  • PROJECT WRONGWAY SPECIAL EPISODE:
    Check out Branden's 2.8 Cummins Turbo Diesel Swapped FJ40. Many would say his cruiser was perfect in its stock form, but Brandon had a dream. With the help of Level 10 Industries, they created something special. In this episode we discuss the engine swap, and other details about this epic cruiser. Purists can hate all they want, this cruiser is amazing.
    Check out Brandon's instagram @Sarpniz
    Look at www.level10industries.com for your future build
    Special thanks to my brother Aaron. He helped me get the show off the ground, created the intro, music and logo I use for this show. I’m lucky to have him as a brother. Check out his instagram @aarondraper.
    This show is an attempt at humor. Im not a professional, and it should be clear within the first few minutes of every episode. I’m trying to give it “the old college try”. Learn with me, most importantly, learn what not to do. Im building the Landcruiser to be my driver, and overlander. I have a 2012 Honda Accord I drive every day, and its a soulless journey each time.

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

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

      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
      @projectwrongway9127  4 роки тому +3

      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.

      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

      So I finally found a cruiser to purchase. It is a 78. I found it in Kingston Washington. I have the top off and the seats out. I stored them in a heated space. On the north side of Washington it’s wet and I didn’t want them to rot. They are in great shape. This week I’m taking the rest of it apart to sand blast. Need to find out what I need to replace and what I can cut and patch

There are a couple other things though that would be pretty helpful and that would be a detailed list of some of the places that you may have purchase some of the upgrades that you’ve done on your vehicle although my vehicle is complete there are a few things that I would like to upgrade.

      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.

    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?

    those MPG numbers came right from cummins themselves, people would just bolt on the weber carb and drive ( it was jetted for higher cubic inch engines ) you had to purchase the optional jet kit and test the various jets to find the correct jet . some person i cannot remember reported getting just shy of 30 MPG but that was with a light foot , not sure about the A/C though , now a better turbo diesel engine swap is the 82 to 87 mercedes OM617 inline 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine , a business makes adapters to bolt to all of the toyota and jeep transmissions , that engine with a slightly modified injection rack are recording almost 40 MPG at 9 psi turbo ( this engine is a 5,500 rpm max street diesel engine )this engine is all mechanical , no electronics to fail , the OM617 non-turbo engines are getting just shy of 50 MPG , but are slow to accelerate up to highway speeds , but i will be clear ( the MPG numbers are WITH injection pump modifications and ARE NOT stock )

    • @projectwrongway9127
      @projectwrongway9127  5 років тому

    • @projectwrongway9127
      @projectwrongway9127  5 років тому

      Cummins did put on their site some info on a Jeep swap, mileage was 30.8 hwy and 25.8 city, and they compared it to the stock TJ 4.0. I imagine they will be coming up with some better mileage numbers as tunes and modifications become more popular.
      Also, I know for some, mpgs wasn’t the main concern or reason for the Cummins swap. But those that have the engine will speak for themselves. As for me, I’ll be running the Toyota 2F with some added efi down the road.
