PWW SPECIAL - Toyota FJ40 with Cummins 2.8L Turbo Diesel Swap (Blasphemy?)

  • PROJECT WRONGWAY SPECIAL EPISODE:
    Check out Branden's 2.8 Cummins Turbo Diesel Swapped FJ40. Many would say his cruiser was perfect in its stock form, but Brandon had a dream. With the help of Level 10 Industries, they created something special. In this episode we discuss the engine swap, and other details about this epic cruiser. Purists can hate all they want, this cruiser is amazing.
    Check out Brandon's instagram @Sarpniz
    Look at www.level10industries.com for your future build
    Special thanks to my brother Aaron. He helped me get the show off the ground, created the intro, music and logo I use for this show. I’m lucky to have him as a brother. Check out his instagram @aarondraper.
    This show is an attempt at humor. Im not a professional, and it should be clear within the first few minutes of every episode. I’m trying to give it “the old college try”. Learn with me, most importantly, learn what not to do. Im building the Landcruiser to be my driver, and overlander. I have a 2012 Honda Accord I drive every day, and its a soulless journey each time.

    Men only use BIG trucks to compensate, If you own a 40 Series there is no need to compensate for any thing! Good to see the greatest Rugby team supported too.

      Me too, its a shame I had to observe this engine in real life. Because the want, is very strong.

      Project Wrong Way I really think I’m doing the swap. I’m working with Donavan at10line. It is super costly
      Donavan said Branden did a lot of his own work. Can we find out what he did him self and what he had them do. Trying to put it within my budget
      Also now have a f2 Motor
      , transmission and transfer case for sale. They we’re running great when I drove it home. Know anyone who would like to purchase

    • @projectwrongway9127
      @projectwrongway9127  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not off the top of my head, but I know the engine trans and case would sell. It’s a good combo, and worth it to a buyer. I’m not sure what Branden did on his own, but I know the price of the 2.8 has gone down some. At least it seems like the price of the kit has gone down.

      A Jordan thanks for watching man. More guests will happen, already planning another special. But there’ll be some regular old project Wrong Way in between. I had worked the night before shooting this, so it was almost 24 hours without sleep. Made it tough! I do like the way this turned out, so I’ll be keeping ideas for this in the future.

    Liked and subscribed. Screw the purists. Its all well and good to build something incredibly beautiful and period perfect and then put it in a dust proof museum, but my Cruisers are patched together with whatever works and my family and I get out and enjoy the bush in them when we can. Build what works for you mate. Love the rugby top. Go the Wallabys!!!

      @projectwrongway9127  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Danny Conelly happy to see you liked it man. Purists have a place, both on and off the road. And in a museum... but Branden built this cruiser to drive it. A lot. And it’ll do just that, it’s got new life, and that power plant should go for a long time.

    • @SARpinz
      @SARpinz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Max Hill it’s a great little engine. With lots of tuning and potential, you can keep it stock or go crazy with power. I’d shy more towards the stock tune, but it’s awesome to think how much more you can get out of these engines.

    It’s actually pretty funny to watch this video because I’ve actually been getting a lot of negative feedback about putting the same engine in my FJ 40 I’ve got a 1968 then I’m going to fully restore it I just bought it last week and I really appreciate this video because it just confirms what my gut was already telling me about this engine so thanks for putting it out there. There are a couple other things though that would be pretty helpful and that would be a detailed list of some of the places that you may have purchase some of the upgrades that you’ve done on your vehicle although my vehicle is complete there are a few things that I would like to upgrade.

    those MPG numbers came right from cummins themselves, people would just bolt on the weber carb and drive ( it was jetted for higher cubic inch engines ) you had to purchase the optional jet kit and test the various jets to find the correct jet . some person i cannot remember reported getting just shy of 30 MPG but that was with a light foot , not sure about the A/C though , now a better turbo diesel engine swap is the 82 to 87 mercedes OM617 inline 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine , a business makes adapters to bolt to all of the toyota and jeep transmissions , that engine with a slightly modified injection rack are recording almost 40 MPG at 9 psi turbo ( this engine is a 5,500 rpm max street diesel engine )this engine is all mechanical , no electronics to fail , the OM617 non-turbo engines are getting just shy of 50 MPG , but are slow to accelerate up to highway speeds , but i will be clear ( the MPG numbers are WITH injection pump modifications and ARE NOT stock )

    • @projectwrongway9127

    • @projectwrongway9127
      @projectwrongway9127  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cummins did put on their site some info on a Jeep swap, mileage was 30.8 hwy and 25.8 city, and they compared it to the stock TJ 4.0. I imagine they will be coming up with some better mileage numbers as tunes and modifications become more popular.
      Also, I know for some, mpgs wasn’t the main concern or reason for the Cummins swap. But those that have the engine will speak for themselves. As for me, I’ll be running the Toyota 2F with some added efi down the road.

      Ben is right, it's just a steering wheel cover on my stock '78 wheel. I have one in the Pinzgauer as well, makes it just a little thicker and more comfortable on long drives. I'm actually going to go down to a 16" wood wheel and CNC the stock logo into it so it keeps that vintage look but is a better size with the power steering mod. Also, I think the wood will look good with the brown leather.
