Cummins Cruise 2018: The R2.8 Crate

[@BeefaloBart]

So many project ideas for that R2.8 and no income to pay for it.

[@RyanTreks]

So nice. Finally a small diesel in the US that can be bought by the general public. I've been looking in overseas markets to import a diesel but getting parts would have been a nightmare or applying a bobcat diesel but this makes it so easy! Thank you Cummins!

[@jonathangarzon2798]

I wanna throw this in my '98 Ford ranger 5speed manual

[@southernwulf3335]

I'm wanting to do that for a 2011 ford ranger. So I can have it as a stealth truck for camping with a trailer

[@richallen7798]

I’m doing this hahaha

[@brandonmckenney8175]

Once the block goes on my 1940 International D15, I hope to put this into it.

[@chainshaw7792]

Thanks again for your videos. Someday I hope I can afford a 2.8 and pay someone to put in my ttb. bronco.

[@empirecases4128]

I've wanted to order this engine for a year now but I still have not seen someone complete a Land Rover where they are able to keep the functions like Traction Control, ABS, Hill Decent all working with the ECU and TCU. If I am wrong then I hope someone points me to where I can see a video and to where someone sells everything you need, without having to buy a 6 speed sequential GM transmission as nice as they may be. By the time you buy both the engine, transmission, all the adapters and accessories if you go with the 6 speed it will cost around $20K and I have not seen a R2.8 in a Discovery with that gearbox operating yet, only an LS conversion.

[@catanksrus]

did they ever respond to your question?

[@Armandinho8]

Bump... I'm ready

[@drgonzo767]

Check with these guys xerbera.com/

[@bp9749]

That's the key... keeping the D2/P38 BCM happy and functioning with a engine swap. I haven't seen anyone actually accomplish it. There a few claims and articles...but like this video...a lot of hype with out any real world information. Having it function like a stock truck but w a better power plant is critical to this whole idea. I'm surprised at the lack of information/bragging especially considering the price tag. You'd think youtube would be full of videos of the company bragging about how good it works....

[@bp9749]

@@empirecases4128 yea the tinker guy...is really awesome...but 1. I don't really count him because he did a 4bt and completely changed everything about the truck. I left a comment on one of his videos and he straight up said he plans to do his own relay board version of the BCM and bypass it completely. So to me that's a no go. 2. The Hooligan build is dead in the water...right when he was supposed to get it running/driving. Zero episodes since. Even if he does...the earlier model D1 doesn't have the same type of BCM as the D2. With out the Lucas/Bosch system working (or at least faking it) the entire truck is a shell not worth driving. No power anything. No ABS or traction control. No AC. So it's annoying when we see a D2 rolling down a road for one of these shots and see ZERO information about how it was done.

[@TheKlamminator]

Going to put this in my 1990 suburban

[@zackde8795]

Sticking one in the 99 Dakota

[@myrongaines5542]

Can u make a video of each vehicle build?

[@the_truck_farmer]

I’d love the 2.8 in an S10 zr2 but who can afford $10k for a project vehicle engine!? Holy cows that’s a lot of money! You could have a pretty rowdy gas engine for that kind of $

[@noahhowellstone1264]

I want this in the new Jeep truck

[@catanksrus]

Can you recommend a garage in Eastern North Carolina to do a R2.8 swap in a 2001 Disco2?

[@user-tw8ov]

What city

[@SupramanTRD]

I wanted this in my toyota pickup

[@Lcr34]

@French Frys Not sure if you can get 1KD in USA. 180hp 3 liter 4 Cyl (simple tune will make 250rwhp,400lbs ft)

[@dogman_]

I would love do a diesel swap for my 2000 Jeep wj, give it new life. My questions are.....who does this kind of work in NC. I'm in the RDU area, and the only shop I see is Rude's Diesel off of 85. Will this engine bolt right up to the stock transmission, and will I have to beef the transmission up to handle the tq? Thanks.

[@jluck1469]

People actually asked for such dismal power?

[@rydstallion75]

Could I put this in an 84 gm class c motorhome? 8500 lbs, TH400 trans, 4.10 axle.

[@oscarbear7498]

Make a moderm 6bt please same thing as a r2.8 but 6 cylinders. Make it a 4.5L 6 inline

[@1g4u]

Any updates with the r2.8? Is it California legal yet? Would like to put it in my 91 d21 4x4 🏔

[@Mechanix360]

Would the R2.8 create fit my 2003 honda pilot??

[@alfredbautista4997]

DROP THE PRICE !!!!!!!

[@araps4w354]

I hope to raise money soon to buy this engine for my 2004 Jeep Cherokee Limited whose stock VM Motori 2.5 CRD engine has given up the ghost. Problem is, am in Nairobi Kenya and I don’t know if the local Cummins dealership (CMC Motors) can help bring it in, or how else I can ship it in, and how much it would cost finally...

[@nathiolifant6842]

I'm in South Africa. Try the ISF 2.8 and look for a small ZF or Aisin as a transmission, the latter probably from a small Hino 300

[@oscarbear7498]

What duel engines using this?

[@larrymcmullen7757]

Has anyone put one of these in a first generation Toyota Tundra? I have an 06.

[@Armandinho8]

I'm interested in repowering my discovery II... is there a write up on the Discovery II featured in this video?

[@thereasonableamericans411]

I just repowered mine with the LS 5.3 instead, after a year of messing around with it, this cummins just isn't the right choice, mostly because transmission options but for a variety of other ones too. Look up the long thread online, 05TuboS2K is me, I'm all over it on landroverforums.com/forum/engine-swaps-63/discovery-2-ls-conversion-90395/page76/

[@1g4u]

Where can we buy? Any shops in California that can do the swap?

[@roboteen]

Looking for something wild.... I'd love to do an engine swap with an r56 mini cooper, just not sure about space

[@connormccarter9581]

There are a pair of English gas heads trying to squeeze a japanese turbo charged 2 liter into early 80's Austin Mini if you want to see what type of hair pulling it takes to get anything but a tiny 1 liter engine in a Mini: kzbin.info/door/HvBHWBzzB7NyU5tIiEZHBg

[@itiswhatitis1306]

Looking to put this in a 2005 Silverado 1500 4x4 is this possible

[@boistoys5451]

No video of the engine in your truck?????

[@1g4u]

Shop in Northern California that will install?

[@Jmschnider]

This is going in my 2000 Cherokee someday

[@Eggomania86]

Will this 2.8 work on a 2016 Toyota Rav4?

[@dakotawilliams3465]

Has anyone dropped this in an old ranger yet?

[@s302jzget]

What about muffler and def etc? Uses none.

[@thereasonableamericans411]

Go back to gear driven manual setups like a 4BT and we'll buy it, we don't want to see chains that have to be replaced. Oh and don't make it in China, we don't want to pay serious money for junk. Almost what we wanted Cummins....almost. I had to swap a GM 5.3 LM4 into my discovery 2 but I'd have loved a cummins if you had made it worth while.

[@beejel9628]

Can I put this in a 2002 xterra in California?

[@workingcountry1776]

Comifornia is tough since they snif test call customer support. An X with a diesel would be amazing though. Especially if its a 6spd

[@OvenBak3d360]

I think it’s only 50 state up to 99

[@SupramanTRD]

I love this engine, but at $10K CAD just for the engine, you won't have many customers. A 4BT is alot cheaper. This is before buying mounts, driveshafts, wiring, cooling components, exhaust fab work, bellhousing, clutch, etc...This is easily a $20K swaps

[@Kyle-rk8bw]

Not really. I’m doing a 4bt build right now and I’ll have almost 10k into it by the time I’m done and it’s not a brand new motor. I think 10k is pretty reasonable for a brand new motor

[@lightthef]

I want this

[@alfamud]

I want this on my Bj70 Land Cruiser... :/

[@Xkekeskfndsmw]

Watch Dirt Every Day. Watch it and try not conclude an LS swap is a better and way, way, way cheaper option. This thing is like $10K+. The fuel savings didn’t really seem to materialize on the show either.

[@redkrawler]

Too bad it’s so expensive!

[@yohkodevilhunter8292]

And from what I read.... Made in China

[@S7EVE_P]

I beg to disagree with that guy. 6BT into a Land Rover Discovery no problem and that sound it makes is totally unique and cannot be accomplished from this 2.8!

[@StrengthFromGiving]

I hope no one takes your comment seriously. A 6bt will absolutely not work in anything less than a 3/4 ton frame, and even at that requires trussing, experto crede.

[@myrongaines5542]

6bt in a disco? Are u mad?

[@Icutmetal]

Steve Powell Sure 👌

[@mattgoins1352]

Need a bigger 4 cylinder for us that need more power. Something with around 500 ft lbs.

[@franmitch3589]

Matt Goins put a bigger engine their is several options or regear that's an option most never consider they just run their mouth and wanna big engine kinda throws off the little dick image towards others, but seriously regear if the HP or torque numbers ain't what your looking for that's how the 20r and 22r Toyota guys do it

[@kennethlawrence8993]

yall lost me a $9k

[@workingcountry1776]

A fresh 4bt is $10k.... this is much better

[@atxatxatxatx]

$7700 now. They don't ship to TX though. Bummer.

[@elchango8862]

Don’t be poor.

[@orourkean]

@@elchango8862 That's hot.

[@Icutmetal]

Kenneth Lawrence Ok.

[@seattlelink]

Made in China.....

[@myrongaines5542]

Anything is better than that horrid 4.6 Bosch engine

[@mmcalifornia8600]

Has anyone had any luck doing this swap in the communist state of California?
