It was only a matter of time before the diesel got a stack 😂

[pokedude]

A straight piped diesel stack on a saturn coupe is not something I thought I'd ever see in my lifetime, but I'm glad I have now.

The most surprising part of this is that you have the heater connected!

[thomaswykes]

An old farmer taught me to add 2 stroke oil to the diesel at about 100:1

It has a nice effect - running quieter and cleaner. Generally sweeter. Farmers don't usually invest money in anything unless it ultimately saves money! It would be interesting to see if you can achieve any mpg gains

[redgopnik]

These Saturn experiments have easily been one of my favorite series on YouTube in a hot minute... sad to see it go but looking forward to the Renault !

[YurtFerguson]

It's insane how much power those predator b twin engines can make. The performance kits that they make for garden pulling tractors can crank them up well into the 50 HP range before even getting into forced induction.

[Motosapien]

Now all you need for the final send off of the Saturn is to have it featured on Doug DeMuro's channel.

[RadioReprised]

What a Warhorse! No Saturn has ever been as interesting as this one!

[RubenKelevra]

Love how you were afraid the cops see the leave blower stuck in the front of the car, but are perfectly fine with the exhaust pipe smoking out of a hacksaw made hole in the hood :D

[michaelfiber]

Congratulations on making this the most interesting Saturn that ever existed.

[Sevalecan]

80mpg is impressive. I know you don't really care about the MPG tests, but making a hybrid diesel would be pretty interesting.

[tihzho]

The hood scoop needs to have a higher profile to be fully in the airflow over the hood. 😉

[dheisey]

RIP the Saturn. It gave more pleasure than any other Saturn I know of.

[jetjazz]

That Renault is GORGEOUS, this series is gonna be extra special. Making cool projects garners views... doing it in style even more so. Heck I bet it'll be better than the original car as far as top speed goes!

[ifrit]

I like the puff of smoke it produces with each gear change. It looks more like a mad max car with each new modification.

[Thecarguy]

Rip little old Saturn, the crew cab Saturn will have to take your glory from here. I’ve loved this series and very much looking forward to the v-twin big block Renault!

[WARDKUSTOMZ]

Easiest way to put a bigger pipe is the oval it a bit. Then mark the od on the flange.

[Thelonedad]

Im a truck mekanik, in my old work place, one of my old mates told me that in sweden, ole truckers used to mix gas and diesel to get more hores power, on old truck engiens/mecanical indjektion pumps. 80%diesel 20% gas mix.

[Dymitr_Nawrocki]

As much i loved Saturn series, since i first saw Renault i couldnt wait to see some episode focused on it, i am grateful to Saturn for being test subject but i am also happy it will be replaced by renault soon, can't wait for next episode.

[octane]

Aw man. Rest in peace saturn, you were a good testbed and lived a long life.
