Cummins 4bt conversions
Hey guys. I'm interested in converting my jk unlimited to have a 4bt. I was wondering that if you have done a conversion yourself if you could shed your knowledge onto this thread. Any info you know about these conversions or pictures especially would be awesome. Thanks and lets see what we can dig up.

The latest JP magazine has an article on this subject - I would like to have a decent turbo diesel as well - just doesn't look that good of a mod.
|
what do you hope to accomplish with the 4bt? what are your expectations?
|
What really grabbed my attention about these diesel jeeps was mainly the fuel economy and drivability. Then of coarse the fact that diesels are torque animals an I could eat almost any trail I wanted to for breakfast once I have it set up correctly.

You do realize even if you picked up 5mpg you would have to drive 180,000 miles to break even at $4 a gallon
But it would sound cool! |
There are members here in Australia and England that have diesel JKs. I'm sure they can pipe in with mpg figures for comparison.

See if there is a diesel co-op in your local. They recycle used cooking oil and convert to basically free fuel. Or if you have the space, you can do this yourself.
