Nice job…. I owned a Chevrolet truck that had a gas engine converted to diesel. It was actually pretty tough. We abused it on a daily basis since it was only a farm runner. Used 90 weight gear lube for engine oil. We would take it into town and run a hose into the throttle body. Then dump tranny fluid in and smoke out the town. Even sunk it in a creek once. Pumped it out, primed the engine and fired it back up. Lol It never laid down in the 10 years we had it. Ended up trading it for a Winchester model 70. Far as I know the guy still has it and drives it from time to time.

@@zefzone-215 because when you have a high horsepower engine they use a copper o-ring around the cylinder, when you torque the cylinder head the malleable copper squish between the block and the cylinder head, thus giving a good seal between those two parts

I would say this is one of their best experiments. I did not expect it to work this well, but they explained it from start to finish clearly showing all the steps and thought that went into it. I hope this ends up getting a follow up episode, seems like a ton of work went into it so I would hope it gets more tests done like putting it back on a car, with an exhaust and maybe a turbo!
chrysler/dodge/plymouth did this to an inline six engine long ago, converted it from diesel to gasoline. these guys were right in their thinking, and i have known it possible for some time, but this is the FIRST time i actually SEEN one converted to gasoline.
@The Mosh it wont come out fake. research the chrysler slant six, straight 6 diesel converted to gasoline, then the block remade to lean over 30 degrees, same solid valve lifters, which is why my slant six engines rattle like diesel engines. atleast according to my research back when i was trying to find out what a 225-3 was.
these guys are always doing the experiments and random designs that I could only dream of actually accomplishing, always wanted to convert a diesel to gas!. People always tell me im crazy but I guess this proves im not!
look into vw tdi. i hate vw and audi but guys convert the tdi to gas for the stronger block and throw boost at them. i want to take a 2 stroke and fill it with diesel for some fun times. i already have a 15:1 comp ratio 2t and it doesnt like anything under 94 octane.
its gonna need to go into into a small truck that was 4wd. converted to 2wd. then the top needs to be cut off to be made convertible. then that pesky auto swapped out for a manual. then the engine needs to be fitted with a turbo or supercharger. and driven to oblivion
"Whats the timing advance of a dug-up Toyota diesel converted to gasoline using Soviet car parts?" "Thats a bullsh*t question." "So you don't know?" "Nobody could answer that!"
Its not going to be a mile off the original Lada specs. Its using the same fuel, similar compression, the same carb settings - its just a larger engine so will do its thing at lower rpm. If its vacuum based advance that means it should match the carb and run close enough because its reference points are the same.
@@allinaday3526 Depend what turbo setup you have or you can have N/A engine too:) Also boost is mostly about torque power,you can see that in cars like Tuned Supra,boost but insane turbo lag too.. I rather choose less boost/torque but same HP with 2 smaller turbos instead if single one,this is how boost work.
@@shawngoldsberry747 the type of fuel used wont magically increase the power. In fact it will be lower. Diesel engines are built different. Longer stroke, optimized valvetrain for low revs, heavier internals etc. Diesel fuel will provide more power in this engine configuration. Gasoline works better with engines that are designed to operate at high RPM.
@@dieselgeezer18 Thats not been true for many years. A lot of modern diesels share architecture with their petrol counterparts and some even have a shorter stroke (BMW's spring to mind). The pressures and requirements in a modern turbo DI engine aren't all that different regardless of fuel.
Hello from Australia! I've been watching this channel since day 1 and have been waiting for you guys to give him a shot and host an experiment. He had a 107% success! Technically explained everything perfectly and hope to see more! Perhaps a co-host? Good work team! Get well Vlad.
This episode belongs in a completely different class than most of what I've seen here before, in my opinion. Yes, the amount of precision and planning that went into this conversion is of course impressive, but any mechanic will tell you what they did is theoretically possible, and many (myself included) might believe they could do it themselves. But as we all understand, KNOWING is different than DOING. The young man who took over for Vlad is very knowledgeable and technically creative. I have no doubt it started on the first try. Bravo to the whole team.
@@kaihlis I don't think this engine could be started without a flywheel. On this engine (and almost every car engines) the starter motor rotates the flywheel, which is bolted to the crankshaft. A small starter motor couldn't turn a four cylinder engine's crankshaft, maybe just 'til the first compression stroke. The starter motor has a small gear, while the flywheel is basically a larger gear. The gear ratio between the small and the larger gear makes the starter to be able to turn the crankshaft around, so the engine can start. It seems you know all these, although it's cringy that many viewers don't have any clue about it. This channel isn't for car enthusiasts, at least I think so, it's only for entertaining young guys with some technical bounds.
@@baladar1353 Yes i do know these things pretty well since i modify/repair cars on daily basis. And it is allmost sad indeed that so many ppl doesnt know basics of how cars operate.
Very nice project! This is the kind of projects I really appreciate. It is quite logic that the distributor fuel pump had the same gear as the camshaft as it has to run half the speed of the crankshaft. Cheers from Belgium!
Vlad get well soon!! You sure have the best mechanics in the shop!! I never thought the engine would work. So now there is a new future for the diesel engines. Keep up this amazing work and video's. Compliments to the translators
This was a common practice in Argentina. The Ford Falcon had a 3.0lts 6 cilynder engine, that was so robust, that you can turn that gasoline engine into a diesel one, you had to modify the intake to fit a diesel bomb, brush down the head of the engine to get the compression up, and change the spark plugs for pre heating ones, and then you are done, it's was really simple. My grandpa had one that he modified himself, and told me the entire process, but I recall this much from that, he said it was easy, and a common practice too.
Incredible video as always! Hope and pray Vlad feels well soon! I can't remember which American car company it was, but they made a 5.0L engine that could be made as diesel or gasoline, depending on what parts they used at the factory. Though from what I hear, it wasn't good at either job, and got discontinued after a few years.
@GGALLIN1776 "Convert" is loose, they just designed it to be machinable on the same rigs. The blocks are MUCH heavier, but unfortunately they also have a gas head bolt pattern and size, which made the penny-pincher's decision to omit the water separator an eventually lethal decision.
As usual a very entertaining video, absolutely love Garage 54 channel , and wish Vlad a very speedy recovery from his illness and hope to see him soon , from Northern Ireland UK 😎👍
before everyone gets dissapointed when they fit the engine back in a car: diesel engines are a low rpm sort. maybe a 3k rev limit. the gas engines run 5 or 6k. but yes, I want to see the output numbers too.
I worked on a job where we converted an EMD 12-645 (V12, 645 cubic inch per cylinder) to run on natural gas instead of Diesel for a locomotive. Problems I was hired to solve were interfacing original control relays to solid state electronic controls and the freezing of the gas pressure regulators.
I wanna see how much horsepower this makes Also i love how the translator changes his pitch for each person, if I did it I would have maybe said something like person 2 or some dumb stuff like that I applaud you translator
Fantastic video guys! I can’t believe how well that engine ran after conversion! I wish Vlad a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him AND you back in videos soon!!
I hope Vlad didn't get that thing that's going around! :( That said: I don't believe it was staged, the look on his face gives it away! What a great video
In the old days they had an ignition system and dual fuel rails to start some of the bigger diesels, it would fire on the gasoline until it built compression, then the operator would close the compression lever, cutting off the gasoline and ignition, and then shunting in diesel. Guess it worked for awhile but they dont do it anymore i dont believe .
Might work but it will be very inefficient. Diesels have long stroke, while most gasoline engines don't. Thats why they make more torque and can achieve higher compression.
Nice work , now you have it working and just need an old lada to install it into . Wish Vlad a good recovery and looking forward to next level of this experiment .

Cool project. I do hope that Vlad feeling better and is back in front of the camera soon. Now you have to build a car to put this engine in. Then you have to drive down the road.
I bet at a higher compression ratio, you would be able extract much higher power from the engine. This idea is worth an entire mini series to explore the possibilities. I think you've stumbled onto a really good idea and I think its worth exploring. Good luck on however you guys want to proceed. Congrats!
Damn!!! Thats great!!! I bet with compression like that and the super strong parts made for the diesel I bet you could make a performance engine out of that, that would be beast mode!!!

Japanese car guys: “i like to go fast sideways real fast”
Australian car guys: “i do bigger burnout than you in my sleep”
Russian car guys: “ in soviet russia car builds you”
You could have used a decompression plate. It's very common in racing applications. 🏁
I would call this a low compression success 😆 well done my boys.
I have to say, this is one of the best car channels out there, I always throughly enjoy watching your videos.

rest in lada Vlad 😔
Feel better Vlad! Good job to all! Very good episode!!!
Good russian engeneering!
:-)
Greetings from germany
Thank you for making this sort of videos! I very enjoy it while working!!
Fit the engine on a car so that we can see how it performs
Get better Vlad. Congratulations everyone. This is one to be remembered.
LOL , hell yes !
LOL
Cool project. I do hope that Vlad feeling better and is back in front of the camera soon.
Now you have to build a car to put this engine in. Then you have to drive down the road.
You guys have done some crazy shit over the years, but this is legit the single most amazing thing you've done.
"the compression on number four is.......blin" 🤣
Here you are again giving. Content I didn’t know I needed! Favorite channel right here 🤘🏼
Brilliant work guys. I hope Vlad gets well soon.
This is the best video yet. Genuinely amazing work.
Another great video! Hope Vlad gets well soon! All the best for you guys.
Great job, young man. Love to see you do this more. Give best wishes to Vlad.
Definitely by far my favorite Automotive Channel. Vlad all the good energy and Karma to you and yours. Get well soon dammit.
Did a great job taking over . We wish Vlad a speedy recovery just the same
Feel better soon Vald, great video as always Sir. We hope everything is well and you will be back on the show soon.
This is the best video you guys have ever made. Thank you.
I bet at a higher compression ratio, you would be able extract much higher power from the engine. This idea is worth an entire mini series to explore the possibilities. I think you've stumbled onto a really good idea and I think its worth exploring. Good luck on however you guys want to proceed. Congrats!
Damn!!! Thats great!!! I bet with compression like that and the super strong parts made for the diesel I bet you could make a performance engine out of that, that would be beast mode!!!
Running that engine without any eardrum protection, only in Russia 🤣🤣. Congrats on the succes of this project guys, i hope Vlad makes a speedy recovery 👍🏻 .
I expected it to work, but I didn't expect it to roar like that. Nice work.
Awesome ! great fuel conversion and first start and working.
