Robot Cantina: 212cc Insight and Kubota Saturn.

He only produced shorts for the previous couple of weeks. The forums don't know how to handle those. This is an ad for the channel: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Mktw1NSYmvc He worked on a dirt bike: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vrN0dFPhc14

Jimbo installs the MADMAN EMS3 engine monitoring system in the Kubota diesel powered Saturn. Then Jimbo builds a stupid charger out of a leaf blower and tests it. Will the leaf blower help the turbocharged Kubota engine? Tune in and find out.

It was good to see him up to his usual antics again.

Boost increased performance slightly, but lost it again when he disconnected the exhaust, although the exhaust gas temperatures went down without an exhaust system:

So, in the end, as long as the engine can handle, either boosting the hell out or revving the hell out of can make even the most unlikely engine to work at least reasonably on any vehicle?

People keep demanding NOS.

There was a time when it seemed easier to find NOS here too.

Unfortunately, fuel economy dropped 1/7th with the new overdrive, so he changed it back.

He needs an underdrive?

New Old Stock preserves the resale value.

I was going to go to your aircrete threads, but I'll leave this here:

1933 Blood Graphene - A Way To Make Graphene From Blood, Eggs Or Milk

1934 Simple Bioplastic Made Stronger Than Steel

First he removes the casein from milk and makes graphene, then he takes the casein and produces powdered whey adds 0.5% graphene. 20 tons psi at 135 degrees in a press form.

The claim is that 3mm (1/8th") sheet will stop a 9mm bullet. My immediate thought is cosplay dragon scale maille. It would be more comfortable that rigid plate. It might even attract 'chicks' or 'broads'.

The hood braces were in the way, so he removed them for about a foot in each direction, but then used a jigsaw, which could have cut through the braces.

I was typing this while writing and thought "Having the exhaust in front of him will be problematic since he drives with his window open."
"Let's see if I can still breathe while driving the car, which is kind of important."
He drove less than normal because the fumes were overwhelming.
"The windows were down which upset some people."
People keep insisting he uses off-road fuel, so not for the first time he clearly showed the fuel before he added it to the tank, and since people claimed temperature differences would affect the actual fuel economy, he showed the temperature before he ran a fuel economy run, and said that if it wasn't the same temperature afterward, he would wait.

He said that he has tortured the Saturn more than enough. He will try more experiments with the Kubota, but in a different car.

Doesn't he have two more Saturns?!

He will torture the Renault next:

Once in a while I see a Diesel-swapped ZJ Jeep Grand Cherokee with a hood stack. Smoke getting inside doesn't seem to be much of a matter of concern, even though that stack seems to be short enough to not become a problem for visibility.

At the end he showed security footage of a tree trying to fall on a guy working on the street, but he rolled out of the way just in time!

Hey hey hey! I broke 12,000 posts!

I realized when Mom came in and I sat, waiting for her to get to the point.
