PWW SPECIAL - Toyota FJ40 with Cummins 2.8L Turbo Diesel Swap (Blasphemy?)

[@sd2ca]

Love the upgrade to the Toyota FJ40 with Cummins 2.8L Turbo Diesel! Very well done.

[@projectwrongway9127]

Me too, its a shame I had to observe this engine in real life. Because the want, is very strong.

[@donnareed3822]

Project Wrong Way I really think I’m doing the swap. I’m working with Donavan at10line. It is super costly Donavan said Branden did a lot of his own work. Can we find out what he did him self and what he had them do. Trying to put it within my budget Also now have a f2 Motor , transmission and transfer case for sale. They we’re running great when I drove it home. Know anyone who would like to purchase

[@projectwrongway9127]

Not off the top of my head, but I know the engine trans and case would sell. It’s a good combo, and worth it to a buyer. I’m not sure what Branden did on his own, but I know the price of the 2.8 has gone down some. At least it seems like the price of the kit has gone down.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Well done indeed!

[@AngeloJJ]

Nice video. No knuckles busted, no engines toppled. You should have more guests on. Really enjoyed it.

[@projectwrongway9127]

A Jordan thanks for watching man. More guests will happen, already planning another special. But there’ll be some regular old project Wrong Way in between. I had worked the night before shooting this, so it was almost 24 hours without sleep. Made it tough! I do like the way this turned out, so I’ll be keeping ideas for this in the future.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

Men only use BIG trucks to compensate, If you own a 40 Series there is no need to compensate for any thing! Good to see the greatest Rugby team supported too.

[@dannyconelly1454]

Liked and subscribed. Screw the purists. Its all well and good to build something incredibly beautiful and period perfect and then put it in a dust proof museum, but my Cruisers are patched together with whatever works and my family and I get out and enjoy the bush in them when we can. Build what works for you mate. Love the rugby top. Go the Wallabys!!!

[@projectwrongway9127]

Danny Conelly happy to see you liked it man. Purists have a place, both on and off the road. And in a museum... but Branden built this cruiser to drive it. A lot. And it’ll do just that, it’s got new life, and that power plant should go for a long time.

[@SARpinz]

This one will spend exactly 0 days in any sort of museum and will spend many days on the road and off.. mileage is already going up (I drove 1500 miles round trip to do the show with Ben and drop off more parts).

[@scottf3553]

Awesome I'm starting into my project and love the idea of the Cummins !!

What a Beautiful fj40. Great detail on that conversion. Love them numbers on that cruiser.

[@projectwrongway9127]

Thanks Jorge, appreciate you watching the show.

[@pistnbroke2]

To hell with the purists. Cruisers were made to modify.

[@projectwrongway9127]

They have their place for sure, and lots of FJ-40's are perfect in the stock form. But Branden just orchestrated a build of what a FJ40 could be, his cruiser is ready to drive across the US and back. Multiple times it seems like.

[@SARpinz]

I have the Cummins logo mounted with magnetic backing so when I'm at an event where I know people are just going to spend the entire time chastising me I pull them off and put them in the glove box so I can just enjoy myself :-)

[@pistnbroke2]

I do like the look of a stock 40, but I myself can't leave anything standard. @SARpinz your shorty is indeed a nice piece of kit. I don't walk around telling people off for whatever they have done to their cars. It's not my place to say what they should do. They are an extension of our personality and that's What makes them so good. You can just about throw any mod at them and they still look awesome.

[@ValentinArzola]

That is an awesome swap.. I have a 1994 Toyota SR5 4Runner with the 3.slow V6 had already thought about swapping it with a Toyota diesel but. This Cummings r2.8 is also on the short list. If you don't mind me asking. What is the cost associated with this swap just on the mechanical side of it? Engine transmission and transfer case.

[@projectwrongway9127]

I’m not sure what it would be for the runner, but the engine itself has gone down in price I believe. Around 7.5k, still pricey but what a dream machine.

What is that steering wheel? Looks smaller and thicker. Perfect. What is it?

[@projectwrongway9127]

I have no idea. Ill check, but I think its the stock 78' wheel.

[@SARpinz]

Ben is right, it's just a steering wheel cover on my stock '78 wheel. I have one in the Pinzgauer as well, makes it just a little thicker and more comfortable on long drives. I'm actually going to go down to a 16" wood wheel and CNC the stock logo into it so it keeps that vintage look but is a better size with the power steering mod. Also, I think the wood will look good with the brown leather. Here's a link to the steering wheel cover in case you want to grab one - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DEITCY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@Kindoflikerambo]

Very fun video! Cool Cruiser excellent upgrades. You guys are funny as heck! I'm working on flipping a Cruiser to pay for a 2.8 swap and achieve same running gear (with much less focus on your amazing esthetics). I can't drive two Cruisers at once anyway and like you guys, I love the community and think I should share rather than hoard to spread the love. I know a bit of a personal question (as y'all were talking about going deep anyway) but how much do you have tied up in raw parts for the engine and adapters? Not asking for fab costs just raw engine and adapters costs? I can look up transfercase and transmission parts but not as much on the Cummins and considerations. Thanks fellas! Happy Cruising!

[@projectwrongway9127]

I can't answer the cost question Gene, it Brandons baby and he knows those digits. I can say the crate 2.8 has dropped in price a bit, to about 7.5k. But I know its pricey getting everything put together. I snagged his old 2f and drivetrain for myself. Thats what my little 72' is going to have. Happy cruising to you too bro, where you located?

[@jamescox1896]

Nice Job with the Swap, but I'll stick with my 2f thanks. Its great.......... When it works

[@projectwrongway9127]

I love the 2F, and I’ll drive the hell out of mine (which used to be Brandens). But some day, I’d love to run this little diesel.

[@KBrogger]

I want to know how he's pulling 22mpg. I've done that once with my R2.8. Most of the time I'm right around 20mpg. My speedo is accurate, axles, tranny, and t-case have been rebuilt, 3.70 gears. I just don't think I can expect more from a 5k# brick.

[@projectwrongway9127]

I believe it was a tune? He ended up selling the cruiser to a lucky buyer. But that kind of mileage would sure be awesome with a brick!

[@christopherhaerbig229]

So let me get this right - when the 2 of you were separated at birth and sent to live with different families, Branden eventually chose to go the cool jazz-look, and you opted for the porn ‘stache? Great show guys!

[@SARpinz]

yes, that's right ;-)

[@projectwrongway9127]

Just saw this comment, and it’s spot on lol.

[@cruiserkev1976]

Nice '78! I'd love to swap out my 2F for A Cummins someday. 👍

[@projectwrongway9127]

Kevin Japhet me too man! I bought the drive train Braden took out to install the 5spd and Cummins... so I’ll be running the “old” 2F in my cruiser for a long time hopefully. But some day, I’d like to get that turbo diesel in mine. Such a cool little motor.

[@cruiserkev1976]

@@choubert007 I'm not ready to swap yet but if my plans change, I'll let you know. 👍

[@DJsHotRodFab]

This would be the drivetrain I would want for an FJ40

[@projectwrongway9127]

Me too man. I had to settle for the driver train that was in there before the swap lol.

Ooh, another bald cruiser-mangler! 😁 Ben, im a semi-purist, and DIG what you have done both with the swap and the interior. Seems like you haven't chopped up anything, which means anyone can go back to stock, when the 2.8 dies in 40 years. BTW, I need the sticker and battery. Thanks.

[@projectwrongway9127]

Pål Sneve Prestbakk I’m a semi purist too, which will show in my cruisers build. But Brandens cruiser is a great example of a resto mod with utility the main focus point.

[@SARpinz]

Thank you! I am a huge fan of Cruisers and wouldn't dream of destroying it, but I also recognize my comfort level with change is not the same as everyone's.. I have tried hard to preserve the heritage and only make changes that enhance the experience and help it benefit from the years of tech advancement without compromising the spirit of the vehicle. #drivealegend

Shops that do the swap in California? Thanks

[@projectwrongway9127]

I’d contact Georg, at Valley Hybrids. If he can’t do it, he will point you in the right direction for sure. 1(209)475-8808, they’re open Monday.

[@1g4u]

Sounds good thanks again 👍

[@davidrfowler6432]

update !! the person removed the turbo from the 617 engine and had smaller injectors installed in the injection pump , that is how he was getting 40MPG out of the 617 5 cylinder , it was the OM616 4 cylinder mercedes diesel that was getting just shy of 50 MPG and that engine is naturally aspirated with ATF fluid mixed in with the diesel fuel

[@projectwrongway9127]

Wild!

I own a '75 with a 350 in it. Would love to have a Cummins.

[@projectwrongway9127]

John Mershon no problem man.

[@SARpinz]

Sorry for the slow reply.. work has been brutal the last few weeks. I swapped out the stock heating system for the VintageAir kit they make for Landcruisers. It works extremely well. I was glad to have the AC on that trip down to see Ben. It's much warmer south of the border - Wa state border that is :-) I'm used to the colder weather up here in the almost as great white not as far north..

[@Agwings1960]

In the late 70's a buddy of mine got a new FJ40, being a bunch of beer drinking teenagers we tried to destroy it, but didn't get it done, we eventually referred to his FJ40 as the Land Crusher.

[@projectwrongway9127]

That’s a solid worth while endeavor!

Cummins manufactures "universal powerplants" not designed to go into any specific vehicle. School buses use the same engine as a Dodge ram.
