just another om617 in a yj
So heres what's going on:
My wife's 93 YJ, which is now mostly an offroad toy, but also the spare car if one of our others die, has been a great rig so far. It has the 4.0 HO, ax-15, np231, dana 44 front w/ detroit, GM 14 bolt rear w/ govlock, Toyo MT 38x14.5x16s.

It's been great but, sadly the head gasket popped on us recently and I figured it was time for a change. I put a turbo diesel in my samurai and i love it so i figured i would us the head gasket as an excuse to put one in her jeep as well.
I also decided this was a good time to switch things up in the drivetrain. I picked this up for $100

mostly for this:

I'll be swapping the AX-15 input shaft into the Toyota r150 and then putting a single toyota transfercase with trail creeper 4.7 gears in it. I thought about dual cases, but her rear driveline is already short and i think that 4.7's should be fine for her.
I picked up this very well maintained 1980 300SD for $500 and drove it home

Thats about where i'm at right now, im waiting on trying to track down a used trail gear v6 adapter for my tcase.
so i figured I would do a build thread because each of the build threads that i read through when planning this conversion offered some different piece of advice that has been helpful to me and i hope that I can help someone else out.

Honestly wish my wife would let me do this for her. My efforts would be spoiled I think. She hates driving.

When you install the adapter get a mic on the input shaft (via the inspection plate) to help venter it all up

man, I would have put that 116 chassis up for sale again as a parts vehicle or parted it out before crushing it. Easily would have tripled your investment on that car. Lots of rare parts just got crushed that those of us in the rust belt would have appreciated!

Good idea! Didn't think about that!

I tried! I had it here, Craigslist and a local by and sell. No one wanted it! It was a shame, not a dent anywhere on the body and just a tiny bit of peeling paint on the trunk. Interior was great too. I got $100 for it as scrap, so I at least got a little bit back.
For the egr delete on the intake, I'm thinking of tapping the hole for a 1" pipe plug, since I can't weld aluminum.
The exhaust was easy, just used my 1" hole saw and cut it out of 1/4" steel and welded it in

pulled out all the vacuum lines and ghetto wiring from previous owner.
got started on my new motor mounts. cut them out of 1/2" steel. will weld brackets on them to attach to bushings on frame side mount. using 2"x.250" DOM tubing and 3/4" grade 8 bolts for the motor mounts, should be strong enough i think.

SPAL is the top shelf for fans.
You don't need a fancy controller-just a temp switch (leaf through a local parts store to find on that will work) and a relay.

built the frame side motor mount bracket out of 1/2" steel, overkill, i know, but id rather be overkill than have to worry about it at all.

engine side mount. 2"x.250" DOM tubing. you can see a boogered the top left hole, gonna weld up the other hole. Braced with 1/4" flat stock. again, i think this is all overkill, but better safe than sorry.

about as clean as i can get the welds with a 110v welder and flux core wire. I used flux core on the mounts for better penetration at the expense of pretty.

thats where I'm at now. heres a list of things i need to finish before its on the road.
-rewire fuel pump
-put gauge cluster back in
-add boost gauge
-swap front 44 for my other passenger drop 44 and move the gears, locker and knuckles over
-driver side motor mount
-pull motor back out to put clutch back on and burn in frame side brackets
-radiator hoses
-fuel lines
-fuel pressure regulator
-drain gas from tank and fill with diesel
-build skidplate
-cut down front driveline
-send rear driveline off to be lengthened and balanced.
-exhaust
I'm thinking i'm about a month out with everything that i've got going on right now. sucks not having it ready though with this nice weather we've been having out here.
been a crazy last few weeks with work and school but i made some progress tonight.

Could you have just used the ax-15 instead of the r150?
Why swap the ax-15 input shaft onto the r150?
Thanks,

got the injection pump linkage set up, need to trim it down a few inches, i was able to reuse part of the stock benz throttle (i know not really throttle, most diesels dont use a throttle, but you know what i mean) bracketry, which had a square hole that fit the jeep throttle cable perfectly, used one of the stock benz pivot balls on the IP rocker.

also shortened the rear driveshaft while i was at it. im using a yota CV driveline with a toyota joint at the bottom end of the yoke with 1310 caps to bolt into the 10-bolt yoke i'm using on the 14-bolt rear end. not nearly as sketchy as it sounds.
left to do:
-put drivelines back in
-install fuel pressure regulator
-install vacuum valve to shutoff motor when it loses switched power
-fill up fluids
-retap oil pressure sensor hole to accommodate jeep oil pressure sender
-retap thermostat housing to accommodate jeep temp sender
-cut out transmission tunnel of jeep a little more to fit the yota shifters
-build new drag link and tie rod
-replace passenger side knuckle ball joint
and thats it! its getting really close!!

You will definitely blow the oil cooler line though. The peak oil pressure is around 100psi, and guys have had clamped smooth pipes fail. A quick flare with a propane torch and ball peen would be better than nothing. Or have a local shop press a nice flare onto it.
All this Jeep talk is making me itch to pull my crapcan out of the woods

You will definitely blow the oil cooler line though. The peak oil pressure is around 100psi, and guys have had clamped smooth pipes fail. A quick flare with a propane torch and ball peen would be better than nothing. Or have a local shop press a nice flare onto it.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
I used the same piece for my GM throttle bit, amazing how they all work, now we know that GM, Jeep, and MB have a common throttle cable/idle advance square hole size. Im wondering if its some kind of industry standard

I love how this is turning out. Whats your criteria for what you paint pink? Is she selecting the accent bits?

Okay thanks! In the past I've welded little nubs onto the hard line to give the clamp something to bite onto but I like your idea a lot more! What kind of crapcan do you have?

Thanks! Yeah mostly just accent pieces. Don't want to overwhelm it with pink but a little here and there looks the best.
That's cool that that part is so interchangeable! I guess a metric square hole and std square hole is the same!
This has been a fun and fairly straightforward conversion so far. Much simpler than the Peugeot turbo diesel I put in my Suzuki samurai!

I've got a DJ5 frame/232 I6/3spd auto, 2wd. Right now It's got the DJ5 mail truck body on it, which isn't mine but will be swapped for a CJ5 body. It needs new brake lines and possibly wheel cylinders, a LOT of pressure washing under the hood, and some de-rigging on the carb & linkage. Could probably have her on the road if I spent a Saturday and $150 on it (Plus $100 for some used tires that aren't dry rotted)
[misty eyes] one day she will have my 617, sm465, np205, heavier axles, etc....I almost have all the parts. Flywheel/clutch R&D is ongoing [/misty eyes]

We live in a place where smog is only required at the time of sale. I just won't be able to sell it. Otherwise, I will "sell" it to a friend in another state that will let me register it with the older engine, register it as a diesel and then transfer it back into California. Totally legal right?

Depends on the State. In California a conversion needs to have a newer motor in it than the vehicle, and all the emissions equipment for THAT motor must be in place.
For Georgia, all that needs to be necessary is that the vehicle passes the emissions required for the base vehicle. Since my vehicle is over 25 years, I just need to pay the tax and that's it, no inspection. I'm not sure what is required in the OPs home state.

So i tried to start it but it won't start. I haven't finished the fuel lines so it's jut sucking and dumping from a 5gal can of diesel. Glow plugs work, cranking well but not even trying to start, even with starting fluid. I'd assume it's able to suck enough fuel, right? I'd like to start it soon to make sure it all works
Stay away from ether, it's bad news bears for turbo IDI engines. Frustrating to skip the EZ-Start-in-a-can but worth not damaging the engine.
Did you adjust the valves? Is the vacuum shutoff activated accidentally?

Yeah I adjusted the valves when the motor was out. I think I did it right! Used the guide on diesel giant
Is the vacuum shutoff the little plastic deal on the top of the IP? There aren't any vac lines hooked up to it, so it shouldn't be off, right?
Okay good to know thanks!

The metal pod on the back of the pump is for shutoff. Pull vac, it shuts off. Atmospheric pressure, it runs. If you have it hooked to a "live" vacuum line the pump will pull enough vacuum during cranking to keep it shut off.

So when I cracked the injector lines and hand primed the pump, i met resistance and diesel leaked from underneath the hand pump. Is that normal?
(09-27-2013, 03:35 PM)jenyus Okay good to know. It's not hooked up to anything. So it's just pulling atmosphere right now
So when I cracked the injector lines and hand primed the pump, i met resistance and diesel leaked from underneath the hand pump. Is that normal?
The hand pump shouldn't leak. If it's got a screw top it's the crappy old version. if it's black it's the fancy nice new one.
fuel should leak around the injector tops-when I say crack the lines i mean loosen the 17mm nut on top of the injectors just a bit, then crank the starter. Once it starts leaking fuel there tighten the nut back down. just like bleeding brakes, x5 injectors.
edit: the hand pump won't prime the injector lines-you need to crank it over to do that.

got the power steering hose made today at Napa as well. cost $38 and took 5 minutes for them to do it. just had to take in my old fittings for them to match. they put a new fitting on for the mercedes side, and for the jeep side they reused a couple inches of the stock jeep line i had cut and attached it with a compression fitting. seems like its going to work real well. line was 22" long.

all i need to do now is fill up the fluids, retap the stock oil sending unit port on the mercedes for the jeep sending unit (to keep the original gauge), wait for the spicer u joints to arrive for the rear driveline, put in a 4.2 tbi fuel pump (lower psi than 4.0HO), put the radiator hoses on, clean up a bit of the wiring and its done!
i decided not to try and start it yet since i dont have anything int he stock oil sender port and i dont want to squirt all my oil out
its almost there!

i cracked the injector lines one at a time to bleed them but still nothing. im not getting any smoke from unburned fuel either. not sure if thats normal or not, but on my peugeot diesel in my samurai it pours smoke when its trying to start from all the unburned fuel.
one thing that concerns me is when i used the starting fluid, i saw some smoke come up from inside the valve cover and out the vent tube. why would there by any smoke in there? did i do the valves totally wrong? the motor was in a running/driving 300sd before i pulled it so i would be surprised if there was anything wrong with the engine itself.
any thoughts benz pros? ive spent 8 months building this thing and im ready to drive it!
well its all together and ready for its maiden voyage, but still not starting.

Has the IP ever been off the block? Did that donor car drive to your place of get towed there?
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'
Well, I am not a benzpro. But, I have put an IP on the block in the complete wrong time. Did you say this motor has never been fired? I would stay off the ether, you shouldn't need that.
