Yeah the lack of the VP44 is pretty cool... check out cumminsforum.com you will get a TON of good info there... like 2 stroke oil in the gas to save the life of the VP44, espically with ULSD on the street...

Aint nothin like a Cummins...

 

I have yet to really truely figure out the mileage on a good highway drive with mine and I do not have everything perfected yet on it. Still need to get the new air filter in it and put some new better oil in. Best I got so far with the wrong gears and old air, oil, and fuel filter was 29mpg. That was keeping it just under 60mph. Now I have 4.10 gears in it so the revs were dropped a bit but still will not have the larger tires for a while due to money and my old ones have lots of tread left on them so the revs are not as low as I want yet. But she goes really well. My dad can't touch me with his pretty much still new 3.0V6 5 speed 31'' tires and 4.56 gears. Its been taken care of its whole life really well and still is not over 100000 miles yet. And that is not with it in ECT power mode or with it to the floor yet. I should be doing better mileage wise once the revs are right and I have the proper oil and a good nice clean not black air filter in it. Once I intercool it she should really perform. I have been focusing more on getting the important things like 4wd working and skidplates built and on in the last while but tomorrow I should have the air filter box modded and have a filter in there. Maybe even some nice new oil.

 

my buddy bought an old frito lay chip truck and pulled the cummins 4 cylinder, bolted it up to a GM tranny, he even found a kit on the internet to help with the mounts and junk..
ill get the details on it when i see him.

what motor is that in the YouTube video?

 

IMO the Cummins 4BT is way too overkill... Way too tall block, and all bottom end... no mid or top... You need too crazy a BL just to get the thing in... Even 80's... Fj80's have a hard time getting one in.

If you want a 0-60 in 30+ seconds, gopher it!

overkill...

Diesels blow black smoke, it's what they do. It's unburnt fuel coming out of the exhaust. If they don't blow black smoke at least every once in a while, then there is a problem hahahahahaha.

 

the ome617 swap is awsome still working on a few bugs in the swaps ....
that red 4runner is having some overheating problems....
but power wise its a great motor,
any guys willing to sacrifice a little bed space could pull it off.

 

4bt would be the way to go, you get the cummins reliabilty and the ease of modification, you can practically put all of the 6bt parts on to it, make sure you go for a mechanical injection pump, ive have alot of issuues with the VP44 found on the 98.5 and up 24v. and with the right tuning you can get up to a DD 300 hp

 

along with being a yota guy, im also a huge diesel head and work for cummins. so the thought has crossed my mind and actualy looked into it. you can do it but its going to be pain. electric fans, rad in the bed, both batteries in the bed, electic water pump, oil filter by pass, alt on the driveshaft, possabably a custom header (so the turbo fits), ext...

if you want to do all that your still looking to put a 1000-1200lbs engine in a yota (not including the heavy tranny and t case). it will be extermely nose heavy and have a poor center of gravity.

jmo. if you want a cummins, get a 4bt and get it as close to the firewall as you can.

 

i know of a guy that put the 4cyl cummins diesel in his toyota runner it was great for the trails and pulled hard, they also can be found in asphault packers,small delivery trucks,another great thing is that they have mechanical injection pumps which csn be tweacked up ,put a big ass turbo and some stock 5.9 injectors let rock you can also get a bell housing for a stock toyota tranny

You are correct. Black smoke on a diesel means you are delivering too much fuel. The resulting black smoke is unburned fuel. A properly tuned diesel should not smoke like a freight train, although older mechanical diesel engines all smoke to a small degree.

And yes, more turbo (which means more air for combustion), will help a lot in clearing up that black smoke

 

i know that a cummins will fit in a ranger with six in extension look on you tube /cummins ranger nasty little ride

 

oh yeah, just about anything can be done with enough time and money. My buddy is building a race truck - a ranger with a 6 bt.

 

all agree here, back when i added to this thread i didn't understand nearly as much as i do now, but indirect injection diesels are just inefficient as far how fuel is delivered, therefore it is difficult to get an exact fuel to air ratio and black smoke will almost always be a result under heavy acceleration/and or tuning. Yes, a turbo will greatly help this issue.

on a side note, i can't believe this thread is still going, man i miss this community. PEACE all

 

Aside from fitting it, you can build it however you want... Good bottom/mid/top end is pretty easy with modern diesel technology.

 

wow, been a while since i have seen on of those. a qsk60 is a little guy. they are mainly used for gen sets. look at EMD's and GE's.

you can pick up a qsk60 piston and rod assembaly. the EMD's and GE's you have to use a chain fall.

 

you ever been to a tractor pull, sure seems like more smoke equals more power, those thinks smoke like crazy!!! I wonder what the rules are in california for a swap like the 4bt

 

Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD! And just because you have the power doesn't mean you have the means to tow. Just look what happened to my dad last summer pulling too heavy of a load with too light of a truck. Sure we had the power, but not a heavy enough truck to keep the load under control. That trailer was EMPTY! Imagine towing a whole 'nother vehicle with a puny little mini truck. Sure, you'll have the torque, but your frame is built for towing, you may have the axles, but your truck isn't going to weigh 8-9k lbs like a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup that's actually built for towing. My dad was going 30mph!! Imagine trying to tow something at 55-75mph! And don't forget the most important thing, BRAKES! There's no way your going to have the braking power to stop your load, because your trucks going to be too light to stop your trailer, which is what happened here...
