1999 ranger yanmar to kubota v2203 swap
#151
I would stick with the year and model for your truck to minimize any fit issues. I have found the greatest supply and lowest price on these trannys are in Oregon and Washington state. Several of the salvage yards there are advertising on e-bay that is where I got mine. Let them know you are doing an auto to manual conversion and they will possibly send you more than just a tranny. Do your home work as far as what the swap will need. I have a drawing of the 3.0 bell housing pattern if you would like it for an adapter plate. The electronic transfer cases are the same with either the auto or the manual on a four wheel drive. I got my tranny from simpsonused parts 877-246-7278 these people were outstanding. They sent me the interior shifter plates,wiring harness, and an original flywheel with my tranny. I would recommend using the Kubota flywhell though. Less adapters are always better and my Kubota flywheel turned out beautiful very clean setup with the Kubota star

a few questions
Ceramic coating worked out great. Egts are less, boost comes up even quicker bottom end especially. Picked up about 2lbs max boost and mpg went from 39 avg highway to 42.7 driving from Monroe Wa to fte's house near Portland running 75mph most of the way. It cost 120 I got it done at Pacific Performance Coatings in/near Auburn wa ( I am pretty sure that was what the place is called , redveloce found this place) they did really good work and took time to really clean my exhaust housing and manifold up.

Sorry for everyone who has tried to contact me for engines. I have been very busy with work and I have not had a chance to get back with anyone. I currently have a shipment of five low hour engines ( all under 2000 hours, most near 1300hrs), one of which fte has already purchased. They are 2006 model year di motors, $1200 each and I do warranty them. Shipping may be available, pm me for my phone #.

How did you convert the turned down flywheel cover into an adaptor? Is it strong enough? I picked up a v2203idi I want to swap into my 95 ranger, keeping everything else stock. Was a 2.3 4 cyl manual m5od 4x4. Reg cab. 300k on the truck and want to swap in the diesel. Will the idi take a turbo? Lol do you still have $1200 di motors for sale? Thanks, been reading all your posts for awhile. Hope you don't mind me pm'ing you

IDI VS DI
Direct injection diesels are as much as 15 percent more efficient than IDI diesels in terms of thermal efficiency. Power and torque output is up to 40 percent better with DI. Additionally, fuel consumption is up to 30 percent less, and that means carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emissions are reduced by a similar amount. The transition of the burning gases from the precombustion chamber to the cylinder in IDI diesels results in significant heat losses into the cylinder head and cylinder walls, which reduces efficiency.

On these engines are the blocks pistons rods etc the same or at least interchangeable? Could a guy simply switch out the idi head for a di head? I've only got $800 in the motor. Bought it of some hillbilly that was try to get it started with a battery charger. Paid $300. Got it home and eliminate all the refer related wires and got it to crank. No fuel, discovered the rack on the injection pump was seized from sitting with contaminated fuel. $500 to have the pump rebuilt. Now it starts instantly and sounds great. Would I be better off using this for a genset or skid steer repower and save to get a idi motor?
