I am in love and am going to start saving my pennies...

Be a nice engine, if it didn't have Banks name on it. Their over priced crap aint worth it.

 

Yeah I have to agree about the price but the quality is good, my buddy has a 7.3L Powerstroke with tons of banks upgrades and they are awesome. I want to do a diesel swap to my XJ and saw this and got excited.

 

It would be a nice swap. Tell friend there is much better then Banks for the 7.3. A hell of a lot cheaper too. Banks is geared toward the non motor person that knows no better. Their stuff is mediocre with a high price.

I would love that engine in a jeep, just not Banks version of it.

 

"no word on pricing" LOL...... if you want a diesel that bad get one from an early '80's mercedes and run it on WVO and be done with it...

btw, EFI Live or go home....

 

I would love to put a diesel in my XJ when the 4.0L tanks. I have a feeling this thing is gonna cost an arm and a leg like the vw diesel swap. Glad to see someone finally making another package deal.

 

How much does the TDI swap cost?

 

I have heard as cheap as 7K but if you buy the whole kit it's like 12K. But from what I have seen the Jeeps that get it around running mid/upper 30s mpg mix of city/highway.

I don't remember the website, but if you google "jeep vw tdi swap" it's one of the first ones it's a Canadian company I think.

It's HPA Motorsport's sister company.

 

Nice. It looks awesome, but with that "BANKS" logo on there it probably costs as much as the JK it will only fit into.

 

Banks. Lol. Anytime a generic tuning company comes into play, just avoid them.

 

thats the motor going into the 2014 dodge 1500 "ecodiesel" truck. chrysler owns 50% of VM Motori, and GM owns the other half. chrysler has ordered a **** load of those motors, and they have been reported to be found in the 300 as well. you can probably predict the future there. nissan is putting a CUMMINS 5.0 isv turbo V8 diesel in its 2015 titan too... in a few years, there will be more diesel engines than you can shake a stick at. which means that soon there will be some to yank at the local u pull or for sale on craigslist/kijiji, which is cool.

 

I got spar Cummins 6BT, but I don't think it'll fit.

 

It's super cool that someone is doing this but looks like it would cost a fortune. They mention an XJ kit but I see no XJ info.

 

I've seen the 4BT in Wranglers. I'm sure someone has swapped that engine in an XJ.

If I were going to diesel swap a XJ, I'd like to see if a Detroit Diesel 453 T would work. 2 stroke diesel FTW!
