Jimbo reattached the spoiler, removed the antenna, and fixed the engine
He set new speed and MPG records, but I doubt it was from the antenna delete and reinstallation of the spoiler!

Jimbo installed a turbo! :)
He needed to fabricate many parts himself:

JImbo adjusts the tubo extensively
This seems like min-maxing and seemed like all work, no excitement:

Considering how some naturally-aspirated Diesels actually didn't respond so well to turbo, it might be interesting to find out if the Kubota would withstand with it.

It seems like he got everything figured out and it is running well.

He added boost and cut a vent in the roof.
It didn't seem like he accomplished much, just tried.
Boy can I relate!

At least an intercooler is supposed to increase reliability of the engine, which might be quite critical for such an undersized engine clearly overstressed.

Jimbo bought a 1969 Renault R10 and asked for engine swap suggestions.
He bought it off Mr. Goodpliers and said he could rebuild the engine, but that isn't what we do here.
The car only weighs around 1,550 pounds, so a small engine would go a long way, but I want to see if an engine powerful enough to actually cruise at highway speeds, not redline, would be more effective.

There was no Renault R10 in my country, yet the Dauphine which is quite similar used to be available here.

Jimbo modified the injector pump timing and add more boost for more speed and better fuel economy
At the end he pulled a dent from the Renault:
