Back in the 80’s in Brazil they used to convert the old chevrolet inline 6 261 engines from the old petrol chevrolet trucks to diesel. The conversion was made using the cylinder head from the Mercedes diesel OM 321. They used to use an adaptor plate to be able to bolt the cylinder head from the mercedes into the chevrolet block, then I’m not sure about the injector pump but it’s not hard to gear it onto the crank pulleys or using the distributor shaft as a source of 1/2 crank rotation speed. I believe they would adapt the diesel pistons onto the chevrolet rods, never got details about this conversion but spoke to people who done it themselves (My father). The engine would work quite good but wouldn’t last long because of the lack of support for the crankshaft (5 main bearings only).

Small correction: That's *_not_* a Velocity Stack. What they have is closer to a Tunnel Ram. A velocity stack is a cone inlet mounted *before* the throttle plate (butterfly), but most importantly, at the opening of the cone is an airfoil shape. It's that airfoil that causes air to actually _accelerate_ into the opening and down the throat of the cone; hence "velocity". Almost like ram-air -- on an airplane, not the cold-air mounted on the hood that we called ram air in the muscle era -- but at a standstill, since it does with without the use of a headwind. _BONUS FACT: Cooling towers, those big ""smoke stacks"" of a nuclear power plant (used on any steam power facility, coal before nuclear), is actually an upside-down Velocity Stack. The whole cooling tower is not sitting flush against the ground, but is raised up. As the hot air rises, it draws in cool air through the bottom, then rushes up and out the smaller top opening._ Aside from that, you're totally correct on everything else!

There is a built-in governor in the diesel pump, makes sense that it ramps up fueling with the revs.

this was exactly how 80s mercedes fuel injection on their 6 and 8 cylinder usdm cars worked, they used a sort of "scale" as a throttlebody, mounted on the top of the pump. The farther down that plunger moved due to vaccum, the longer duration the mechanical injectors would spray. Very simple physics in hindsight, as our boy Vlad here showed us he got a hand for doing literally with his fingers!!!

This is the sort of thing I’ve always wanted to do to see if it worked in theory. Garage54 does all the amazing stuff my mind conjures up. This shows high pressure port injection works.

I think it's all about the speed and timing. By getting the correct amount of fuel into the cylinder almost instantly after the compression stroke, the fuel has more time to mix with oxygen in the down stroke it creates a vacuum and force mixes the oxidizer and fuel even more thoroughly it's like a secondary atomizer similar to experiments when water boils at room temperature under a vacuum the gasoline is locked in place and evaporating.

On the old gasoline MFI systems in 60’s Mercedes they actually have a small oil line from the crankcase that delivers a very small amount of oil to the pistons within the MFI pump. It is subsequently burned in the engine. This was one of the reasons MFI for gasoline never took off after the emissions regulations of the 70’s kicked in.

Perhaps try upgrading it with tensioner, better pump mount, and try tuning it with an AFR probe to modulate the pump and throttle body optimally together (with the gas pedal cable, as it's likely running nicely because the fuel get's sprayed super fine, which likely mitigates a bit the effects of it running really rich or lean - as a matter of fact new gasoline turbo engines with direct injection use this high pressure injection effect exactly for the same reason). Great experiment, the engine doesn't sound at all like a lada. Almost like a smooth R4 bmw engine.

Awesome! At diesel fuel pressures, (1800 to 2000 psi), the gas is instantly turned to a fog that mixes perfectly with all the air it can get. Put the electric turbo on it and hang on.

Make two stroke lada engine!!!

Fit an automatic Oiling system for the fuel to it, so you dont have to mix Oil into the Gas seperatly and fit a trumpet onto the Trottlebody so the air can be sucked in way faster

man, every time i am thinking i will just watch a quick 5 or 10 minute video, you guys get me. I love you guys

I'm certain the atomization of the fuel from the port injection and diesel injectors is much better than a stock carbureted lada engine, letting the engine make more power and be more efficient

I love how responsive the engine is and how hard you can rev a Lada engine. Did all kinds of shit with my Niva and the engine held on until the body was rusted useless...

A little bit of helpful information, there should be a screw you can adjust on the side of that high pressure diesel pump that will allow you to change the duration length of the fuel pulses for each injector also the golden ratio should be according to the math I've ran between throttle plate and fuel pump should be 3:1 the 3 being the air and the 1 being fuel. So in layman's terms if you crack the throttle all of the way on the intake you should only open the diesel pump throttle by 1/3 of its movement. The stoic mixture for fuel to combust is quite a wide and varied range, the only difference being there's a very small window of hyper efficiency where the fuel is completely burnt or there is no detonation occurring from running to lean or pig rich to wash out the plugs fire. I recommend finding a BMX bicycle brake cable a Teflon coated one to run from the fuel pump to where the throttle body cable is and run them parallel and have them pulled at that 3:1 ratio by using different sized cambered circle guides to regulate pull distance. Not sure if you know this or not but in the early 40s there were a couple cars that experimented from the factory with high pressure mechanical fuel pumps, also in most race applications with cars that run on methanol they have a mechanical high pressure fuel pump that is very similar to a diesel mechanical high pressure fuel pump.

It will be great to see the afr at certain rpms. Measure it with wideband gauge.

Put her on the dyno. Would be curious to see the power band and hp compared to the stock configuration.

I would so set a servo controller on an arm and connect it to the throttle body to open and close the pump accordingly with a large servo, it would even it out even more and the air fuel mix could be tuned perfectly. Atomization with diesel injectors help as well. I am wondering if the pump is also getting a boost since you don't see diesels revving that high.

It would be very interesting to test it on a dyno and compare it with an unmodified engine to see how much extra you gain.

I mean the diesel combusts when there is enough compression so the timing will always be advanced and there for backfiring and working against the pistons. If you can utilize sparkplug holes like making a tube that connects the injector it could be perfectly tunable besides the valve timings. Of course it will never be perfect, but still straight injection. As that engine stands now, pump timing really wont matter, because it is the intake air that desides when the fuel goes in.

Now you can place a Turbo on the engine and adjust the fuel with the Diesel pump. This system is like the first mechanical injection. Good job my friend !!!!!

I want to see this thing on the dyno compared to a bone stock engine.

Now all that is left is to convert a gas Lada engine into a diesel. Put the injectors in the spark plug holes, put a bunch of weld into the combustion chambers to up the compression, and go!

You need to link throttle and fuel pump together so that it gets more air when it gets more fuel.

Since the pump setting never changes, the air/fuel ratio depends on the throttle position. So be careful, the more you open the throttle, the leaner it gets.

the pump goes up on revs with the engine(and does more revs, pumps more gas injection cycles). the problem is more of the opposite, that driving part throttle at high revs gets you same fuel as full throttle (provided that the full throttle behavior is okay).

Yep, they need to hook up a wideband o2 sensor in the exhaust. That way they should be able to watch and correct the mixture.

The higher the revs the more line pressure. The lower the revs the less pressure. And with what we see in the video being the engine able to rev up top and still have the power to pull is a sign of enough (or more than that) fuel to create the power and is not going that lean (too lean and you start bogging down...not enough fuel to make good enough combustion)

True, it is running well and revs up and makes good power, so perhaps it’s not as bad as I thought. But at a minimum, the mixture is uncontrolled. Would be interesting to see the readings in real time.

@@facusan2339 they'd need to devise some more mechanical control like kugelfischer injection had, which is another similar thing to this what they built. without having some more valves or bypass(back to tank) that operate somehow from vacuum, throttle position or such it's basically just a linear this many revs gets you this much fuel regardless of anything else going on. the bypass back to tank might be easier than having a valve before the injector. I'm not sure how the ww2 era airplane injection worked, but there was some.

So reversing the throttle setup to where the pump is adjust to your door pedal and your air intake is wide open will make that car extremely efficient.

now hack a diesel pump to use as a paint sprayer, or water jet for cutting things.

An actual success! You have improved a Lada 👏👏👏👏

This works much better than my old Hilborn racing system. They use constant flow injectors but vary pressure (much lower than this) with rpm and throttle opening. It's almost impossible to run on the street due to poor mixture control. I was TOTALY surprised to see it run this good!! I expected a lot of swearing just to get it to start and then even more when trying to drive it! When you are opening the throttle blade, you are leaning it out. (All racing MFI systems have a "barrel" valve hooked to the throttle to control mixture with throttle position.) When you open the Diesel throttle, you SHOULD be flooding it. I have built a lot of multi carb race motors, and boy, you can spend a lot of time messing with jets, etc especially daily driving it. Even going from your warm shop to the cold outside would make a big difference to a carburetor. That's why racers, especially with MFI setups, carry thermometers, barometers, and humidity gauges to calculate air density to jet properly day to day or day to night, its that finiky especially on gasoline. Alchohol is much more forgiving. But not this setup! It just EATS! it has to be that the fuel is vaporized rather than atomized. You could connect a simple choke cable to the Diesel pump to play with leaning it out while cruising just to see your mpg. A vacuum advance from a distributor hooked up to the Diesel throttle with a spring with different holes to hook it in and limiter screws to change fuel rate would make it more responsive Resist the idea of using an AFR sensor to tune it. But one to monitor it would be fine to record what IT wants. I bet you will find that sucker is running fine all over the place on AFR due to the vaporized fuel. I know from racing and dynoing engines that some like it lean, and some liked to smoke a little for max performance and not to be tuned to someone's perfect AFR numbers. Im intrigued! Also, mount the pump to the engine, or you will fracture the high pressure lines eventually. Switch to a cog belt drive. You will probably find that the Diesel pump has its own internal governor that will shut down your fuel at a certain RPM. The biggest thing is to not lean it out so much that you hole a piston under load. Most Diesel injection pumps DO NOT change pressure to the nozzles with throttle changes, they change how long injection lasts and they advance or retard the timing also. Some Cummins engines with the PT (pressure/time) system did vary pressure as well. Good luck! Great show!

For a moment I thought they were doing a bad conversion to a diesel engine, but I was surprised, and I could see the expression of happiness on your face! Glad it turned out so well, I loved it! Now put the injectors instead of the spark plugs, diesel fuel, increase the compression and you will get a diesel Lada!

A wideband sensor would go a long way to show more results but likley hood is its really rich to start and comes alive as wakes up. Great video :)

I love your channel! You guys are nuts with all of your experiments! I have an idea for you. How about taking an unfortunate Lada 4 cylinder, using stock size pistons, overbore each cylinder 0.010", 0.020", 0.030" and 0.040" respectively to see how much piston slap and excess clearance it can handle? Maybe use individual header pipes to see how much each cylinder behaves with blow-by and how much compression loss occurs? Either use stock size rings or oversized rings in the respective cylinders but each with a stock size piston. Give it a try! Thanks and I look forward to seeing the results! The last thing any engine wants to hear is, "Hey there fellows! Today we are going to abuse this here Lada four banger!" Greetings from an American fan. I am living and working in Saudi Arabia as an aircraft maintenance technician.

I really like this one. I would like to see someone do some further testing with it. Like real world fuel economy and power numbers on a dyno. Before any changes then after.

I'm not surprised this works fine. Mechanical multipoint fuel injection has been the method for supplying fuel to airplane engines for very long. Simple, reliable, and powerful.

In addition to my comments below, I need to add that you just happened to get the right style of governor in your pump, (limiting speed) . There are two types of governor, limiting speed and variable speed or throttling governor. Variable speed should actually be called constant speed because when you move the control it adjusts the governed rpms not the fuel rate like yours does. So, like for tractors etc that want to hold a constant rpm as set by the operator even when going downhill or pulling hard the constant speed governor varies the fuel rate to hold the rpms at the selected point. If you had a constant speed governor as soon as the rpms came up unless you also moved the pump throttle up it would cut the fuel off. If the rpms dropped below that setting it would flood the engine trying to pick up speed to match the throttle rpm setting as if it was in the Diesel engine. However, limiting speed governors DO vary the fuel rate with load but only at idle (that's why the Lada started so easy, the pump automatically dumps in full fuel until idle speed is reached) or when "floored" at that point they will adjust the fuel rate according to load to hold maximum rpms but nowhere else in between. That's one reason why the old 2 stroke Detroits earned a reputation for being gutless in trucks. Unlike Cat or Cummins that had constant speed governors (think cruise control) For highway use. On road Detroits only had limiting speed governors (stamped with an LS on the tag)and wouldn't automatically react to going up a hill etc unless the pedal was on the floor and they were wound out. In dozers, tractors, scrapers etc they had variable (constant) speed governors (stamped VS) and because of being two stroke they responded quicker to a load than a turbochaged 4 stroke and did so with about 1/2 the cubic inches. So, in short most tractor pumps won't work and some on road pumps either. Hope this helps. I certainly would like to see this refined!

Since no one has mentioned this, I will enlighten everyone. Diesels have no throttle plate, as a gasoline engine does. Diesel engine speed and power output are determined solely by the volume of fuel delivered by the injection pump. A gasoline engine's speed is regulated by airflow, making the throttle plate a key part. Essentially what has been done here is creating two throttle linkages, one for fuel volume, the other for air flow. Hence, they must be synchronized, much like a multi carburetor setup.

Definitely much more torque 💨 Enjoyed this video guys 👍

I'm just glad this channel can still exist.

Those springs to hold the pump look great.

That Hunter sure did blast his hunting dog.

Vlad it gets better - that pump has a boost enrichment compensator built in. It you run a turbo or supercharger you only need to feed boost to that compensator and it will fuel up as boost builds. Also the "throttle" on the diesel pump isn't really a throttle - its an enrichment adjuster. The rpm is dictated by engine speed and that lever adjusts how much fuel you get per revolution. You can also adjust that with the screw under the cover but I would say its close to correct the way thats running so maybe leave it alone. The boost compensator is adjustable too - you take off thet "hat" on the top and there is an eccentric plunger - turn it to allow more or less fuel depending on boost level. A lot of the Japanese pumps are restricted too - usually with a white nylon washer on the top of the enrichment plunger. You can have a lot of fun with these.

Most older diesel engines with injection pumps don't use a throttle butterfly. It is normally a straight pipe. The diesel injection pump adds fuel to rev engine and take fuel away to decrease engine revs

Really enjoying this episode. Big kids playing with automobiles. Love it all. Keep it up!😎

It's all about the mixture of the air and fuel and fuel into the incoming air charge into the intake valve. That's why they used multi port fuel injection for so long here in the states. It was basically the best of both worlds of diesel and gasoline engines combined. But the fact remains that the atomization of the air fuel mixture with the high pressure pump and injectors makes the gasoline almost like dust before it even hits the backside of the intake valve. The reason why a suction style roots supercharger makes so much more power than a blow through system does. Otherwise Top fuel dragsters would be running a blow through system. With methanol especially when the mixture is so rich that it's almost hydrolocking the cylinders with the amounts of liquid fuel being injected the roots style superchargers take the air and fuel and helps to atomize the fuel even more so than just the injection system can supply. This is how these engines can run on such crazy amounts of fuel! Without a supercharger to increase the air flow and to basically be a mixer to atomize the fuel even more during the rotation process that it can stuff more air and fuel into those cylinders than they would never see in a naturally aspirated format. If you can atomize gasoline to the point of almost vaporizing it your fuel economy is almost doubled. Chrysler Corp found all this BS out back in the 1960s while doing R&D on their engines and found that they could increase fuel efficiency by increasing the incoming fuel temperature which aided in the faster atomization of the gasoline molecules. This will then produce more BTUs in the burn 🔥 rate efficiency of the gasoline which normally leaves the cylinder only half burned off most times, which is why they use a catalytic converter with air injection to provide the burning off of the rest of the hydrocarbons which leaves the engine unburned. The fact is the faster the engine is turning, the less time it has to try and extract as much BTUs of energy from the fuel. This is why you see the flames coming out of the headers of a dragster engine even at idle, the mixture isn't being broken up good enough so raw unburned fuel is able to escape, then is burned outside the engine in the exhaust pipes. The theory is that if the engine gets to the point where it is able to mix and burn the mixture effectively enough to make power and lots of it. The downside is of course that a ton of unburned fuel is wasted because it's being ejected before its even halfway done burning. Methanol burns extremely cool and this is why so much is needed to convert it into usable BTUs of power. But unlike gasoline, because it runs so cool and likes to cool down the intake temperatures as well through evaporation the engines are capable of making much higher boost levels without the serious problems with gasoline and preignition or detonation occurring. Bottom line is the more you can atomize their gasoline the more efficient it becomes and you don't need to rely so heavily on the ignition system to light it and keep it light throughout the stroke. If you have a perfectly filled cylinder with the perfect 14.7:1 air to fuel ratio Top to bottom and side to side, in theory you'll achieve a full burn and extract the most naturally occurring BTUs from your cylinders capacity. This is why heads and camshafts are the heart of almost any 4 stroke engine and their efficiency is determined by how easily the engine can pump air which is not much different than if it were pumping a fluid. Everything comes down to the same thing efficiency in every aspect of the principle of thermal and fluid dynamics. The more you can get in the more you can technically get out when everything is working in sync.

Great comment.

Awesome experiment guys, thanks for sharing.

It works really well ... 2oL\100km fuel consumption...

Of course it runs well, the high injection pressure and the fine nozzles make for great atomization.

glad they did the 2 cycle oil trick. That's a good one! will clean diesel inectors too

I love channels like this, where it's just a case of how do you control with fuel injection with an angle grinder and zip tie. No laptops in sight :)

super cool guys.... you should try a diesel turbo on the Lada .... that would be wild to see it hit boost and the pump would keep enuf fuel for it ..... rad guys peace n love stay safe n build on

Our burnout cars have a pump similar to this, we run them on methanol and can adjust how much fuel goes into it to run it richer or leaner with a lever

I don't quite get how it's working either, but my *guess* would be it's that the _"pump throttle"_ he's adjusting is more akin to a pressure regulator. It's actually the engine RPMs that when increased (throttle opened), is turning the pump faster, generating more *flow* (dumping in more fuel) at that constant pressure... 🤷‍♂️ It would explain why he didn't really increase the RPMs much after a certain point, because the fuel was being atomized sufficiently already, before the pump was cranked up to "100%" _(to borrow his term, since at the end he mentioned it only being at 85%)_ In reality, this is how the original Fuel Injection systems worked way back in the day (I think the first *car* with one came out in the 1950s; war planes having it before that). It was all mechanical and that's why we later, to differentiate them, dubbed the new system EFI: *electronic* fuel injection.

Now it's time to add a turbo.... That would be perfect with the ability to adjust your fuel level...👍👍👍👍

That runs super well!

If you get air in a diesel system you can just use a gasoline rag at the intake. Learned that from working on diesel lifts.

Great shows guys Kudos to the editors and VO Look up a cross ram hemi or 426 cross ram to see the best tourque intake manifold ever made. Notice how intake tubes dip down to exhaust and is 3 feet long. That curve matters a lot for tourque. Tunnel ram manifolds are for RPM and horsepower.? They had a problem from exhaust manifold boiling gas in float bowls and creating vapor lock. Check those old Chyslers. Diesel injectors are under much higher compression pressures. I always thought it squirts variable by electric servo and CPU but at 7k rpm that would be insane valving. So it must use the piston pressure to open. Maybe its a electro mechanical trigger each intake stroke when it senses vacume That would allow the engine to always fire at right time. Then again maybe its just pooling the gas as if your squirting from a bottle. Set that rig up on a bench so we can see it squirt under prssure and SLOW MOTION cam on your phone. Internet came to late for us old timers Anyway just saying Try alcohol with that injector? Also did you ever hear of a reed valve? Or a circular flat valve? Its like a one way flap valve Great shows

A AFR gauge would make it easier to get the maximum effect out of that set up. Plus, it will make it way easier to tune. I think adding a small turbo would also turn that Lada into a monster. Provided the engine didn't grenade from the added pressure.

Some ford escorts in the 80s toyed with mechanical pumps, they worked fairly well but was overly complicated by the time injection was needed for emission and started to faulter with emissions
