  • EGR is pretty normal for modern engines...

  • LOL !

    I love how they make the exhaust gas look so clean !

    Thanks to Renault, no need to climb montains to find pure quality air !

  • Oh no. Not another fucking diesel. Why is there so much emphasis on diesel engines nowadays. Thirty years ago if you said you were going to put a diesel in a super mini or cabriolet, they would have shot you for being insane. I love the refinement of the petrol engine and hat the clatter of the diesel. Hyundai even do a 1.1 diesel, but why? Will they even try a 0.8 diesel for their smallest car? I hate diesel. Bloody oil burners.

  • is this e diesel motor? wtf, why is is still spraying with the piston going down, doesn't look normal

  • @Arlind86 Modern diesel engines employ a pilot and post injection method as well as the main injection. The reason for this is to quiet down the knock of the combustion process. So this is perfectly normal. That's why modern diesels are much quieter than their older ancestors. Electronic control units have made it possibe as the older mechanical diesel systems were very noisy and smoke belching.

  • @Arlind86 afterburn for economic emissions

  • exhaust gas recirculation? there's only one place exhaust should go and that's out the tail pipe.

  • damn that thing looks like it has insaine compression

  • French cars have an engine inside ?

    Since when ?

  • cam lobes, poppet valves..... junk

  • wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • I can make this car do a wheelie on forza 3

  • Awesome

  • Sweet video

  • Comment removed

  • Must be something wrong here...It can't be a renault engine, as it is working! That said, its a cool video.

    Diesels should still be mechanical injection though!

  • hey pupils if u want higher mileage from your vehicle tear off that catalytic converter from the system

  • @COD5252 I'd be interested in seeing the calculations proving catalyst removal = higher mileage. I suppose one could run this Renault engine in a garage all day without getting C02 poisoning.

  • Comment removed

  • @seapeddler ummm, I think you misunderstood what the catalyst does...it's main function is to break down NOx into nitrogen and oxygen, it also converts (some of the) hydrocarbons into CO2 using residual oxygen, but it does not have the power to rip CO2 apart...also, the particulate filter burns the soot producing even more CO2...

    You would definitely drop dead in such a garage ;-)

  • @AKAtheA I basically understand the catalyst. I also have an AIR system which supposedly cools the exhaust upstream to prevent NOX formation, before entering catalyst. I see no reason why a catalyst could not replicate tha actual air we breathe. Palladium, platinum, rhodium, etc. And maybe there is a catalyst that does it all at a lower temp with even enhanced zeolite crystals. I was just asking for calculations, that's all. Jeez, I'm going to bury my head. I am a catalyst misunderstander.

  • @seapeddler the reason why it can't "replicate" (produce?) breathable air is because there's not enough energy (heat) to break down CO2...

    As for NOx formation, in all combustion engines it's a compromise between CO (carbon monoxide) which is created when the combustion temp. is too low and NOx which form when the temps. are high...the catalyst allows NOx, CO and hydrocarbons to decompose using residual heat...in case of hydrocarbons heat is actually created...

  • @seapeddler also, if unburnt fuel manages to get into the catalyst, the heat from it's decomposition can actually overheat and destroy it, that's the reason why you won't see one on a carburetor engine...

    It basically allows chemical reactions to happen which otherwise wouldn't, but it itself doesn't enter the reaction (remains unchanged after the reaction takes place)...simple chemistry ;-)

  • @AKAtheA Old Chevs from the late 70' had big cat convertors, with pellet catalyst bed. New ones are ceramic honeycomb I think with the palladium/platinum in the matrix. Carb should not affect newer honeycomb ceramic structures. If you wish to prevent futher dispute, lets' all buy a Tesla. Now that guy was a pure genius. Can't argue with geniuses these days. Electricity is the best way.

  • @seapeddler well, if someone chucks out the $100k it costs, I'll take it any day, but for the time being, battery powered cars are just too damn expensive (which is a damn shame...)

    On the cat vs carb - the Opel Corsa I currently drive is absolutely phobic about residual fuel in the exhaust (can't completely drain the tank f.e.), and that is a high-pressure direct injection...are you sure it wasn't SPI instead of a carb?

    p.s. Don't forget about rhodium sponge, it was common earlier...

  • @AKAtheA Wait a minute here ! Before the Biblical Flood that destroyed Atlantis, vehicles were energized wirelessly, via. large crystal transmission towers. This 'was' the future. We are gradually re-inventing and introducing clean crystal energy. Anyway, the Carter YFA carb hasn't given me any problems with the generic ceramic honeycomb cat I have. And barring sabotage, it never will. When price of electric vehicles come down, people can stop abusing each other for profit.

  • @seapeddler now now, even the Chinese need to eat something and live somewhere...unless there's a better power source discovery, it's still going to be expensive...total industry robotization anyone? :D

  • @AKAtheA The worlds' population could stand comfortably in the city of Los Angeles. The earth is basically deserted. The sun is perhaps 1.39 million km. in dia. The earth is @ 12 760 km in dia. Stars are fed by the galactic core. Stars don't pay for their energy. Galaxies don't pay for their energy. So, after the Atlantis cataclysm, an handful of evil people took power and misrepresent true science for profit. There never will be an energy crisis. What's China got to do with it?

  • @AKAtheA : what makes you think that Chinese don't need to eat and live? what makes you think ur more deserve to eat and live on this planet? dddddisgusting!

  • @ruanzhenyan sense - your comment makes none...

  • I like the idea of the one-sprocket timing chain. Does anyone know if it reduced problems with chain slap? As no tensioner is really needed?

  • pretty cool how those injectors can continue spraying fuel on the way down maximizing efficiency.

  • no, they have glow plugs. diesel fuel is ignited by compression and heat instead of a spark.

  • Coolest video on YouTube. Do diesel engines not need spark plugs??

  • Anybody know what Renault cars are powered by these great engines?

  • looks like the new Renault Laguna uses this engine. (idk if this is a special edition turbo diesel)

  • these engines are primarly used in powering an Formula 1 car due to there high RPM rateing

  • No it is in fact a diesel.

  • the whole time i was watching this i was thinking "Wow, there is nothing I dont like about this engine!" Alot of these features i had as ideas myself. When I realized there were no spark plugs it clicked....it's a diesel! Even cooler!

  • im just dazed this is amazing

  • wow, and all this time i thought my car worked because of my high esteem of her even though she preferred an appetite of overpriced foreign oil...
