Today's C8.3 is available in a wide range of ratings, from 185-260 hp. Heavy-duty standard features like the Holset HX40 turbocharger and pistons with Ni-Resist inserts make every C8.3 last longer, while customized options make every C8.3 work better in every kind of equipment and every kind of climate.
Getting the right combination to match your equipment, operating environment and workloads has never been easier. Cummins Advisor is ready to provide expert assistance with your installation process.

Cummins C8.3 has quietly improved, every year. Dual Ni-Resist piston inserts reduce friction, increase piston life and decrease oil consumption. The combustion chamber bowl, crank angle and helical gear have all been modified to help reduce noise. An in-line fuel pump delivers fuel at higher injection pressures for cleaner combustion, more power and lower emissions. The result is higher torque output from less fuel. And, because you can run a C8.3 on every kind of fuel from Jet-A to kerosene to diesel, it's right at home in the most remote locations.
