What kind of mileage you get in it and any pics.

Sub, should be sweet

 

What the heck do you do for a living? Lol

 

Very impressive project. You either have a big set of nads or a mechanical engineering degree. Really have my interest as I love to see guys with the confidence to undertake a swap like this with all of the challenges it poses.

My hat is off to you and thanks for sharing with us.

 

Technically if you have a true mechanical engineering degree....there's a high likely you don't even know how to change a tire.

So im going with big set of nads...

 

Make that HUGE!

 

I was getting 22 in the city and up around 25 on the highway with the wind pushing. I got up to 28-29 once, only because I was coasting down the Rockies.

I have a build thread on 4btswaps http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?15122-2002-Toyota-Tacoma-4BTA-swap-(yoings)

 

That definitely was the case in 2005, when I came back from Iraq in Nov 2005. I couldn't sit idle so I swapped a Chevy 4.3 into my 85 Toyota and kind of expanded from there.

 

I am a E7 in the Army, surprising I am not a mechanic or an engineer. My specialty is Electronic Warfare. I use the electromagnetic spectrum to attack the enemy, basically jam communications and radio controlled IEDs. We use a lot of creative and out of the box thinking, I guess that's why I like modifying just about everything I own.

I have a hobby/micro business where I design/program and manufacture microcontrollers for Variable Geometry turbochargers. I am starting to work on a pulse signal converter for engine swaps. This way the engine and VSS pulses can be converted to the dash board. This build isn't going to be an overnight build. As I slowly work on some aspects ill post pictures. I am still building the engine and I plan on having it run on my floor before I pull my motor out. Hopefully in the next few months ill have a steel bumper. What's going to make this different is I'm going to build a cross member and plate the front of the frame before hand. If anyone want wants to swap a Cummins in a Toyota, you really need to plate the frame or you have a very high chance of twisting or cracking the frame.

 

Well thank you for your service first, secondly dang lol! That's impressive.

 

Good lord. Seems like a heluva job. Massive respect. Sub'd as I love diesels... Dream of being able to swap a 3l hilux diesel one day.

 

I am curies as to see how this turns out . Keep us posted OP And thank you for your service .

 

Well, got some help from my Navy buddy who owns Fouled Anchor Fabrication in Jacksonville Fl. He welded and remachined the Cummins 6.7 gear to match the ISBe3.9 rear gear tones.

 

Awesome project.

 

Subd!!

 

Well I made a little progress. I built a electrolysis tank using a 24 volt, 60 amp power supply to clean the block, then I used POR 15 Engine Enamel. Turned out pretty nice, I have a few spots I want to sand down and repaint. I also picked up a tuned turbo manifold, which is pretty killer.

 

Most interesting thread in years. Thanks for posting!

 

You sir, are my hero. I can't wait to see this develop further.
