In this episode we do the usual and combine stuff that doesn't really go well together.
Just so you know - Vlad is fine now, he's recovering from his illness, and will resume his duties very soon. You guys stay healthy and safe!

Mazda Engineers: "We are proud to present our high compression Gasoline engine, after years of research and testing".
Garage 54: "We present our high compression Gasoline engine, made from a buried Diesel engine and spare parts laying around, built in few days, and some bottles of vodka".
Now think that with a English speaking Russian fellow in mind and you get the total picture.....
ahh yes the skyactive x engine from mazda, actually a pretty neat concept, runs on the same concept as diesel engines just with gasoline in lower revs and on higer revs it switches over to the more traditional spark plug method
This is a Toyota.

You won the internet today 🤣
This is interesting. Get well soon vlad. The dude should be introduced more into these videos. He is good
Yeah he's great. :D Remidns me of a milder version of a guy I met that was from Tynda on the Trans-Siberian. Man that guy was intense!
Heres a good idea. I want to see a squirrel cage blower with electric motor removed and a small pulley welded on and hooked up to an engine as a cheap but possibly very effective way to pressurize the intake manifold. Please do it. I'll do anything you want

Is it covid19?
@@Manuqtix.Manuqtix no, covid18.
The genuine smiles on thier faces when it fired up the first time...that's what classic fabricobbling is all about!
This young guy is quite smart, he explained the technical stuff way more precisely than vlad...
I agree, but Vlad is the 54 so perhaps you have both presenting - it’d probably work really really well.
They yin and yang.
yeah BUT VLAD COULD KICK HIS ARSE🤣🤣🤣
The young gent was amazingly articulate and fit the mould of the show straight away! Quality all around!
@@gtametro no he means the younger guy who rose to the occasion of hosting the show.
Hes been on the show since the start XD
@@johnb820 - He has been on the show but not as host.
I agree. I thought he did an excellent job filling in for Vlad.
He's been the host on some of the videos on the Russian G54 channel that haven't been translated.
Rest of the world: "I'll choose my engine type according to my fuel of preference."
Russia: "I have some gasoline lying around, guess I'll just convert my diesel engine."

Diesel: Gelled
Well I guess I'm tossing gas in.
Scotty Kilmer: "It's a Toyota, so of course it starts right up!"
😂😂😂😂true😂😂😂😂
Now that you have all diesel internals, try boosting the engine and see how much it can take, that would'be a cool video to watch.
Please do a video trying copper sheet as a headgasket for the engine. Thank You
Why copper sheet?.. Curious
@@zefzone-215 because when you have a high horsepower engine they use a copper o-ring around the cylinder, when you torque the cylinder head the malleable copper squish between the block and the cylinder head, thus giving a good seal between those two parts
@@SniperDog1 Gotcha, I learn something today - I thought multi layered steel was king all across the board.
Go back far enough in time head gaskets were copper
I wouldn't say it was staged at all. They clearly explained all the modifications, the theory behind it all was correct, and they showed footage of all the modifications. I really enjoyed this episode!
I would say this is one of their best experiments. I did not expect it to work this well, but they explained it from start to finish clearly showing all the steps and thought that went into it.
I hope this ends up getting a follow up episode, seems like a ton of work went into it so I would hope it gets more tests done like putting it back on a car, with an exhaust and maybe a turbo!
the dudes face when it first fired up was proof enough lol he was genuinely shocked it worked
@@mrrooter601 they should put it in a car
chrysler/dodge/plymouth did this to an inline six engine long ago, converted it from diesel to gasoline. these guys were right in their thinking, and i have known it possible for some time, but this is the FIRST time i actually SEEN one converted to gasoline.
@The Mosh it wont come out fake. research the chrysler slant six, straight 6 diesel converted to gasoline, then the block remade to lean over 30 degrees, same solid valve lifters, which is why my slant six engines rattle like diesel engines. atleast according to my research back when i was trying to find out what a 225-3 was.
Now we needa see what kinda power this makes when fitted back with a Turbo.
With 4mm taken off the piston top, it would be interesting to see if it would hole a piston. Or how much boost it would take to do it.
and old turbo is lock up got to get new turbo
@@squidwarddiesel8462 just gotta take one off one of the MANY random vehicle's they have.
@@Grimm-Gaming The old PAZ bus they have...wonder if the discarded engine has a turbo? If it has, it won't be a tiny little thing...!
Want to se turbo in that engine to 😁
This engine belongs in a convertible- converted to a hard top lmao
...in a manual converted to an automatic.
@@TerryHernlund You both are awesome. As well as this channel :-D
Something 4 wheel drive converted to 2 wheel drive.
its gonna need to go into into a small truck that was 4wd. converted to 2wd. then the top needs to be cut off to be made convertible. then that pesky auto swapped out for a manual. then the engine needs to be fitted with a turbo or supercharger. and driven to oblivion
these guys are always doing the experiments and random designs that I could only dream of actually accomplishing, always wanted to convert a diesel to gas!. People always tell me im crazy but I guess this proves im not!
look into vw tdi. i hate vw and audi but guys convert the tdi to gas for the stronger block and throw boost at them. i want to take a 2 stroke and fill it with diesel for some fun times. i already have a 15:1 comp ratio 2t and it doesnt like anything under 94 octane.
@@chehystpewpur4754 on this, another notable occurrence of this is in the Peugeot 205t16, the engine (or at least its block) was originally a diesel
I want to see this engine on a car to runs!❤❤
You can bet that is what they will do next, can’t wait
u definitely see that in the next video ! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT ! 15 minutes we'll this upload was long ,so be patient 😳😅😁
I actually want the engine suited up with an exaust and ran on a dyno.

I see you're a man of culture!
this guys are amazing quality content , we wish vlad a quick recovery
you guys should put it on a dyne after you convert it
dyno*
@@nukemansvk142 *dynamometer 🤣
Good !
Yes, i wonder how much power does a engine running on gasoline with diesel engines long stroke do.
@@rileyfenley522 xd
Put it in a car and do dyno test, it would interesting how HP has changed
And torque with the diesel crankshaft...
Horse power up, torque down
@@shawngoldsberry747 the type of fuel used wont magically increase the power. In fact it will be lower. Diesel engines are built different. Longer stroke, optimized valvetrain for low revs, heavier internals etc. Diesel fuel will provide more power in this engine configuration. Gasoline works better with engines that are designed to operate at high RPM.
@@dieselgeezer18 Yeah, like general aviation engines.
@@dieselgeezer18 Thats not been true for many years. A lot of modern diesels share architecture with their petrol counterparts and some even have a shorter stroke (BMW's spring to mind).
The pressures and requirements in a modern turbo DI engine aren't all that different regardless of fuel.
Outstanding!! Loved seeing it run! Thanks to the young man for stepping in while Vlad is recovering. Vlad, get well soon my friend.
Fantastic video guys! I can’t believe how well that engine ran after conversion! I wish Vlad a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him AND you back in videos soon!!
I'm glad Vlad is good and recovering from his illness. You got this !!!

Maybe he just call in sick because he's tired of this shit and just want to relax a few days
The starter must be relieved.
Down from 23:1 to “10:1” compression .
Starter be like , I now work like to do on halfdays.
@@stoneheart9679 The rotating assembly is lighter as well . -4mm of every piston.
Alternative video title, "1 Simple Trick to make your starter last FOREVER!"
and no flywheel
yea. but the main reason is that it would knock with that high compression on gasoline.
Feel better soon Vlad. Best wishes from Ontario Canada. Thanks for your crew covering for you. Great job.
Get well soon Vlad ! Lots of love from Canada ! And to the young man who finished off this video, great job buddy !
I love they use " in theory " method and get things to work. Great work guys!!!
Holy crap that was insane! Also wishing Vlad a speedy recovery!
You guys knew what you were doing, took your time, thought it through and made it work, keep up the good work! Wishing a speedy recovery for Vlad!
Have a speedy recovery Vlad! Great video! -From Australia

@@hojnikb dont forget it runs on gas tho 🤣
As usual a very entertaining video, absolutely love Garage 54 channel , and wish Vlad a very speedy recovery from his illness and hope to see him soon , from Northern Ireland UK 😎👍
Get well soon Vlad, amazing job there guys,well done,that distributor conversion was a brilliant idea 💡
This channel is great, always pushing the concepts.
"Whats the timing advance of a dug-up Toyota diesel converted to gasoline using Soviet car parts?"
"Thats a bullsh*t question."
"So you don't know?"
"Nobody could answer that!"
Vlad: Hold my Vodka......
Its not going to be a mile off the original Lada specs. Its using the same fuel, similar compression, the same carb settings - its just a larger engine so will do its thing at lower rpm. If its vacuum based advance that means it should match the carb and run close enough because its reference points are the same.
Ahh...Mr. Gambini…
Thank you for making this sort of videos! I very enjoy it while working!!
This is the best video yet. Genuinely amazing work.
Get well soon, Vlad. I hope you'll be 107% recovered in no time!
I can't wait for the guys to attach a flywheel and install that engine into a car. Get well soon, Vlad!
Why you all think it has no flywheel :D
@@kaihlis I don't think this engine could be started without a flywheel. On this engine (and almost every car engines) the starter motor rotates the flywheel, which is bolted to the crankshaft. A small starter motor couldn't turn a four cylinder engine's crankshaft, maybe just 'til the first compression stroke.
The starter motor has a small gear, while the flywheel is basically a larger gear. The gear ratio between the small and the larger gear makes the starter to be able to turn the crankshaft around, so the engine can start.
It seems you know all these, although it's cringy that many viewers don't have any clue about it. This channel isn't for car enthusiasts, at least I think so, it's only for entertaining young guys with some technical bounds.
@@baladar1353 Yes i do know these things pretty well since i modify/repair cars on daily basis. And it is allmost sad indeed that so many ppl doesnt know basics of how cars operate.
Here you are again giving. Content I didn’t know I needed! Favorite channel right here 🤘🏼
Another great video! Hope Vlad gets well soon! All the best for you guys.
I'm waiting for this engine to be fit in a car
It still has long stroke and a lot of volume in the chamber, perfect for running crazy boost with high amounts of fuel.
Can’t forget it was al designed to run 23:1. Every is strong. Perfect for high psi
Not to mention its all forged internals built for boost
Who need boost:)We need HP!
@@joe125ful boost makes hp
@@allinaday3526 Depend what turbo setup you have or you can have N/A engine too:)
Also boost is mostly about torque power,you can see that in cars like Tuned Supra,boost but insane turbo lag too..
I rather choose less boost/torque but same HP with 2 smaller turbos instead if single one,this is how boost work.
Congrats. It takes a really gifted mechanic to pull this off!
Great job guys!! Why it started straight away is only You did it right! Hope Vlad is allright!
I appreciate the fact that the word “problem” almost translates directly.
This engine now needs a huge turbo :D
Twinturbio fits better..
@@joe125ful twin turbo is not gonna do it, either Quad Turbo or one Giant Turbo
@@sorooshab Lol i really disagreed with you...use small turbos to eliminate turbo lag..some modern engines have 3 turbos like Audi SQ7 V8 for example.
@@joe125ful Bro we are talking about Garage 54 here, performance doesn't mean anything. its all about possibilities !
@@joe125ful Plus a supercharger or two.
Hello from Australia! I've been watching this channel since day 1 and have been waiting for you guys to give him a shot and host an experiment. He had a 107% success! Technically explained everything perfectly and hope to see more! Perhaps a co-host?
Good work team! Get well Vlad.
Great vidio lads and wishing Vlad a speedy recovery
I would love to see this motor on a lada!
Also get well soon Vlad
I like this young guy. Hope in future episodes, he tell that nerd stuff.
Truly outstanding!
Prayers lifted for Vlad.
"the compression on number four is.......blin" 🤣
Next time: Converting Diesel engine to run on hydrogen. ;)
Good idea
Is it possible to convert this diesel engine to electric? Lol
Easy to do,its probablly same as LPG conversion...
@@usern4metak3ns should be similar to any engine car - you just need to fit a prius/gs450h drivetrain(- the ice ofc).
more interesting, can you convert a gasoline engine into an diesel engine,
GM did that with the Olds Diesel! in 1978
Oldsmobile took a swing at that, and it didn't turn out so well.
In the old days they had an ignition system and dual fuel rails to start some of the bigger diesels, it would fire on the gasoline until it built compression, then the operator would close the compression lever, cutting off the gasoline and ignition, and then shunting in diesel. Guess it worked for awhile but they dont do it anymore i dont believe .
Might work but it will be very inefficient. Diesels have long stroke, while most gasoline engines don't. Thats why they make more torque and can achieve higher compression.
They should try this!!
Very nice project!
This is the kind of projects I really appreciate.
It is quite logic that the distributor fuel pump had the same gear as the camshaft as it has to run half the speed of the crankshaft.
Cheers from Belgium!
Vlad get well soon!! You sure have the best mechanics in the shop!! I never thought the engine would work. So now there is a new future for the diesel engines. Keep up this amazing work and video's. Compliments to the translators
Incredible video as always! Hope and pray Vlad feels well soon!
I can't remember which American car company it was, but they made a 5.0L engine that could be made as diesel or gasoline, depending on what parts they used at the factory. Though from what I hear, it wasn't good at either job, and got discontinued after a few years.
If i recall correctly it was an oldmobile engine
@GGALLIN1776 "Convert" is loose, they just designed it to be machinable on the same rigs. The blocks are MUCH heavier, but unfortunately they also have a gas head bolt pattern and size, which made the penny-pincher's decision to omit the water separator an eventually lethal decision.
I would call this a low compression success 😆 well done my boys.
Hope you’re doing well Vlad! You guys have the best content, keep it up 👍🏼
Brilliant work guys. I hope Vlad gets well soon.
Get well soon, although the lads filled in just fine. 107% I'd say...
I wanna see how much horsepower this makes
Also i love how the translator changes his pitch for each person, if I did it I would have maybe said something like person 2 or some dumb stuff like that
I applaud you translator
Hope you are on the way to recovery Vlad and the young guy in this video was amazing ! You guys really know your stuff !
Great job. Very interesting. Never thought, that this would work. But after watching a lot of your videos I think you make everything possible 👍
Next episode Vlad converts a Lada engine to run on diesel.
13:07 When a masterlock gets shamed
Bloody AMAZING!!! WELL DONE MATES! And a speedy recovery for Vlad!
Great job, young man. Love to see you do this more. Give best wishes to Vlad.
I just hope Vlad didn't get the fcking bug that has caused the world a headache since last year.

Feel better Vlad! Good job to all! Very good episode!!!
Great work guys!! Keep up this good work! Greetz from Holland
before everyone gets dissapointed when they fit the engine back in a car: diesel engines are a low rpm sort. maybe a 3k rev limit. the gas engines run 5 or 6k. but yes, I want to see the output numbers too.
Maybe reverse that torque converter they made, to use with this engine.
@@Reziac what will that do?
You also have much lower strain because of lower compression so you may be able to get higher rpm
@@ronamer1 As set up, it converted high RPM into torque. So -- reverse that, turn low RPM into more speed.
My diesel car has a 5k rpm redline, so not all diesels are slow engines. Also they are slower because diesel burns slower than gasoline
I remember Jon Bentley from Fifth Gear once tested an Astra 1.7 Turbodiesel (Isuzu engine) with petrol (gasoline) and the Astra performed better with petrol than with diesel. On the other hand, the petrol Escort 1.6 16v ran like crap when filled with diesel.
That Astra engine would very soon be dead.
@@mcplutt Depends on the pumps and injector materials, stock timing, and how hard it's ridden. First major issue is whether the pumps and injectors can live without lubrication.... some can. Second is whether or not the injector timing isn't too early since gasoline will pop off super-fast, and third is if the heat rejection is good enough to avoid torching holes in the pistons and melting the edges off the exhaust valves.
Some engines can definitely pull it off, just don't climb any hills where you need full throttle for a few minutes.
An Isuzu 1.7TD.... probably isn't one of those engines, and I'd want to start diluting that tank of gas with diesel the moment there was 2-3 gallons of head in it.
@@mfree80286 for compact passenger cars its regarded as one of the best and most reliable diesel engines ever made along with a great VE pump.... infact if you look at this toyota engine and the isuzu one they are very similar....same pump, similar head, same ohc config with mechanical tappets, same valve cover shape, same piston shape, similar sump, similar injectors and the infamous fuel return rail that always breaks when disassembling them...everything s similar also along with mitsubishi diesel engines too.....here we have one of those 1.7's with stock block, modified head and pump and runs 10 seconds on the quarter mile mounted on a nova....street cars are found everywhere around here packing about 250hp...3 or 4 bars of boost are common figures...they just dont break...some people fit larger piston rings, others just fit larger pump elements 11 or 12mm and a big turbo , and thats it ...those engines come stock with oil squirters to the pistons... they do have a tendency to overheat though so you cannot pull hard for long times when you are runnign high boost, even with bigger radiator etc
@@MrHBSoftware You're kind of missing the point though... can the pump and injectors survive without external lubrication, and " they do have a tendency to overheat though" is a big old red flag to never operate the engine on anything but straight diesel.
This channel just keeps on getting better and better 😀
Hope you get well soon Vlad! You are already missed! :) Great video! Love all of your experiments, keep them coming!

You guys are amazing! Not only do you guys try all the crazy things I wondered about as a child but you guys are so funny! Keep it up.....sending support and friendship from the USA
That was outstanding guys good job!
Nice job…. I owned a Chevrolet truck that had a gas engine converted to diesel. It was actually pretty tough. We abused it on a daily basis since it was only a farm runner. Used 90 weight gear lube for engine oil. We would take it into town and run a hose into the throttle body. Then dump tranny fluid in and smoke out the town. Even sunk it in a creek once. Pumped it out, primed the engine and fired it back up. Lol
It never laid down in the 10 years we had it. Ended up trading it for a Winchester model 70. Far as I know the guy still has it and drives it from time to time.
Good job! I was surprised you managed to get it running so well so quickly! Gotta see this in a car :)
The young guy presented really really well. Get well soon Vlad!
Talk about amazement, great work. Get well soon Vlad
