UB Turbo Diesel Snowmobile; Acceleration Test

[mynamesmitchel]

I want to see a recreation oriented diesel sled. this is like a diesel converted datsun that gets 50 mpg but tops out at 55 on flat ground. Now lets go the other direction, a turbo cummins with the injector pump turned up, and 40 pounds of boost. just for fun. Its kinda fun to roll thick black clouds of smoke sometimes.

holy crap! my push mower goes faster than that................gay ,...if you burn fuel hot enough it is relatively clean no matter what, also quite a contraversal subject i guess as everyone has an opinion as they should; but keep the namecalling out of it please

Nothing compared to this beast watch?v=oiyFf26woLk

[mullett2009]

That thing is slow as shit. I don't care if it is good for the environment.

[UncleBubbles94]

And the first half of the video is my wasted time.

[kenneykole]

Diesel is better for enviroment than gas.

[MrCbutter45]

you are a tard it injects fuel after the turbo and before the dpf to raise the egt's to allow the dpf to be cleaned but it is a bull shit system and has to repaired all the time I am a diesel mechanic and we are always busy with issues because of this the government should have just stayed out of it

[ding0925]

Amen!!!

[tilex08]

gas is more of a solvent. diesel is a petroleum

[damasta227]

icic thxs for the correction

[snowbell01]

lol my gosh! slow whats the point of putting that effort into it to make it go like 10mph max exell?

[24preacherboy]

Its good for the enviroment. If it takes you longer to go a mile, you are having fun for a longer duration. Hence more fun with less miles traveled.

[andrew6606]

wow that thing sucks

[JohnnyTaco01]

I was always under the impresion that diesel was a "dirty fuel" compared to gasoline or alcohol...what's the point here?

[89Daytona89]

Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines and with current fuel and emissions technology is as clean or cleaner than gasoline.

[damasta227]

thats not true the only way you will get any diesel engine to be cleaner than a gasoline engine is if you have a diesel particulate filter and thats when this filter collects all the "bad" particles from the exhaust and injects diesel into the filter and burns it up some how i dont know how it would be but the state of california proves it

[JeepinDG]

@89Daytona89 diesel fuel has more energy per liter or gallon then gasoline, however it has a slow burn rate which is why diesel engines don't usually rev over 3000 rpm

diesel is a "dirty fuel" because it is less refined then regular gasoline and emits particulates (the Black smoke diesel fans love) out of the engine under load,--- however new emissions systems burn the particulate in the catalytic converters and in the exhaust system and eliminates the harmful effects

[rinsetwice]

@JohnnyTaco01 diesel exhaust is just carbon or soot, so it is more dirt than pollution, i think its stupid to put a diesel engine in a snowmobile, diesel gels in cold weather and is harder to start in the cold.

[dadofminime]

snobell! Your a dumbshit! ALL diesels DO NOT have a turbo! Now, they should, diesels require ALOT of air, and naturally aspirated, they cannot get enough to build sufficient power for most applications, BUT, they ALL DO NOT HAVE TURBOS! I agree, it ws the point that the guy made a diesel sled move and function!

[hardli]

that was slow!!!!

[Lowrida3369]

are you kiddin me? that was the worst acceleration ive ever seen! me sitting on a wagon with a 1 hp engine would go faster!

[bradsmells]

Snowbell37:

not all diesels have a turbo you dumb shit.

[legend5532]

pretty much the point is that he got a diesel snowmobile to go

[ORIANA250]

im sure it works great in minus 30 c temp, what do you do about diesel fuel gelling.

[becaron901]

Man that thing is balls slow, But cool project none the less. Are the gears and clutch stock from a gas sled or what?

[89Daytona89]

The gears were stock, the clutching was set up a little differntly but the clutching parts weren't custom made.

[wes96]

whats the point of a diesel sled? its gonna be all tork and no speed.

[89Daytona89]

Thats like asking whats the point in a diesel truck, they aren't all torque and no speed. The speed is only a factor of the sled being geared and clutched correctly for the desired top speed. The main advantage of diesel is superior fuel economy and exhaust emissions.

[footballplayer2345]

I agree.

[Garrettsi]

that's true

but when the clutch is engage, a Sled always between 5-9000 rpm

so a diesel sled is not usefull

[TBWdracula2003]

a diesel would be useful you just have to have it clutched to engage way lower

[snowmobilefanatic]

myself loving diesels and sleds must say its pretty mint but, will never work because a diesel has trque and a gas has hp and diesels are way to heavey and don't favoure the cold... so i dond't think a diesel will ever work very good in a sled also because they don't rev very high

[SnowTillDeath14]

Yeah thats a good point, in normal sled setup. If you had a direct drive snowmobile with like an old atv gearbox with gears it would be great, except for the whole fuel gelling thing. But the torque wouldnt really be useful I supose unless on a packed groomed trail...

[hondafourstroke]

if you geared it higher then it would be like having a high revving motor like a gasoline engine that is geared lower

[phishphandesire]

you said mint....sound like a iron ranger

[footballplayer2345]

yeah and you can just use a high gear ratio which will make it go fast and accelerate fast too.
