Koch Diesel Conversion - Simpler=Better - 08-12-2012 I was over at the Bantam Jeep festival and they had a Wrangler on display with an OM617 in it, here are the photos/ video I took. It's the Koch diesel ( http://www.mercedesdiesel4x4.com/ ) guys. RE: Koch Diesel Conversion - sassparilla_kid - 08-12-2012 Pretty sweeeet! I'm just wondering, why does the oil pan need to be so massive? RE: Koch Diesel Conversion - Simpler=Better - 08-13-2012 It's +1 qt, my guess is that if you're going through the trouble to make a custom pan you might as well gain some oil capacity. Then you won't have that annoying 1qt of leftover oil on each change :p RE: Koch Diesel Conversion - sassparilla_kid - 08-13-2012 That makes sense RE: Koch Diesel Conversion - tazulica - 10-25-2012 Nothing to brag about but here is my '86 Yoda 4Runner I built last year: Video: http://youtu.be/yjBc-w6Lz5M RE: Koch Diesel Conversion - Simpler=Better - 10-26-2012 Um, that's a lot to brag about! Did you use a conversion kit? Any major hangups while swapping? RE: Koch Diesel Conversion - jandamerc - 10-30-2012 I hate to say it; but thats a pathetic excuse for a mud pit. lol. Good pics of the swap and nice job on that toyota tazulica. RE: Koch Diesel Conversion - raysorenson - 11-01-2012 Sweet! They have motor mount adapters for $60. I can use those for the FJ40 swap. I'd rather use those than fab my own (lazy). You jeep guys have it good with the crawl ratios. The FJ40 has a pretty tall low range which might prove problematic with low off-boost torque.
