Useful Cummins R2.8 conversion parts

Another Alternator assembly. This one from the VW Cummins Application. Prices for this support show around $170 but can always be cheaper locally. Layout is alternator, Compressor and Power Steering Pump. Compressor is labeled as VALEO/DKS15DS but points towards the compressor info I put above. Alternator is listed as 3X lug mount which points me towards the Dodge application as well which expands options for higher amp output alternators more easily accessible. Will really need confirmation from someone utilizing this setup eventually.

PN'S: 5400523 or 5400524

For anyone considering this bracket due to its layout and compact setup. I was incorrect in previous statement about AC compressor and alternator. The AC compressor part number for what appears to be compatible is A VW part.

Part number for VW application Air compressor: 23C820803D / bc447110-2440
Note: some places call it by model specifications "10P15 8pk 12V" if searching for compatible models.

This part number could also possibly work as well
23B-820-803.
Also have to be very careful buying it. There are 12V and 24V versions according to listings.

Alternator part numbers appear to be : 23B903015A / F000.BL0.6H7 / 2T0903015
Note: connector is 2 Pin " L and DFM"

Oil pans. This one is beyond my knowledge of why Cummins has pans with central pickup point feeding two locations being fed and then have pans with one location being fed, I was under the assumption that the stock R2.8 Oil pan was reversible but I may be mistaken. One thing of note is that there is a oil heater option you can see in some of the pans. On the regular R2.8 you can see an impression for where the heater could go if it was molded with the threads. There are also higher capacity versions of the pans. I wont get into every single pan since there turns out to be a lot once you start changing the number at the end of the PN's.

Option 1: R2.8 stock style but provisioned with Oil Heater included

Option 2: Stock style but Reversible and heater included

Option 3: Higher capacity Reversible

Option 4: Only found on an Oddball early industrial version of 2.8. Interesting appearance.

Want to give you all confirmation on the exhaust outlet adapter from Benzforce for the Non Doc turbine outlets.
I previously was running the DOC with a hacked up pipe but this really helps clean up space. The Benzforce V-Band Adapter perfectly fits and comes with the right clamp as well. I used it with the exhaust outlet PN 5259791.

Do you show any dip stick options for when running the aluminum oil pan (#5318048) other than dip stick 5343280?

id love to find a taller set up…

Here are the breakdowns I have found so far for the metal oil pan and dipstick. It looks like most are on the intake manifold side and the starter is on the exhaust side. The starter being on exhaust side makes sense why Cummins says mods are needed to fit to R2.8 Could always try to route it around the starter carefully. See option 3 for the way 5343280 is actually supposed to be routed.

Option1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4: Extremely short dipstick

I am not sure any of those are gonna be better than when I have, but what I do know is that was freaking awesome of you to even look and give me the suggestions! Thanks so much!

Heat shield option for those without the EGR. Notice the Turbo heat shield has a second bolt that attaches to turbine housing. That is not on my R2.8 so will just use one stud to hold it and see how that goes. This is from the F2.5 application but should work due to them using the same non-EGR manifold according to parts breakdown.

Manifold Heat Shield : 5585191
Manifold Flange Stud : 6313649 (5 Needed)
Nuts for Manifold Flange Stud: 3906216 ( 5 Needed)
Turbo Heat Shield: 5585514
Turbo Heat Shield Stud: 5585528
Turbo Stud Nut: 3900589

Here are some pics of the South American Ford application of the 2.8 I found recently that show the alternator bracket setup more clearly and the engine mounts.

Alternator wiring doesn't show up on Quickserve wiring diagrams for the R2.8 or any other variants. I really want my battery light on the dash to work and this is what i have found for the Tunland version of these engines. Would be great to hear thoughts on this working with our clusters. My plan is to wire it as indicated below.
