Jeep Wrangler YJ Diesel Engine Swap - Kubota Powered

Diesel swapped Jeep Wrangler YJ!!! This build is so clean and simplistic with its mechanical fuel injection, VERY little electrical, and it just fits so well!!
He decided to trade out the 4.0-liter Jeep for a super simple Kubota V2607T. The 2.6-liter turbo diesel direct injection requires so little to function it made swapping the diesel into the Jeep YJ really simple once the AX-15 transmission was figured out.
Kubota V2607 Specs
Weight: approx 518 pounds
Horsepower: approx 66hp @ 2700 rpm
Torque: approx 162 lb-ft @ 1600 rpm
Jeep 4.0
Weight: approx 480 pounds
Horsepower: 190 @ 4200 rpms
Torque: 225 lb-ft @ 4000 rpms

Ok! So, I have to start out by saying... I never would have had the confidence to rebuild my YJ if it wasn't for you! You get absolutely all the credit! Just a little background... I knew how to change my oil and tire, nothing about vehicles or even vehicle maintenance until 2020 out of necessity. My YJ had been sitting for more than 5 years, after a minor tip over by my son. He never fixed it... Now she's now up and running.. Ah, some minor hiccups here and there.. lol... Talk about that later.. It's a YJ... But, this is next level.. And I have to do this!! I even have a spare YJ.. Hmmmm the wheels are turning!~ Sincere Thanks for everything you've helped myself and everyone else with!!!!!!

Love this build. Hopefully we'll get another vid on a dyno to see his HP, TQ, and MPG once he is done with the build. Love the outtakes at the end. Keep them coming. Thanks.

[@Poweraddicts]

You are welcome. It is a very nice build for sure!! He and I do have other videos planned as the build progresses. We were having fun while shooting the video so I thought it would be fun to add the bloopers. Glad you enjoyed the video!!

Love the fuel pump access door. Going to drop that in my 88' also.

[@Poweraddicts]

It is a great mod. It makes pump access really easy without dropping the tank. Here is the link to the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4a4gpZ6hNSfl68

@@Poweraddicts Thanks and that's good to know. I think they make kits for it now that make a larger hole but have an good sealing access door. Like a port. Good stuff and look forward to seeing your progress.

[@larryfogle3697]

So the jeep pressure plate just straight bolts to the kabota flywheel?

[@doughboy726]

The Kubota flywheel was drilled and tapped in house for the AX15 pressure plate....I also machined the pilot bearing bushing....hope that helps

Would love to have a diesel swap on my YJ. Wonder how much he would charge to swap mine. Love the video and build.
