Congrats !! it is a huge milestone getting to this point in your build. Well done. A quick note with your breather going pre turbo and no catchcan, just be careful It will quickly oil up the compressor wheel. Cummins 12V's can legally vent to atmosphere, Thats how they came from factory. Looking forward to seeing your adventures out and about in this beast.
Depends if the 12V is already too old to go in the Pat in the first place. Usual rule is that engine needs to be same age as the vehicle or newer. Emissions levels usually have to meet what ever is newer, engine and/or the chassis. Being that its a P-pump, it is too old for the Pat in certain states.
The conversion about $25k, reco on the engine nearly $10k, performance bits were used instead of reco originally so another $10k, suspension and stuff for engineering probably $12k, auto trans build $12k... Mistakes and wrong stuff bought $2k 🤣
Watched all the videos of the build multiple times as I busy with the exact same build currently. What I would like to know is whether you installed a sump with the Airdog or just utilized the standard lines from tank?
thanks for watching! I installed 1/2" hose to the tank but used the factory in-tank pickup tube. The hose was a little big for the tube but sealed on it just fine with a hose clamp. Later I may upgrade the pickup tube to a larger one, but only if I see fuel pressure drops under load. I'm not sure if there's a difference in pickup tube diameter between models but for what it's worth, my tank was from a TD42. The return from the engine bay uses the orignal return line, so for now as I don't have a subtank, I've connected the airdog return to the connection on the filler neck which is normally used to feed from the sub into the main tank.
Don't feed the crank gasses back into the intake unless you gonna use some really good seperators like a pair of ProVent 200's (number reprisents HP of donk).
Dear friend, can you explain the connection of the engine to the gearbox in detail, because the engine differs from the model of the car and the gearbox as well
TexStar were great to deal with but just remember a running engine just means running not necessarily up to date on servicing. Mine still needed new injectors, turbo, all gaskets, water pump, tappet cover, lift pump... The internals were good which is the main thing but I had to adjust my expectations a little
It feels excellent, although I did get a smaller TC as I thought I'd be keeping the motor stock. Will see how this goes, for now it feels great. Engine doesn't seem to be over revving at all Actually had a gearbox issue during the drive test video, it's sorted now, but that was maybe 1/2 throttle and 1st/2nd gear only. Hang tight for a real first drive video ;)

I googled your brand and you have 88% bad (1 star) ratings on trustpilot. I attempted to respond to your message on facebook but it appears the account was banned before I had the chance. Thanks for the offer but I'm not sure a relationship with your business would be a smart move for our channel's image. Have a great day au.trustpilot.com/review/auxbeam.com
Check my videos mate, I did all of it pretty much. All up I've spent... a lot more than I should have. $40k thereabouts. Future video will go over the cost and why it got to that much

Thanks for the heads up. Yep it's dumping oil into the intake. Not a whole heap but I will look into a catch can. cheers!

Awesome mate!
Can’t wait to see the next patrol video 👍👍
Hey mate, love the series and hope there is another ep soon! Do you have a rough idea on what this cost you?
The conversion about $25k, reco on the engine nearly $10k, performance bits were used instead of reco originally so another $10k, suspension and stuff for engineering probably $12k, auto trans build $12k... Mistakes and wrong stuff bought $2k 🤣
this is really good ! youve done a great job with this instructional video too!
awesome shed skid, looks sick
and sounds mint
Sweet bro. Keep it up 👍🏼 your welds look like mine -SOLID-
Thanks mate! Haha mint 🤙
What a BEAST !!

thanks bud. that's the plan
14:52 FTW!
Heheh 😎
Do u think a 6bt will fit in a 75/early 79 model with coil front
yep easily
Yeewwwwwww
Dear friend, can you explain the connection of the engine to the gearbox in detail, because the engine differs from the model of the car and the gearbox as well
Adapter kits are used between the engine and gearbox and gearbox and transfer case
Hey mate, looking into putting a 6bt into my 80. What was the process with Tex Star like? Probably go VE pump
TexStar were great to deal with but just remember a running engine just means running not necessarily up to date on servicing. Mine still needed new injectors, turbo, all gaskets, water pump, tappet cover, lift pump... The internals were good which is the main thing but I had to adjust my expectations a little
Sounds like that converter is struggling a bit
It feels excellent, although I did get a smaller TC as I thought I'd be keeping the motor stock. Will see how this goes, for now it feels great. Engine doesn't seem to be over revving at all

I’m hanging to get another update video as I’m doing the same conversion right now!
@@OutAboutOffroad how has she been driving lately?
What is that pipe jig Calvin is using on the cooler pipes.
custom made thingo
@@OutAboutOffroad I like it 👌
hey mate, where did you get the water pump from? i cant seem to find one in australia. all i see on ebay is ones in china that look dodgy as fuck.
Hey mate, Kelvin from Marquand Engineering can get any genuine 6bt/4bt part you want. Has pretty much everything in stock too
When’s the next ep
I keep saying 'soon' but I need to stop making excuses and just do a release 🤣
Where did you purchase the engine, Sir?
USA
Is the 6BT engine more powerful than the Nissan 4500 petrol engine?
oh god yes. I still haven't put this on a dyno but if I had to guess, I'd be making 400 HP and 1800Nm ? Hopefully a little more than that
Can you do a QnA about the build?
Would be happy to! Any particular questions you got on your mind?
@@OutAboutOffroad how’s the transmission so far?

How much did the conversion cost mate and where did you get it done
Check my videos mate, I did all of it pretty much. All up I've spent... a lot more than I should have. $40k thereabouts. Future video will go over the cost and why it got to that much
Gday mate anymore update on your rig
Why did you keep the cat or you going to hollow it out
so I can get it engineered lol
are you gonna 4 link it
Hadn't planned to, but maybe later
What gearbox do u have in there?
It's a 4L80E mate, did an ep on the build of it here: ua-cam.com/video/W1E8m3xCaTg/v-deo.html
Thx bro!
Everything is great in this vid! Except the driving side of the road, obviously, but who cares…
I want to replace my zd30 engine
Do it :) There are cheaper options than the 6BT as well
