turbocharger for 3B toyota engine (1 Viewer)

[apdhillon]

I want some more power in my '84 BJ42. I was thinking a turbo charger would be nice but I want to know what my options are and more information about it.

Who provides turbo chargers for this engine? How difficult is the install? If I wanted a shop to do it for me where will be a reputable place?

TIA.

Toyota 3b Turbo kit

Here is a couple pics. The kit includes a new Garrett GT series turbo, a new Toyota 13bt exhaust manifold(with studs and gaskets),stainless steel teflon lined braided pressure and drain lines w, all correct fittings for proper service. Silicon hoses w,SS t-bolts for crossover. Machined adapter w/ all gaskets and hardware for connecting turbo to manifold,etc. If your interested give me a shout. I designed, built, and offer this kit for the members but i have been contacted by a couple dealers in regards to supplying them as exclusive vendors.

Im interested in some information. I just spent 3 days driving 10% grades in a semi loaded BJ60 and some extra power would make a huge difference. There were numerous times where I was wishing for a gear between 2nd and 3rd. Some extra power would make that situation a little easier. Im interested depending upon cost, etc...

Keith is the man with all of the kit. I am just helping him build the site. He and I worked a bunch on the kit with adjustment and tweaking and testing, but he has all of the sources lined up and machines the adapters.

We will post up something when the site is up.

Great, looking forward to getting more information. Im doing some reading right now as to the different kit options for more power.

I used to wish for the same (+ a gear between 3rd and 4th) until I installed the turbo.
Now I've got the power to hold the gears. Typically find I'm a gear up from pre-turbo. e.g. Hills that required a shift to 3rd are done in 4th.

That is what I NEED!

nice work Keith

any idea of what your website will be called once it goes up?
Some of us will be on the lookout. ...
would like more info. looks like your price is about $3000- 3500?

 

[Capitalguy]

I've just installed one of Keith's kits in my BJ70, works great. Not that difficult either, about a 2 banana job.

 

[tmarx]

Any plans for an intercooler kit ?

Im heading up to Colorado and the elevation is making me think about the turbo kit seriously. The power, stock, is fine for around here but I know that mountain passes and elevation will probably create issues.

I would be very careful in Colorado with a non turbo diesel. Last time I went there as a kid I pulled some crazy pass that was over 10k feet. I was in 2nd gear in my sidekick before we reached the summit. And yes it was a sidekick, as disgusting as that sounds. I still have nightmares...
If you don't turbo it, at least chuck a pyro on. Your egts could get just a tad high.

Thats what a Turboglide and AXT will set you back once it gets to your doorstep.
