Did you put in two Magnets for the pickup to pick up from? I can not really tell in the picture what was done to the bottom pulley to enable the pick up to well pick up . And since I have a 4 Cylinder then I would need two contacts correct?

Very spiffy idea I must say.

What is a good Combination Gauge to use for EGT/Boost? I was looking at one of these GlowShift 3 in 1 gauges. GlowShift | 3 in 1 Diesel Combo Gauge - Pyrometer EGT, Digital Boost and Temperature Gauges

 

I drilled holes and cleaned up the sharp edges all you need is an interuption. yours will need to be 180degreee apart. The notches you drill need to be about a 1/2 wide otherwise the tach will "blur" out at a higher rpm. I am using a glow shift 3in1. best bang for your buck in my opinion, but anything will work.

 

One more dumb question. How deep would I need to make the holes? Ok two dumb questions. If I went to an auto parts store what pickup should I ask for?

Thank You very much.

 

Fte used a speed sensor from a ford ranger rear end I use my factory crank sensor from my old 3.0v6. 1/4 deep should do fine

 

I think this may not matter but I will ask anyway. Does it matter where I put the two holes as long as they are 180 degrees apart?

I was looking at the GlowShift 3 in1 Black Face with the EGT needle but it only goes to 1500F as I liked the Digital Readout for the Boost Gauge as it will go higher than 15LBS and looks more accurate than a needle. Sorry all this stuff is pretty darn new to me.

 

Hey Rangmar. I almost forgot to ask. What happened to your Cherokee? Was it 2 or 4wd? The reason I am asking. I wanted to try and use the Carrier aluminum oil pan if it will fit? My Cherokees are 2wd. it looks like it may fit, the close part is going to be the carrier oil pan and the attach points for the upper control arm on the jeep axle. I was going to pull the engine from the jeep today, but I got busy working on a Turbo exh adapter instead.
This jeep I got is a Real POS especially on the inside. I don't know how an interior can get so dirty. I need to hit the whole thing hard with the pressure washer maybe that is why I procrastinated it today.

 

My cherokee was a 4x4. My buddy had begged me since I bought it to see it to him. It had a factory Dana 44 in the rear. He will be putting a kubota in it with my adapters. The carrier pan hit the upper control arms with any suspension movement but the bobcat pan fit perfect

mpg update 40.1
312x1.08 to correct for tires is 336.9 divide that by 8.4 gallons
40 mpg in a 4x4 truck with 31 inch mud tires !!!!!! Woohoo

 

Sorry to keep getting back to the Cherokee. I am curious what your flywheel set back ended up at? and how thick did you turn down your flywheel housing too.
I believe the ford guys are turning the flywheel housings down to 1/2" thick, curious if it was the same for the jeep???

thanks

 

I had left the jeep/kubota completely stock. I had mated the jeep flywheel to the kubota flywheel with a .5 inch thick steel ring as to use the jeep relucter wheel There are better ways to do this with 1 flywheel I was copying the yanmar setup.

 

ok I remember now I think. you had the double stacked flywheels. for my conversion I am planning to mimick FTE and Used Kubotaman. and I guess you. with the shaved flywheel housing, and a steel adapter plate.
We now have pretty increased speed limits in Texas, there is a section just north of me with posted 85mph speed limit. Pretty much all the big highways are 75mph now I know it is probably a bit high, but How does the Kubota do at 2600 rpm cruise. My Dakota is running just a hair under 2500 at 78mph. I will need a bit more speed than that. but 2550 to 2600. The Dakota has a 3.2:1 rear end. the jeep is 3.08:1, I think that will be a very good ratio.

thanks

thanks
