6.2 Diesel Banks Turbo Hey, I don't know if anyone is interested, but out on eBay there is a fresh rebuilt 6.2L diesel with the Banks turbo setup. It is a complete engine, and "0" miles on the rebuild. The starting bid is $1500 dollars, and auction ends 6 days from today. I don't know what...

Brian, When you say carpet for $30.00, is from the firewall to the tailgate? If so, I would be interested if it doesn't have any spots worn through. Thanks. --Thaddeus

Frankenstein 6.2/6.5 Thanks for the input torfab! I did leave some details out relative to my build-up. I have a friend who is an engineer that has a BT4 wedged into an early '70s Satellite that he turbocharged. Its a great engine, and he is getting around 20mpgs, but I still think the GM...

I'm a newbie to the forum. Just joined a few days ago, but I have been following for awhile. I am also doing a 6.2L diesel conversion into an FJ80, and I was wondering about your project. Did you get your turbo installed? Also, I was wondering if you used the Marks adapter with the A440F...

Rusty, I followed your posts earlier this year and I was quite impressed with your journaling of the process of the engine swap. I was sorry to hear that you sold the vehicle. I would concur with you that a 6.2L with the Banks turbo would probably be the best setup if you can come...

IRISH52084, There is a lot to consider when planning an engine swap. My original plan was to put a 6.2L into an FJ62, but I came across a really clean FJ80 and decided to upgrade. I did a lot of research before proceeding and a ’91-’93 6.2L diesel is the best option. You...

6.2L GM diesel into FJ80 / Turbo crossover pipe Hello Everyone! I'm a newbie and I hope I am not highjacking the thread. I've been lurking on your site for about 6 months now and I was so impressed I decided I had to join. I am working on a long-term project, which is now at the mid-point of...
