I put an R2.8 in my 1981 Scrambler. I love it!

Any update on this?

How many orders have you got? I've been looking for a set. Thanks - Dallas

Another view.

Custom front bracket to hold the cooling package. Hade to cut the back of the grill to fit it in.

Here's the turbo intake. I can only do one photo per post, so more below.

I did the R2.8 swap and used a shop in Platteville, Colorado (Herring Auto). Justin did a great job and built all the custom bracketry to hold the radiator, after-cooler and electric fans.

For what it's worth, I spoke to the parent company that bought the Poison Spyder brand. I asked if they intend on manufacturing the CJ line of items again, specifically for the CJ-8. He said there's a meeting in June/July of 2024 to discuss the brand and if it will continue and to what degree...

I found an aftercooler that will work and fit in the grill area. Axis Industries makes one but they were 6 months out so I found one with the same dimensions made by Mishimoto. Anyway, my r2.8 just showed up after 8 months. That's this winter's project.

Hey all, I appreciate the feedback. I'm building this for what I want to do with it. So not really thinking about marketability. Yes, it's expensive. I have a Defender 90 running a 300tdi and I love the thing. I'm not having to keep in the throttle going up steep grades or climbs. I'm a fan...

I see you're in Williston, ND! My company does a lot of work in ND (oil and gas) - Marathon Petroleum Corporation. We own the refinery in Dickinson and in Mandan and also do crude and gas gathering and processing in the Bakken region. Great article!

Meet up at 8:30 AM City Market tomorrow.

I’m doing the R2.8 swap this fall into my 81. I haven‘t decided if I’m doing it myself or having a local shop do it, but for what it’s worth there are some here in CO that have done the diesel swaps.
