  • Kubota 3.3L Common Rail Diesel swapped GMC Sierra 1500 SLT. Originally this engine came from a skid steer. I built a compounded turbo setup for more potential horsepower in the future. As it stands right now, its 70hp and 200Lb torque. Cruises at highway speeds and gets around 30MPG.

    It’s been a while now since I built it. But I have been driving it daily, approx 20,000km so far, with no hiccups. Getting over 30mph now on highway, 25 in town

      Mph:) the engine rev limit is 3000rpm so top speed is 140kph

      It’s currently only 70hp with 205-215ft/lbs torque… so it wouldn’t have the power to go any faster . I need to find something or someone that can tune a Kubota (Denso) ecu

      Thank you. 70hp is just the stock ecu program. We will bump it up a little more in time, but the main goal of this project is to have a full size truck with a kubota engine that gets 30mpg+ and does highway speeds.

    • @dreece2000
      @dreece2000 Před 2 lety +1

      Man that really is some quality work, Is it getting 30 mpg and will it do highway speeds. Did you go with a lower stall converter. As the stall on that tmbx converter a little high. I cant think of the code that uses a 1100-1300. Been wanting to do the same thing except to use a mercedes/dodge sprinter drivetrain.

      I was a mechanic at the kubota dealership for 11 years:) they were very supportive of me doing it after hours in the shop. Took 1 year to make the engine and electronics work together, and another 4 months to mate the transmission and accessories. Over 30,000 km without issue, and 0ver 30mpg
