@@charliebardo6255 you could honestly probably do a standalone system with a servo that pulls the throttle. Ford did that all throughout the mid to late 90s
I came across this engine in a youtube video dropping it in an old CJ. Fell in love with this things possibilities at first sight. Granted its $9k... But it's a turn-key create --- a big bill.... but worth the time saved attempting to part something on your own!
Would love to have one in a 96 OBS f150 4x4 to run around in. That would be awesome. Imagine the fuel mileage! Especially after its tuned. Love the channel
My Colorado 2.8 Duramax is safely tuned to 230hp and 440tq to the wheels. Cummins are fantastic engines, but I'm glad I have what I have. 40k miles so far, zero problems. (Deleted as well)
Aaron Humphrey I don’t have one so I can’t vouch for that specific application, but I will say I deleted my 6.7 power stroke and it made a HUGE difference. Gained almost 200 hp and 300 ft lb torque, runs cooler, and best of all is the mpg. I went from 12-13 mpg average to 18-19 mpg average. And I drive like an asshole. So I could imagine someone could at least get 20-24 mpg if driving conservatively. Point being, it’s totally worth it. For my truck it was like $2000 to delete and tune it and put on an aftermarket air intake. And since I drive around 450-500 miles a week, it paid for itself in saved fuel costs very quickly.
Man, that would be a nice conversion for an early 50's Chevy pickup! It would run rings around the original 216 or 235 stovebolt gas burner, plus get fantastic mileage if you left it stock and maybe put a 6 speed O.D. trans. in it.😉👍👍
There is a classic truck dealer near me who has a bunch of ford F100s and F250s that would be great with this swap. I'd like one in an international scout.
Sweet looking engine! I remember having mixed feelings when I heard that this was being produced. On the one hand, it's about damn time we saw a small displacement (less than 4.0 litres) diesel engine. I hope to see more offered for the USA................
So if total electric pickups become less favorable and somewhat of a good deal in the future could the Cumming 2.8 be mated with a generator and used to convert the total electric trucks to hybrid? Keep some of the batteries and the electric drive if possible replace or add to the controller to start and stop the diesel generator when the batteries need charging.
These engines are awesome. They are also available in the Foton Tunland. Studding the top and bottom end would be really great for extra reliability. Was toying with the idea with compounds and adding a S300 or HX40 low pressure unit and keeping factory HE221W with 76mm exhaust. Also adding an air-to-water intercooler as a secondary intercooler. Here we have really high temperatures in summer. ECM software still needs finetuning. Or at least on mine. I have opened up one of these isf 2.8 engines. Ate #1 conrod bearing and broke piston #3 compression ring. Really simple to work on with really beefy connecting rods and crank.
In Australia it's probably cheaper to buy the Foton and strip it, that way you get all the cooling package and other accessories, harnesses needed for a proper build.
Wow I'm lovin' this. I'm thinking the R2.8L as a replacement for my 4.6L in my '03 Ford Crown Vic with an upgraded 6 or 8 speed auto transmission. That should be more than enough for everyday driving and driving in the intermountain west.

One thing I HATE about SEMA-type show interviews, is that no one EVER fully discloses the information on the ENGINES! Like 210-hp, 385-ft lbs torque, 475-lbs, etc. Still trying to dig up information relative to 'drop-in' friendliness (what 'computers' are required...what sensors, signals, etc. is it needing to actually RUN in a vehicle (like the AMC shown in the video)? I mean...I've got a 35-ft boat I've been really looking hard for a 200-300 hp diesel engine to drop in it...and this MIGHT be perfect for that application...but beyond the 'crate engine', what ELSE do I need to 'turn a key' to get it running? Seems to be common-rail, piezo injectors...but is this EEC? Any control boxes required come with the engine?
R2.8: 500 lbs. 161 hp, 310 lb-ft. Original 6BT in Dodge trucks: 1,100 lbs, 160 hp, 400 lb-ft I'd love to put one of these in my 91 Dakota that has the gutless 3.9(gas) in it. Would just seem right to put that Cummins badge on a Dodge truck.
thebluebumblebee Ever drove a ve pump 5.9 ? Those are horribly slow like barley able to keep up with traffic type of slow. Even as the years went on a 325hp 5.9 isnt fast. I would never buy one of these if you where looking to make any power. Thats never going to happen. Seems like a great engine that will last forever but I personally couldnt drive one.

@@ValentinArzola Speaking as a mech The R150F/151 is a very strong transmission from Toyota. It would quite happily support a 6BT if it needed too. Good gearing too.
Robert844 just because somebody put an engine into a chassis, doesn’t make it a good match. Secondly, it was most certainly NOT the first 2.8L off of the assembly line. The ISF/QSF engines have been in production for quite a few years prior to the crate engine offerings.
Robert844 really? You’re resorting to name calling? Nice. Is this the Scout you’re talking about? www.dieselworldmag.com/diesel-trucks/new-vintage-a-cummins-powered-scout-800/ Cummins provides the first crate engine kit. That does not mean it was the first 2.8L they manufactured. It was simply the first 2.8L they offered in a kit. The ISF/QSF has been around longer than the engine kit program. I’ve worked on dozens of them. Mostly in forklifts, but I’ve seen them in other applications as well. Also, Cummins did not install that engine as you are suggesting. The story clearly states the New Legend 4X4 installed the engine.
I have no where near the funds, but I would love to put one of these in my 88 Suzuki Samurai. Except it would probably break my entire drive-train because it makes 4x the amount of torque and nearly 3x the HP it made from factory.
Nice idea but its a little expensive, out on the West Coast of BC where I'm from that little engine would be a good candidate for marine use like sailboats or small cruisers where your doing a little over hull speed your after fuel economy.
What do you think cummins built it for? It has been sold as the 2.8isf for years in the marine industry. It's cummins answer to the VM 2.8 orginally in the jeep libby crd and now in the gm little pickups. It also started out as a marine engine. The VM has sleaves and main bearing carriers. Un-sure about those on the cummins.
I wonder if it would make a big difference if I swap out my 5.2L magnum (230Hp/300Ft-lb) with this 2.8 diesel engine in my 2001 Ram 1500. I'm sure MPG would skyrocket!
I have been looking at putting one of these in my 99 Dakota any suggestions I do light hauling with it . I would like to convert to a manual transmission too
Please do! I will one day do a cummins swap of my own. ill stick with my 07 2500 for now though. You have the ability to do it and to do it in a way that no one else probably would think of. I would help get the word out about this engine. Ive been looking at it for a year now wanting one!
A good replacement swap in a Perkins Diesel Ranger, or any small pickup that may or may not have had a Diesel option to begin with. Maybe you got a compact car, this thing should work great in it too, essentially doubling MPG in an already fuel sipping car. Maybe Toyota will wake up and smell the Diesel, for the next gen Prius hybrids.
Reminds me of the 4JB1-TC A non computer DI 2.8L with 4,200 rpm high idle for road use. Put in isuzu troopers every where but North America Sales started late 80s-ish
For sure, it would be like having a 350 small block.. but with better torque curve.. and get twice the fuel mileage.. with a 6sp automatic I bet you could get close to 30mpg on the highway maybe better
Imo be underpowered... the effort wouldnt be worth it.wouldnt tow much of anything. Remember there's no replacement for displacement Cheaper to 5.9 it.
How would one of these fare in a 1/2 ton pickup like an F150? I have a 10th Gen that I'm looking to repower with either a remanufactured 5.4 2V, but I'd also be interested in converting to diesel for the MPG's.
Man, I'd love to see some other manufacturers do this. Or maybe get a few of them together and get a law passed that if an engine meets a sufficiently high standard (say Euro5) it is accepted to the US as an on-road replacement or repower option. Isuzu has a number of solid diesel engines that are just begging for swaps, but since most never got certified for light duty, it's basically impossible to get them to pass emissions in anything smaller than a box truck.
I have a question if i have an eco diesel jeep and the motor goes out would you recommend replacement or go with the 2.8 cummins swap please let me know your thoughts qill help me greatly please let me know your thpughts
had been thinking about a VM jeep swap into my dakota i like this option much better then the VM2.8 and the 4bt looking for 200hp 400tq and good mileage. seems like a great fit
that 2.8 is in the gm colorado/canyon twins and it rips when tuned. my 19 zr2 is tuned to 205hp/405tq at the wheels and still can get 33 mpgs if im careful.
@Don Olypopper I'm sure it is, but I was wanting to put it in a truck that's not even worth $1500. And you're correct, I'm not a diesel head, only experience I have is my TDI VW.
Don im a diesel person and I think 10k for just a engine is too expensive I dunno maybe it's from being poor and working my best to afford what I have not everyone can justify 8-10k for a project when a ls is what 1,500 or less and the parts are cheaper to work on it
Is the CAD for the R2.8 available other than getting an OEM to approve me for the SEMA Garage? I purchased one of these and am having trouble finding the CAD for it (I need to make a custom bellhousing adapter to go to my Scout T-19 trans, and also a new megabracket to hold different accessories)
Dellacondan he probably lost his job after going on camera advocating for somebody to manipulate the power and emissions through calibration changes. Cummins takes that stuff very seriously and would not like having an employee tell somebody they should do it.
@0.00-0.35.....Goes to show you how focused I was...Didnt even notice the hot babes in the frame and was wondering what he meant by "Keep your eyes up here"??

Austin doing the same but different thing to my S-10 92. Manual and also 4x4. Going to be a great truck then.
will this work in a 1972 c10 short bed?
Easily......
Hmmm. Have you considered playing with the Duramax 2.8. They deliver huge output with a tune.
I have been looking at putting one of these in my 99 Dakota any suggestions I do light hauling with it . I would like to convert to a manual transmission too
Why manual?
Please do! I will one day do a cummins swap of my own. ill stick with my 07 2500 for now though.
You have the ability to do it and to do it in a way that no one else probably would think of.
I would help get the word out about this engine. Ive been looking at it for a year now wanting one!
A good replacement swap in a Perkins Diesel Ranger, or any small pickup that may or may not have had a Diesel option to begin with. Maybe you got a compact car, this thing should work great in it too, essentially doubling MPG in an already fuel sipping car. Maybe Toyota will wake up and smell the Diesel, for the next gen Prius hybrids.
Reminds me of the 4JB1-TC
A non computer DI 2.8L with 4,200 rpm high idle for road use.
Put in isuzu troopers every where but North America
Sales started late 80s-ish
Skookum as frig
Anybody know how this Cummins 2.8 compares to the chevy colorado 2.8 diesel. In terms of reliability etc.
would this be suitable for a 60's Chevy c10?
For sure, it would be like having a 350 small block.. but with better torque curve.. and get twice the fuel mileage.. with a 6sp automatic I bet you could get close to 30mpg on the highway maybe better
Imo be underpowered... the effort wouldnt be worth it.wouldnt tow much of anything. Remember there's no replacement for displacement
Cheaper to 5.9 it.
@@vmaxes its a 60s half ton, the frame couldnt tow anything to begin with
Now I can’t decide if I should put this or a 5.2 carbureted in my 99 ram 1500
2.8 Duramax from GM is 181hp and 369 lb/ft. I'm surprised the output from these isn't higher in stock trim.
One will make it to a million miles. One will be junked long before.
Durmax is crappy Cummins is taking over going into everything Even Chevy/GMC
How would one of these fare in a 1/2 ton pickup like an F150? I have a 10th Gen that I'm looking to repower with either a remanufactured 5.4 2V, but I'd also be interested in converting to diesel for the MPG's.
Would this be a viable swap from a 4.7L V8 Land Cruiser 100 series/ LX470?
check out dieseltoys.
Thanks for sharing this video 👏👏👏 truckers greetings from Portugal
Man, I'd love to see some other manufacturers do this. Or maybe get a few of them together and get a law passed that if an engine meets a sufficiently high standard (say Euro5) it is accepted to the US as an on-road replacement or repower option.
Isuzu has a number of solid diesel engines that are just begging for swaps, but since most never got certified for light duty, it's basically impossible to get them to pass emissions in anything smaller than a box truck.
I have a question if i have an eco diesel jeep and the motor goes out would you recommend replacement or go with the 2.8 cummins swap please let me know your thoughts qill help me greatly please let me know your thpughts
I wonder if that'll fit in a TDI Volkswagen.
2.8 should ... the 3.3 and 3.9 are to big
It should they put a 2.8 vr6 in them and a 3.2 vr6 as well in the r34 golfs.
@@skileg10mind you that there vr6 "v6" take up alot less space than these straight 6s tho
@@stenhouse8569 Err, The BT4, the 3.3 and the 2.8 are all Inline 4s man.
Much better off with what you've got
We would love to see a build with this engine. Something smaller. Do like a chevy s10 4x4 or something along those lines.
devoncoolman88 I got a 4bt sitting in front of my 1992 S-10 4x4. 5 speed manual. Looking to get a NV 4500 trans for it.
I wanna see one in a tracker...
I've got a 94 4x4. Hard top. Would be a good candidate
You just wanna see it do stoppies.
had been thinking about a VM jeep swap into my dakota i like this option much better then the VM2.8 and the 4bt looking for 200hp 400tq and good mileage. seems like a great fit
that 2.8 is in the gm colorado/canyon twins and it rips when tuned. my 19 zr2 is tuned to 205hp/405tq at the wheels and still can get 33 mpgs if im careful.
This will go nice in my 1977 IH Scout II, backed by an NV4500.
It looks cool on the show floor just as a harbor freight tools in the store. but what is the longevity?
I was so excited about these before they came out, but they are VERY expensive. I'll just have to be happy with a junkyard LS.
William Decoteau give it a couple years they always are initially.
Just buy a 6bt off some old farmer who knows jack about Diesel's
@Don Olypopper I'm sure it is, but I was wanting to put it in a truck that's not even worth $1500. And you're correct, I'm not a diesel head, only experience I have is my TDI VW.
@Don Olypopper Thanks!
Don im a diesel person and I think 10k for just a engine is too expensive I dunno maybe it's from being poor and working my best to afford what I have not everyone can justify 8-10k for a project when a ls is what 1,500 or less and the parts are cheaper to work on it
That AvE reference, i'm here for it.
Mercury sells a marinised version of this engine.
What's the difference. I know marine companies love the Detroit 6.5
Wow that’s one guy from Cummins
I like hearing !
You should put the big willys in the intro...
Biggest Willy at Sema?
I'm more of an equipment kinda guy, so I wonder what size wood chipper that would power, I tend to say it's a bit on the small size for a 12" chipper
By far the most expensive option VS any other common swap for my TJ. Realizing this was really depressing.
Is the CAD for the R2.8 available other than getting an OEM to approve me for the SEMA Garage? I purchased one of these and am having trouble finding the CAD for it (I need to make a custom bellhousing adapter to go to my Scout T-19 trans, and also a new megabracket to hold different accessories)
This would be cool in my 4X4 Chevy Astro van
That cummins guy loves his product.
Dellacondan he probably lost his job after going on camera advocating for somebody to manipulate the power and emissions through calibration changes. Cummins takes that stuff very seriously and would not like having an employee tell somebody they should do it.
Rail Fan Guess you didn’t hear him a mention that it was a pre-emissions vehicle.
Throw this in my Xterra, I live in Ohio so no worries on emissions🤟🏼
Lol love that. "We'll just ave it". That guy is awesome!
I wanna throw it in my 89 toyota pickup 4x4
Same. My 3VZE is putting on some serious miles. Any idea what's needed to make the swap?
The Hundredth Monkey sucks we never got the diesels they have in the Old Toyota hilux trucks in Europe, those are awesome motors
no, save your money and throw a 1.9 vw tdi in it
When I saw the title of the video my first thought was... I bet that would be great in my jeep. I guess I wasnt the only one.
I want one in my datsun 620,
BOLTR AvE reference! I loved it!!
@0.00-0.35.....Goes to show you how focused I was...Didnt even notice the hot babes in the frame and was wondering what he meant by "Keep your eyes up here"??
I would love to have one of these in my Tacoma.
Definitely cool engine. Prefer mechanical for myself though.

@@jumpinjojo sorry I'm just a dumb truck driver that happens to be a mechanic. Thanks for pointing out that i'm an idiot 🤦♂️.
Alan Lol! I'm here for you! Have a great day!
@@alanack67 lol priceless

I have a 93 5 speed ranger with a 2.3 gas in it and I would love one of these engines to drop in it
