Hey guys, my wife’s been complaining about the smell every time she rides in the bj, and I’m tired of listening to her so I re-routed my crankcase vent. I didn’t think too hard about it while I was installing it, but now that I’m sitting here I’m questioning the new setup. What I’ve done is slip...

So i made a couple changes, i retarded my timing and modified my airbox until I can make a proper pipe that runs to the front of the bay, but for now it’ll work. Before I retarded the timing it was actually a little advanced from the mark, so the truck runs a fair bit different now. I can’t tell...

Thanks Steve. I’m working from home today, so I will be retarding the timing before I hit the highway this afternoon…will report back. After looking through your thread I also do suspect in having restriction issues at my factory air cleaners inlet. Time to get the grinder out!!

Hello everyone. I just moved up to a 3b in my bj40 (from a B) and I brought my turbo with me. This new engine seems to be in great shape, and I’d like to do everything in my power to increase its lifespan. Only thing I’ve played with so far is the fuel. I did on my B as well, and was always...

Hey there! I’m in need of some parts and will happily come take that engine off your hands :) I’ve got a hoist ready to go, I could even be there today. I’m out in saanich, got the day free. Feel free to text me at 260-516-3997. Or call!

Hey guys. Been chasing down issues with my fuel gauge in my 79 BJ40. A while back I was out wheeling and out of nowhere my fuel gauge started reading over full, and was just stuck there every time the truck was turned on. I pulled the sender and tested it- it seemed good, and I tried throwing a...

Hey guys. My 79 bj40’s fuel gauge just decided to stop working correctly while I was off-roading. The moment you power up everything the fuel gauge goes right up well past full. I’ve pulled the cluster and checked everything, it seems to be good. The truck is a 24volt, and I have checked the...

Hey everyone, I’ve recently completely a 4” lift on my 79 bj40. I went with a 4” leaf kit from skyjacker, bilstein 5125s and a rear extended shackle. Love the way the truck sits, but I’m now experiencing vibrations at high speeds, which I’m assuming is due to incorrect pinion angle. I’ve gone...

Hey y’all! I’m looking to find an older style bush bar like the one shown in these photos…SOR has discontinued it and I can’t seem to find anything else online that’s similar and available for purchase. Anyone got one lying around? Or something similar? I’m in VICTORIA, BC, Canada….very happy to...

Nevermind just saw the sold icon!

Hey there I know this is an ancient post but is this still available?

I’ve gone up and down playing with the fuel delivery. Currently, it peaks around 12-13psi. I’ve had it as high as 18, but temps were way too high and I figured that kind of boost was a little reckless. I’m mostly trying to get my egts down so I don’t need to watch them like a hawk while I’m on...

I’m sorry, are you suggesting I also need to retard my timing? Like after the turbo installation?

Would you happen to have any photos of your setup?
