Hi Stuart,

How thick is the bell house plate, and most important, the width of plate, e.g. the distance between the adaptor plates.

Could be a similar turbo: http://www.amazon.com/Turbocharger-Engi ... B00INYIPSO

thanx for info.
I wonder if the gel type are as sensitive to vibrations as the "solid cell" type lead batteries

Thanx Stuart,

Was fun to have the smalltalk at Hamm,

Happy Newyear as well here from Denmark,

The guy from Latvia with the BMW K100 + Smart CDI build has an interesting blog at:

http://www.motomanai.lt/moto-forumas/mo ... .9682.html

especially the pictures show the effort to do the conversion,

It was shorten in a rather simple way using a Dremel rotary tool and a lot of patience :oops: An old piece of a clutch to hold the shaft while making a M12 thread for the clutch nut ! If I should do the Yanmar Enfield conversion today, I would buy the shaft version from Jochen Sommer that is extende...

I have been using this solution for quite some time, it turns out to be working ok:

Needed to use the longer gearbox main shaft to place the engine more to the left to get a better balance in the frame.

Hi, Ive made a short description/consideration on Yanmar, longer mainshaft build: https://www.dieselbikeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1957 2012 the Yanmar was replaced with a 15 HP two cylinder direct injection Ruggerini/Lombardini air cooled engine: https://www.dieselbikeforum.com/viewtopic.ph...

Hello Marius,

Welcome to the forum, here are a lot of ideas for diesel conversions.

I have converted an Enfield Bullet using the MD151 engine, perhaps you have seen it already, but it is described shortly here:

https://www.dieselbikeforum.com/view ... =31&t=2599

It looks quite the way Henry Price is doing diesel conversions, at least in terms of the frame modification and the exhaust pipe.

Nice project.

I seems like the Microlon additive is to do extra lubrication for the pump and injector , see:

Hi albert, Your 5th gearing is close to the 4th ( and last ) in my Enfield gearbox, topping at 112 kmh with 3600 rpm. After removing the forced air cooling and released 2.2 kg from the flywheel, the engine pulls faster to topspeed at comparable condition, so I will go for a 22 teeth gearbox sprocket...

Hi,

Thank for the videos, the MD151 runs well in my Enfield-Ruggerini build as well.

How much is the engine RPM at 100 kmh ?

Mine does 32 kmh per 1000 rpm, but I will add a higher gearing to lower the rpm and to achieve a bit higher top speed (@ 3600 rpm)

regards, Erik

Interesting builds ( small correction on link: http://www.evalbum.com/4780 ), and at first look, it seems easier to realize an electric conversion compared to the alignment of diesel engine, gearbox/converter . And a lot of oil is saved in the transmission line, only final chain or shaft driven need...

But only 2WD available sofar

Hi,

Looking nice. After seeing the pictures at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... df53953a60 I can imagine the great effort to realize your project.

I am even more impressed by the Ruggerini MD151 performance after replacing the standard industrial air filter with a KN SU airfilter and after cutting off the flywheel fan part. Top speed of 112 kmh is reached faster and the acceleration is quite improved ( flywheel lost 2 kg :) So ideally the engi...

Congratulation, looks good. Here in Denmark ( 55 latitude North ) we have low temperatures most of the year, so I cut off the cooling fan part of the MD151 flywheel. Vibrations are on the same level as before, but engine revs must easier, flywheel loosed 2.2 kg of weight :lol: Did the oil pump solut...

Nice to see the compostion running

The primary sprocket on my Ruggerini MD151 is machined to fit the 1:5 conus on the engine, it has been running fixed in position for 700 km so far.

A small description is at: https://www.dieselbikeforum.com/view ... =31&t=2599

Hi, A few updates on the build: A KN SU airfilter is replacing the industrial filter, using a piece a steel plate "interface" the inlet to the SU filter: Luftfilter_på_plads1.jpg Slimlined the Ruggerini flywheel - got the weight down from 7.1 kg to approx. 5.1 kg.: Svinghjul_4.jpg Last maj...

At this page there is a complete rebuilt of a Kawa GPZ 1000RX:

It seems like the original gearbox is not that hard to chop off and close the hole between crankcase and gearwheels :

Found this build description using a Kawa GPZ 1000 RX frame, which seems to have quite some space available in the open frame ( no downtube ):

Dieselfighter "Volksaki GPZ 1600 TD Mk I"

Yes the Ruggerini provides only 2 phase generator output, like many small diesel engines with the alternator built into the flywheel.

I just used an original Yanmar L100 15 Amps rectifier to fit the Ruggerini 2 phase generator output.

Technical explanations as well here:

thanx for the update, looks promising.

Looking forward to see it running

Hi,

With those Arduino shields-upon-shields there are a lot possibilities, but I do not have space enough for all that stuff in the headlamp, in which all electric assembly goes

Hi,

Looks good, nice work with lining in engine and transmission

Yet another thinking out of the box solution

Nice build,
looking to see more of the process going on, and the final result
