, it looks like it interfers with driving...
work in progress :)
+Choppertown yep a solid tune to get the smoke down an then it will be pretty cool.
my only concern is the air ride system. if air pressure is lost while above 20 mph, isn't the frame going to drop and said rider is going to go flying with possible injury or death? air ride bikes don't lay on the ground because of this.
+Choppertown What about some kind of a safety catch, I'm thinking a dog, like used on hoists, that would kick out, if you lost air. Like what would happen if a truck using air brakes lost it's air, the brakes would apply.
Then the only issue is how do you keep the bike from falling over when you stop.
For the smoke issue. Run straight biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil, and then the issue would become walking around smelling like a french fry. lol.
But what about two pipes side by side out to the back, cover them with heat shield and make them look like the rear bombers guns.
Cool bike though.
+mibars yeah love it really steam punk look, but wouldnt it be better if he makes the exhaust longer to the back side? that way the smoke wont bother the rider himself
+mibars Hydrostatic drives are variable speed.
You must smell real good after a ride on that choking on all the exhaust, lol. Why didn't you at least run the pipes all the way out the back?
cause weight reduction
Gotcha, but still ... what's a couple more pounds so you can at least breathe? Pretty cool how you got all that working together but I would want to enjoy the ride without having the need for a gas mask, lol.
+Brian Zaborowski best exhaust for turbo engine is no exhaust (as long as the fumes aren't near the intake.
+Brian Zaborowski Full-body exhaust shower - you can't beat it!
lol
this is a bad ass bike, the engineering behind building this bike is amazing, it's amazing how many people are worried about how much smoke comes out of it, like because of this bike the earth is going to die, first off I doubt you ride this every day, if you do the lil bit of smoke is a hell of a lot less than one big rig crossing the country let alone just going across town, they can't think of any legitimate thing to complain about with the bike so they bitch about the smoke which is something that can be fixed, still a bad ass bike
I can't imagine how great you smell after riding this awesome beast. That being said. It's very impressive. You should be proud of the engineering & ingenuity you put into making this bike.
Well there... that exists now.
+Dave mACK I feel like that's all it deserves.
A rolling smoke grenade. :)
Genius design, must be difficult to drive this bike.
In Germany we say to things like this one GEIL. :))
Sehr toll!!
bravo meistere
geil or hiel
Rating that comment for originality, you get a big fat ZERO.
I don't love the full-body exhaust shower but everything else is fucking awesome.
Full-body exhaust shower -- hilarious!
The ashy rider🔥
I LOVE IT!
Say bad things all you want. This dude needs his own show on cable TV.
Hey man. Awesome build! And the smoke? BONUS!
LOVE IT ALL!!
dieselbros bought this bike, and you sir, the builder of this bike, sold the bike for your family, respect for you.
One of the best thing I have seen in my life
amazing! he managed to make somthing more obnoxious and slower then a harley i didnt think that was possible
Yeah, sorry your Vespa hasn't won any awards yet....
Phil Harris i dont own a vespa... but if i had to choose between a vespa and this i would choose a vespa
+KoG GoK guess Chris Jenner wouldn't either
+KoG GoK What else can KoG GoK do but stand around, sling commentary shit and then park it at your local starbucks and stand around hoping for someone to comment on it?
From a Gearhead point of view, I see art, its not meant to go fast or look good from every point of view, if you don't like it dont comment, the guy who made it likes it, what else matters.
The bike was cool upto the point the aerodynamics cause you to ride in a permanent cloud of exhaust smoke.
+Gara Von Hoiwkenzoiber it's a stealth mode cloud... haha
+Gara Von Hoiwkenzoiber awww dude cmon that's one of the coolest parts! xD gives it sort of a steam punky rat rod type of feel for sure. id wear a mask and some aviation goggles so when you take them off they leave outlines from the soot xD hahaha. definitely 007 smoke screen mode! lmao
I bet that's the reason of exhaust pipes usually ending at the rear of the vehicle.
smh..... he did that on purpose...... its a twin turbo diesel its supposed to amoke that's exactly why he did it x) its supposed to be nasty.... what do you want it to be like a prius? xD im sure he did it to grab attention its not a daily driver so no harm no fowl.
+Demian Almeida Passos de Lara You've figured it out LOL!
I think the ingenuity and design put into real application is awesome.. Thx for sharing it with all of us.
This custom build is supercool and it's really unique. I know you know the smoke issue and I hope it's been taken cared of....
Wow, diesel bike, hydraulics too. Wow. Sic bike!
It’s like a steampunk version of Batman’s Bat Pod motorcycle!
Awesome! Just needs a tune and maybe an exhaust that doesn't exit right under his legs..
Much Respect on the shear amount of hours of custom fabrication and the creativity of implementation!
If i cuold sugget an advice:
the suspension should be passive, because if you loose pressure the suspension collapse and you could die.
I hope can help you.
AWESOME work!
Smoking is a bad habit, shame on you gnarly bike
+Dinxsy AGREE!
This is absolutely amazing. Much respect.
That thing is Mad Max insane! Keep tweaking it, tune the smoke out or at least pipe it behind the rider. How the hell does the steering work? Watched the video a few times but can't see it.... Way cool!
This is a straight up Road Warriors and Mad Max bike vibe. Lol awedome as hell. My hat goes off to you sir.
Now that is some Genius level workmanship!
Kudos for the absolute unique bike.
Did you have any problems breathing, while you were riding ?
+Craigie Craig I would wear a gasmask while riding this ^^
Does it come with a gas mask lol.😉
Seriously though, awsome job man, very creative.
be responsible. kill the smoke! then it will be a cool bike
+Kaleb DeGroot global warming bruh
that's an untruth
its carbon ...we are carbon based life forms..it must be good for us
+Kaleb DeGroot well then, mind warming bruh. if I'm stuck in the traffic right behind this bike I'd rather drive a fkin civic than riding my future motorbike
It's b.s. Erik. Any smoke is harmful. It has deadly carbon monoxide in it, plus other nasty chemicals. The soot should not be in your lungs either. These other people are silly stupid.
I could see Rouge Trooper riding this. Looks like a war machine. Pretty rad!
Rollin Coal with a chop! Bad assery at its finest! You win the internet.
Thats the coolest thing ive seen since a rocket landed backwards
You're a Madman. I love it.
The amount of smoke on this is ridiculous. enought that I can see you have an exhaust leak at the turbo. Does it even develop boost with that little displacement and twin turbos?
awesome hydraulic drive system! clutch, brakes, park, good job Merica style
Insane amount of thinking and creativity in this build. Truly amazing to look at. Only thing I dislike is that the exhaust is wrapping around his legs. Ride that thing anywhere and you'll pull up covered in exhaust gases and smelling like diesel.
does it ride or scrape clean the road ?
its bagged
Steampunk ? A genre of science fiction that typically features machinery rather than advanced technology.
Love it!
Crazy cool, but I suspect that diesel smoke must be killing you.
It would be dieselpunk by definition.
Szgerle Like dieselinhaledeathpunk' totally.
chefgiovanni mo
Nice build, but it smoke alot, how fast is the bike?
Diesels usually smoke a bit.
+{MLP} Rainbow Dash if you dont calibrate diesel engines it would really smoke alot and black
Not like this. He's got it set waaaaay rich on purpose!
MMD don't think this one needs to be fast, it's badass as is.
kool
Steampunk Mad Max Bike I love it !!!!!!! The smoke gives it the perfect touch of Freakin Awesome!!
Vision and creativity meet the street to form rolling art....nice!
Go to a tire shop. "Two new tires." "Don't you want to replace all 4?" "I only have 2 wheels, man."
Thats a cool bike however too much smokey choo choo.
+ChiefJustice Middleton The clean air act will have you red tagged in some states. That means that you cant drive it as its mass pollution. Even diesels in some citys now have smog and have to meat EPA rules. Just waiting for your next ticket.. .. any time now ..
+Lankster Price You do know those rules are for manufacturing and new vehicles right? Or you gonna say that all pre 1975 vehicles are illegal to register and drive?
+sylumgand Any, vehicle that makes black smoke that last or trails can be red tagged in California...
+Lankster Price Psh, what can't be red-flagged in California? I
+ChiefJustice Middleton Some engine work required for sure!!
Very cool bike, but one big question. Why all the hard work to build a killer bike around a terrible engine?
Because he could.
Corey Schmidt diesel ftw
@@doc.voltold4232 This engine definitely f***s the world. In case you didn't notice, it's not a good thing.
@Federico Lucchi a little diesel smoke is not that harmful to the world, if it was then we wouldn't be alive
The engineering that went into the planning and building of this machine is pretty amazing. Looks like quality to me.
I'm thinking that left leg would start to get hot on a long trip, might consider extending that baby and adding a heat shield.
But I got to love this thing, it really is bad ass.
That's a great video. Thank you for the great video. Your creativity is the best. From South Korean UA-camr Woongkham.
At least your mum will know where you are she can just follow the trail of smoke......
is it weird i drew something similar to this a few years ago XD , i was trying to design a post apocalyptic dune runner
Thats probably where they got the idea. They have been watching you for a while now.
It's a death machine 🏍
Absolutely genius build! Phenomenal.
That is the most badass bike I've seen in my life.
Cool bike but i feel the smoke takes away from it as it makes it look like a piece of junk rather than the piece of art that it is.
+Brian W :Absolutely right. Needs little tuning, that´s all.
His riding made me remember the Ghost Rider...
Batman couldn't do better.
Smokes like a chimney, but that is the coolest bike I have ever seen!
probably one of the coolest bikes ive ever seen
Rider: Yes officer it's CO2 compliant.
Officer: 🤨😠
RIP environment 4.543 billion bc - 2015 ad
a 1.4 petrol pollutes more than this... facts man
its sarcasm
+Nuggat But this doesn't't look like it has a catalytic converter. The smoke it shots out is just completely black and it looks like a hazard to everyone! This guy has incomplete combustion occurring in his engine so he's shooting out carbon, hence the blackness and Carbon Monoxide! I fucking hope he's got a catalytic converter in there!
DIESELS ROLL COAL, DUMBASS. IF IT DIDNT POUR BLACK SMOKE WHEN HES GETTING ON THE GAS, SOMETHING WOULD BE WRONG. . these friggin kids and their "diesel exhaust fluid". ooooooooooo......
If you think that thing is running tip top then I feel sorry for you.
probably that guy died from lung cancer, lol
Ok… There are so many all of a sudden turbo experts and ripping on this for blowing smoke balls. I am pretty sure he is completely aware of whats going on. This is an insanely well built, thought out. And Extremely badass execution . . .. Bravo
Esa moto debió ser la de Ghost Rider, tiene mucho estilo, y ese humo que sale le da aún más estilo.
that's gotta be an unpleasant ride with all that diesel smoke chiefing you out all the way up to your helmet ehhh I'll ride it 4 miles before I can't take the smoke lol other than that a sick ass bike
he's still perfecting it for street ;)
Yeah of course man you always find things you wanna change And tweak on you're builds.
if a diesel engine works well, does not pull the light gray smoke.
The fuel does not burn well.
sorry for my english haha
build a better one then.
why don't you build a better one bro
you really need to tune that thing, you're wasting a whole bunch of power and fuel, live the looks of it though
pedestrians, enjoy inhaling that healthy looking black cloud...
That's some pretty amazing engineering, real kudos. You're very gifted.
that has to be the coolest bike i have seen in my life, good job mans hats off to you
I think that the diesel engine is over fueled . Man, talk about, "rolling coal" a real carbon footprint! :-)
what a way too pollute the area
Actually those diesel cars or trucks can carry a lot of passengers or goods, so they play a useful role, you can't be so close to not see the difference. But here is just a biker who likes to ride in the same time polluting the nice area with his invention. Don't get ppl wrong, maybe I'm not an expert, the bike looks cool, sounds cool but the smoke is just a terrible con. Inventor made a lot of work but apprently the bike isn't completed. Period.
Awesome machine, but dump the diesel. I'm choking here.
LOL....Go ride an electric bike. Which by the way is built by electricity and guess where that comes from?
nuclear powerplant, wind, sun, water, termal, others and even the diesel '-'
depends on where you live but nation wide (USA) for 2014, 38.8% coal, 27.4% natural gas, 19.5% nuclear and 13.2% renewable (wind, solar, water, wood, biomass, geothermal)
China called, couldn't understand much of what they were saying. Something about knowing nothing about choking, as I could gather through the coughing.
Diesel powers your world, it allows you to complain about these things. Semis haul freight all over the world, they do it because they can generate the power, as gasoline can't. Trains can move 12,000 tons of freight, namely the coal that is used to power your home, and everything in it. Container ships carrying goods from around the world can haul more than twice that of the trains. Diesel propels them across the miles of ocean.
So, you want to hate on diesel? You better take a close look at the world you're sitting in. Your computer's hardware, your lights, electricity, clothing, toys, the very chair you sit on... So much of what you have now, is thanks in some part to diesel.
+GeneralLeeInsane 👍
Awesome. Looks fearsome. Smoke just makes it look angrier.
Wow that suspension and steering is so awesome
volkswagen diesel engine !?
Must be a clean air Vehicle, which is prefered...
Jeebus christ. Tune that engine properly and kill the smoke.
awesome bike, but why are the exaust so short? :P
I cant believe that there are so many haters. This is a great one of a kind build.
the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life
Why is is smoking so bad?...Fuel works better when its being burnt.
exactly!
black smoke is burned fuel. It's over fueling it be white if unburned fuel
You're thinking about a gas engine. This ones Diesel.
+Lone Wolf I've only been around trucks for over 31 years. If you ever seen and smelled unburned diesel fuel you'd know it.
Both black and white smoke mean unburnt fuel. Black smoke means an imbalance of air to fuel but the most common issue is too much fuel (unburnt). Yes I can give it to you that it can be too much air not enough fuel but in most cases its not especially how it was running. The black smoke is full of particulates that are basically large diesel particles that normally would be burned as fuel. White smoke means it as well is not being burnt properly with low engine compression, water in the fuel, fuel pump timing being off a whole slew of things both ways. I was just trying to let you know something but now you're being a keyboard warrior so this is all I'm gonna say you can say whatever you want after this these are the facts search it up anywhere. Also unbeknownst to you since your statement is showing you know nothing about me I also have been around all types of vehicles all my life.
cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, nice bi-iiike, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough,
Well to me it's a great work and I admire tenacity of people to create such unusual inventions, but also it's a retarded way to show everyone else, that you don't care about other people. Such a nice area and covered by terrible smoke, just for the individual pleasure.
quit your bitchin and grow some balls. it's just smoke my god!
Agreed.
Do you guys drive gas internal combustion engines?
American know how. If we can dream it, we can build it. Sometimes, just because we can. Great job.
Beautiful piece of engineering the creator of this fantastic machine has amazing skill and knowledge as well as imagination...big respect...thanks for sharing...we only evolve with minds like these!!
I'm not sure why but you may want to let those exhaust pipes go a little bit further back
More smoke than power just do something about it
the driver must smell like exhaust , I'm hoping he extends the pipes further behind him, maybe he will create something interesting with the exhaust system
The next Bat cycle . looks really nice good job building it
Nunca mais os mosquitos o atormentarão! Realmente um trabalho que requer aplausos... E tem gente que reclamava da fumaça dos motores 2T.
✔Looks terrible
✔Is useless
✔Exhaust right by the rider
Jorge you’re a moron the only problem here is the smocke directly on his face but this bike is a masterpiece you a jealous
bike looks amazing! But don't u really give a fuck about polution in the u.s.? i think u should...
This is so incredibly stupid. I mean congrats for having the skill to build it, but what a useless death trap. If the smoke doesn't kill you that monstrosity will when it causes you to wreck.
Wait for it.
No doubt the coolest bike ever. Thank you very much for this!
I thought I dreamt about this can’t believe it’s real! Looks a proper death trap!
