Building a turbo diesel snowmobile. Follow for more updates on the project!

Winter is starting to come together here on the east coast but unfortunately the diesel sled needs new injectors 😞
The injector solenoid coils are getting too hot and melting into the injector body...what a mess (and $$$)
Once I find the root cause and get some new injectors built will be posting more videos and content, fine tuning the sled engine and clutch tuning. Stay tuned!
Panels on, idling smooth.
Let the fun begin. Make sure the sound is on...
Walk around while idling. Was having so much fun forgot the skis weren’t bolted on...
Maiden voyage! Need snow!!!
I know it’s been a long time. Here’s a quick video of it running for the first time! More tuning needed then time to take it to the snow!

Long time since our last post! Lots going on but progress is being made. Most systems have been laid out and at least temporarily mounted to make sure everything fits well and is routed properly for long term reliability. Things left to finish: ECM wiring (30% complete), fuel filter placement, and clutch tuning. Also the motor mounts need some grinding as they interfere with the flywheel under load...not good! More to come, thanks for the patience. I will work on better photos and obviously videos here shortly. They just might be grass drags...
I know it’s been way too long since our last update. We moved across the country and have been in stealth mode working on the diesel sled. We will be finishing it up over the coming months, thanks for your patience! Look forward to sharing some videos and getting this thing out on the snow!
