Cummins Repower 2.8 turbo diesel

Crate turnkey. If they make one for todays emissions, I would swap.

 

would you, if so call and get a quote then. Because you say you would swap I'm sure you have an idea of the money involved.

I gotta feeling you wouldn't truly swap just wanna talk about the idea of how cool it would be.. I'm done busting balls now.

 

I've been eying this for my 81 hilux after I'm done with the build ... I was gonna squeeze some miles out of the motor though ... it's an old farm truck with 99k mi. so I may never get to swap lol

 

look into TDI's for affordability on the swap. Hey, I have 4 of the ALH's wanna buy one. lol

 

It'll be a while .. I'm still going through what I've got.

 

HPA in BC used to make a mount kit to put TDI motors in late model Jeeps. they did quite a few of them. i wonder if this could become a thing for the Tacomas if it's not a messy swap?

 

Just buy 25+ year old Hilux imported from Japan with the 2.4 Diesel like I did and save yourself the headache of a swap.

 

I would've thought it would have kicked out more than 267 lbs ft of torque. But at least it's available at 1500 rpm.

 

I'm not scared of the swap I've swapped motors before and done full frame swaps on new jeeps at work . That motor swap kit is as easy as it gets..I love what I have 81 sr5 4x4 short bed converted to flat bed .

 

Did you buy it from an importer? My dad has been wanting one or a surf. I haven't looked much into it for him. How much does one of those go for?

 

Why would you swap this? So many motors out there better and cheaper and don't have to worry about emissions.

 

Is that right hand drive also?

 

Great for a pre emissions swap.

 

Yeah .. spankin it right now

 

Yes. It also has 74 hp and 114 lbs of torque, but it keeps me happy .

 

That's what counts.

 

Why? Expensive, under powered, expensive to maintain, expensive fuel

There are better options out there

 

Definitely a bump in power but more importantly torque I've a 22r in the old yota but as much as I love to dream a rebuild with a dual transfer case is the way to go.

 

Yes I bought it from an importer. Try Land Cruisers Direct. A Hilux will pop up in their inventory every now and then.

 

My lawn mower has more power than a 22r. My point is if why choose this mediocre motor if there are better options?
