Cummins B3.3 Powered FJ60

[NM-Frontier]

Thanks for the update! You have got a really nice thing going with this build, I love how clean every thing is. And if you get a CAMPTEQ pop up on there, oh my, I don't think this forum could handle that, it probably crash the whole thing!:sombrero:

What does a 2F weigh?

713 lbs. for an FJ40 2F, a little more for one from an FJ60.

very nice machine and conversion.

perhaps you may look into compound turbos?

you should have plenty of space in the engine bay and add a 'wee bit' of oomph to the truck.

It used to look like this:

Now it looks like this:

It's like going from an fj40 to a 200 series...

fly safe man.

When do they expect the transition to be complete fleet wide?

Did I read correctly that you don't rev past 2,000 rpm? Peak power is made at 2,600 rpm for most variants of this engine (not sure which version of the B3.3T you have) and governor break speed is up around 2,750 rpm on some of them. May want to rev it out more to get some much needed power from it, because you're likely making <65 hp at 2,000 rpm.

Regarding the question on the intercooler; Cummins bumps the torque output by quite a bit on the intercooled B3.3TAA. It jumps from 181 ft-lb @ 1600 rpm to 224 ft-lb @ 1600 rpm (again, this is engine configuration specific). This may really help get your cruiser up the hills!

Great little Japanese engine, but it's got it's work cut out for it pulling a Cruiser up and over hills. This engine is typically used in fork lifts and smallish skid steers! Not talking down on your choice or build, and frankly I'm envious.

I guess the tach translation isnt exactly "accurate" then... there is no possible way i could get to 2600 on the tach, you can hear when the engine is at its wits end... i would say on my stock tack the sweet spot for power is between 1500-2000.

I wish i knew where to start with the intercooler. I understand how they work and be installed... but the whole job looks to be a lot of custom work!

Very cool build and very envious. Awesome rides on both accounts - and if you can handle a 5-wet behind the boat, I'm sure the Cummins is no big deal.

Sweet, I'm putting that engine in my sons FJ40, are you using the FJ60 4speed? What adaptor did you use?

 

[continentaldrifter]

awesome conversion.......kudos to you and you attention to detail...you have a beautiful rig and yes, i am envious !! Regarding the turbo whistle...Please dont quote me on it, and maybe someone else may verify, but on my 5.9, there was a "silencer ring" in the intake side on the turbo. I looked and cant seem to find a blown up view of your turbo, but ....i dunno...maybe its not there???

There is a 3.3 to GM adapter from phoenix castings and then a GM to H55 adapter behind that, i was told they (phoenix) might be doing 1 piece ones now?

Thanks im going to pull out the books and look into this... i wonder if i missed that when i removed the old system. That would make my life so much easier than pulling the dash and sound proofing!
