    Jimbo, good news! The gas tank will handle diesel just fine. I get 2-3 cars a year with that problem. We drain the tank by running the electric gas pump in the tank then refill with gas, fuel system doesn't care. You can modify the stock sender into a fuel pickup pretty easily by gutting the pump and pressing a dip tube in it's place. Adding 16 gallons of diesel fuel will double or triple the value of that Saturn!

    It is interesting to see the difference in mindset between m/g and l/100km, the former is about knowing if you can do it to the next (very far) gas station while the latter is about knowing how painful your next visit to it will be.

    That weight is about the right territory for a Saturn. If I remember correctly the sedan was the lightest configuration for the S-series for some reason. My old SC2 coupe came in at just under 2400 lbs and it had a bunch of stuff in the trunk and on the seats when I weighed it, so I'm thinking mid-2200's is about right. Other than for acceleration events and hills the weight won't make much difference in mileage I don't think. The thing that makes these such fuel sippers is the aero. They're bottom feeders (closed off front end) and they have a low front cross-section and a low drag coefficient, so very slippery. That said, if you do weight reduction, don't take any of the plastic parts off under the front end and around the wheel wells. I took a hit on my gas mileage when I did that. It screwed up the aero quite a bit apparently. Also, don't remove the rear spoiler. That reduced my mpg as well.

    Just FYI, the Harbor Freight variable speed portable band saw (item 64194) is awesome for doing things like cutting off the axle bracket, cutting angle iron, etc. It's easier to control than a grinder, quieter, doesn't fling burnt metal dust everywhere, doesn't create a heat affected zone in the metal, and it can use 44 7/8 inch porta-band blades for Morse, Lenox, and other brands in addition to HF blades. Cost is $129.99 when not on sale. The only saw that cuts metal better is the 4x6 horizontal bandsaw that everyone buys.

    The engine bay with the diesel engine in it is somewhat reminiscent of cars from the seventies and earlier - at least in Australia. There is plenty of room to work on the engine! No myriad of vacuum lines, inefficient anti-pollution and no conveniences that are common place now. Make no mistake, I love modern vehicles and all the stuff in them. The down side is the modern vehicle is a DIY'ers nightmare. Having said that, I have had to upskill myself for the better re diagnostics on the control systems which I do enjoy. It is the mechanical bits that are more challenging with more components now. I am thankful I can pay a mechanic as opposed to my younger day when money was sparse.

    The Honda Insight actually win a race if the parameters were set correctly. I have seen a few other youtubers drop harbor freight engines into small cars, the most notable being one where the engine's output shaft was either welded or brazed to the input shaft of the car's transmission. I also remember a few guys who had swapped Predator engines into minitrucks, or minitruck frames using a centrifugal clutch and a chain/sprocket set connecting the clutch to the manual transmission. These vehicles were usually geared down for off-roading. I'd wager that if there was a race between predator powered stock bodied production cars and trucks, your Insight has a good chance of coming out on top.

Better to keep the little Kubota in its powerband. You should be able to adjust injector pump timing and fuel flow on there hopefully, because diesels seem to react quite well to minor timing advances and a hair more fuel flow!

    You should try rigging it up to run on Waste Motor Oil. That'll let you run it for almost no money.
    Just need to run the black stuff through a filter, a centrifuge, then another filter, and you should be set. Just remember to use two fuel tanks, and to start and stop the engine on Diesel when you're done with it.
    Soon, you'll have a daily driver that has almost nothing for fuel costs, which matters in this day and age of expensive fuel.

    Hey! Nice turbo! Can't wait to see it cranking out some baby boost!
    Fun fact, that turbo was used in a 1.9tdi with a mechanical fuel pump that I had swapped into a VW Vanagon!
    Unfortunately the owner never got around to changing the transmission to the correct final drive ratio to really make it all work together and the whole project was parted out after he blew out the original turbo. This turbo hasn't seen much use or any if I'm correct and should be good to go!

    You can absolutely use the stock fuel pump to transfer fuel at a low pressure. If you look at volume vs pressure ratings of fuel pumps you'll see they move a lot of volume at lower pressure. You can put it on a switch to fill that red tank or just have a pressure relief and return line before the high pressure pump on the engine.

    When I swapped the 6.5 in my 99 suburban I had to modify the tank and the tank unit for diesel. I couldn't justify $250 just for a diesel specific fuel tank. To advance the timing on the kubota engines you remove the Injection pump and remove the shims.

    The turbo will be too big, you're lucky to get 10 lb out of it. We run these motors in pulling tractors. The 772 is capable of 35 lb of boost. You will most likely have to change the governor spring to get enough RPMs out of it

    In it's original state, just a bit over 1 ton, it's really light by modern standards. I believe that if you'd installed a modern diesel with modern ECU, that car could've got about 90-100 mpg US.

    There are some D1505 engines with a turbo, now those turbos are no bigger than your fist, so the turbo you showed is definitively too big. But I do have to say i'm curious how that will workout. Also since you are now running a diesel you won't be able to use vacuum lines to the brake booster, diesel cars often have a vacuum pump to sort that out, that will be an issue

As an aside I once had an Acura CL 4.3 litre (Canadian eh?) six speed manual (front wheel drive with only 256 or so HP, I forget), and trying to keep the tires on the pavement was a real challenge, LOL you don't want a 5.3 V8 in this baby.
