DeltaVS Cummins Conversion KIT (1 Viewer)

So stoked to see DVS taking on this challenge. Any thoughts on using the CUMMINS common rail 4.5ISB? As a conversion option?

Unlikely? Those engines are hard to find on the secondhand market, usually run into the ground. Plus, 4cyl=

Ya, those are some of the parts I forgot! Clutch bracket is NLA so we are making those, or one could get them used from UAE/south america/etc.

Hydroboost plate is definitely a standalone product that will be on the site in the near future.

Nice, I was searching and pretty slim on clutch pedal stuff out there.

Glad I have the right selector, 1 point bonus for me!

24V custom build with standalone harness is the bomb. 500+HP and 1350 ft #+ in a 80 chassis (60 series 6x6).

Loop around to add in a Edge JuiceBox w/ Attitude as well.

You won't be disappointed.

Why not a common rail on something like that?

I've ran 24V and CM on 6 different welding trucks over 1.4million miles (combined)... 24V hands down was less issues and maintenance. CM is a great engine but the intakes, injectors and air system hate dirt (proven fact) . So for an offroad rig... not my choice.

Gotcha

I'll be anxiously awaiting that hydroboost plate. I've been waiting for months for another "company" to get theirs back in stock as they keep saying weeks. :/

Same...I am a buyer for the hydroboost plate as well (and when do the new DeltaVS sliders get released?).

Flat stock is on order and has been for a while) for the first batch. Busy getting this thing ready for Cruise Moab, should have it all waiting when we get back. Then it’s bend/weld slider time.

One of the “little” parts that just got finalized is stainless heater tube 1 going from front of block to heater core.

 

[Delta VS]

Full 4” exhaust from turbo to tail finalized (with no body lift). There is plenty of room for optimization of the path, which will lead to fewer parts. It currently sits at 58 individual pieces of stainless, would like to cut that by half.

The muffler has v-bands on both sides so can easily try different configurations. Have a smaller muffler on the bench to try, as well as a straight pipe.

Can the oval pipe be mandrel bent?
I'm thinking no, but curious.

Exhaust looks sweet, just curious about your process. That's a lot of cutting and welding.

Do you have capability to laser cut pie cuts? Like, is this automated/CNC, or someone standing at a machine making cuts?

I did do a quick search, but didn't see anything.

Unfortunately, those aren’t available in 4”. maybe someday the oval mandrel will be more prevalent, but until then it’s 6s as to standing at the bandsaw cutting vs ordering precut pies. It’s actually really not that much more work (opinion) to get the first one done with pie cuts. It’s when you move to production where it really slows things down. The idea here is to jig this exhaust up and reduce the part count significantly.

I figured pie cuts is probably the way to go for prototyping or one off, vs production.

I've built a few DIY exhausts and headers with mandrel bends and pipe. Appreciate your pics and comments

Well to be fair I’m sure that’s pretty much the theme of this project. Lol
