Hey all, so I’m wondering if you can help? I’m Re-building a BJ43 at the moment, I’ve come to the ignition switch and PO had removed the barrel and fitted a push switch to start, I’ve purchased a new ignition barrel and the little electrical loom that fits onto the back of the ignition but I...

@Nz Nath thanks I’ve ordered that, I’m sure it’ll be a solid start, like you say it might even work out well for what I need, I’m going to do some more reading on turbo setups though and educate myself a bit more, “every day’s a school day” and I like to have a good understanding of what I’m...

@Nz Nath Ok cool I understand thanks, I had thought the inlet on the turbine looked extremely small, I believe about 40mm Diameter. Right HX30 It is then. There’s one for sale on eBay currently Compressor 40/69mm Turbine 52/65mm Turbine housing 6cm2 ( t3 single entry) V-band 3” Oil...

@Nz Nath Thanks, as it happens the he221w was the 5.5 version so I’ll scratch that. Just as a complete “wild card option” what do you know about the IHI RH4 VT16 turbo? I can’t find any specs on it anywhere, I only ask as I have two sat on the shelf with all the associated piping, they’re...

@Dougal @Nz Nath @myusername Hi Guys, So I’ve decided to ditch the CT26 Turbo, looking around on the inter web here are my alternative options, following your collective advice. TD04HL-19T seem readily available as cheap Chinese imports roughly £200 GBP HX30 seem to be the same story...

@Dougal Thanks for your advice, I think I will get rid of the CT26 design after all and probably look at something else such as you and @Nz Nath have suggested. Much appreciated

@myusername That’s great info on the steering setup, I’ll see why I can find, here in the UK 40’s & 70’s are like hens teeth and there aren’t many 60’s left now either, but I’ll see why I can find.

@Nz Nath Interesting stuff, like I say hadn’t given it a lot of thought at all, just figured the C26 was the like the “standard” upgrade as such. I like the twinscroll idea, Sod’s law I literally ordered the CT26 Last night 🤦‍♂️ Either way this will be my first exhaust manifold, so I might...

Hi @Nz Nath Tbh I hadn’t given it a great deal of thought, I’d seen a few other posts recommending the CT26 As a replacement, so I’d figured it was a safe option, not looking for huge power or anything stupid, MY thinking is that the 15bft will already be a Big improvement over the B motor...

@myusername thanks, I’ve literally just got her sat in place again now I’ve removed the left side battery mount frame altogether for now, and swapped the cast engine mount arms back to where they where on the B engine, it’s made everything sit a lot happier, I’ve modified the coaster sump to...

@Greek Cruiserhead Thanks I’ll do some digging, I’m sure it’s been said before but I’m sure it takes longer looking through parts numbers than it does to fit the engine.. 🤔

So I’ve managed to track down and order the smaller 14bt flywheel, For now I’ve bolted the the h41 with cast bell housing up to the 15bft and dropped it in the vehicle to try and figure out some of the plumbing. I’ve used the original mounts from the b engine as suggested, but I’ve had to swap...

@myusername @Nz Nath Thanks fellas, I’ve found the part number for the smaller diameter 8 bolt flywheel now and hopefully i can get one shipped out on Monday. Like you both suggest I think I’ll use the existing cast iron bell housing and go from there. 👍

Looking for a h55f manual transmission An 8 bolt 13bt / 14bt flywheel And an aluminium bell housing for b engine to h55f gearbox please
