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.

Even 6 or 7 horsepower ones have space still lol
That's awesome. You should call it mini smog.
So was the goal to have a tow truck in the end? lol I like it. You could put a plow in front of that.
I think what you're thinking is the exhaust is the intake from the turbo..? But what do I know.. LOVE the bike... Now you can literally smoke other minibikes.
When ridden, it will have 3 dipsticks.
One of the coolest Mini's I've seen yet. Nice job
dude that thing is bad ass 😉
Cleaner than a Volkswagen.

Haha I love the puffs of smoke when you hit the gas from a standstill. Looks like it should be pulling a sled for distance on a dirt track. Sweet little bike!
TurboS, thank you for that. You have restored my faith in humanity and the individual! Happy New Year!

love the smoke!
It is good to see a young man experimenting and learning. Keep it up!!!
Man, i could do this all day, ride the back roads with this!!
that's a great little bike, no more pollution than a truck, or a bus. lots of fun.
1000 mosquitos died in the making of this interesting turbo diesel smokey video 7yrs ago!! Definitely not compliant to Euro 5 Emission requirements
That's awesome! Such a cute lil turbo too
Way cool mod to that mini bike, love the ingenuity!
I wonder how that turbo diesel minibike engine would work on an old softail Harley frame.
I Would not want that by my Nutz , I seen one of them motors blow up!

Is there a general rule for how much boost is too much, for a small diesel engine?
@wyattlarrick3246
5 жыл бұрын
@@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.

When I was in college grrrrrrrls used to actually fight over who I would take home because my Harley was soooo loud and vibrated soo much. They actually said that they would cum several times before we ever got to where we were going.
That is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!
you should build a kit and sell it
Torquey little thing!
A diesel mini bike! That is by far the coolest mini bike i have ever seen!
That has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen I want one and it dumps pretty good to!

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

@TurboSuperiority

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.

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

Smokes worse then my 2 stroke
Thanks Matt! I think this motor in a Ruckus would be amazing! If I ever find a Ruckus without a motor for cheap or free I'll have to do a re-power with Diesel!
Cool. looks like its got a lot of torque too. Nice project.
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.
Very well done I think Jim carry would defiantly be impressed, I am
That is awesome, and I bet the neighbors all love it too!
Hahaha, there's somwthing that makes me laugh with this mini ad then there's nostalgia from it taking off. Love it.
Thanks for the quick response! Also looks like that's the rout I will have to go for my project. Thanks Again!
Well done !
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.
Wow I never thought I would see a Minibike rolling coal
Honda grom has some competition now
Thanks! The turbo is big for this engine and laggy but definitely gives it more power when it starts to spool.
This is badass
very innovative man!
Right on dude, that's very cool
The turbo is a IHI RHB-31. It is the smallest production turbo made and is what's found on a Honda CX-500 Turbo motorcycle.
cool mini bike!!
this is amazing.
Love the smoke cloud. Looks fun.
That is awesome!
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.
Badass dude!
Haha great build dude! Added to my favorites.
Looks like a perfect alternative to those bikes you dont have to register. I love me some diesel. And if I lived in a city I would def have you build one for me.
Coolest mini-bike ever. I wish I had one.
Real nice dude.
Love it!! very good job ..turbos rule. And love the smoke ..
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!
Dude that's SICK ! I bet its a blast around the neighborhoods and would be fun in a city. The take off looks faster than most scooters I've seen. Well, comparably cc'd anyways. Great job I'll be looking for one to hit the markets soon! LOL!
@05clenharth Thanks for that info! I really had no idea on how to adjust the fuel system so I appreciate the advice and will give it a try at some point.
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.
Thanks for the message, the engine is an industrial engine from a generator or pressure washer. They sell a smaller version of it too that is 6 hp. Either one seems to work great for a go kart.
Fricken awesome
this is prime man !
Dude keep it up!!! Great. These type of projects make live worth living.

Thanks for the nice comment! I do appreciate it.
I'm from aurora too man that's a pretty sweet build
That's awesome, that thing move too.
His voice with the vibrations. 😂😂😂😂
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.
Thats awesome
Yes! It's pretty strong after riding it for even a short time.
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!
love it, smoke and all!
I have a diesel Royal Enfield with the same engine. Started out at 102 mpg (imperial gallon) under factory fuel settings, now, after adjusting the fuel screw & fine tuning, I'm getting 166 mpg without trying. No loss of performance.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
