Turbo Diesel Mini Bike

Start at 2:13 to skip the intro, or click here for a helmet-cam ride: • Turbo Diesel Mini Bike...
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.

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.

    Update.. I made a few changes recently and have some improved numbers to show for it! 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!
