My pipes are totally rotted around the flex pipe joining the front end (the part coming off the manifold) and the central pipe.
any leads on where I can get new pipes? Everything i've seen says discontinued.
I am replacing the brake lines that go (from the 90 degree connector that links the flexible hose to hard line on the way to the front calipers on my bj74.
The hard line that I took off had a smooth end on the nut beyond the threads that holds the line in the connector. The new hard line...
Of course, after spending all day yesterday trying to find an example of my hub with the bolt instead of a snap ring and failing, I post here, get the right advice, and then IMMEDIATELY come across this video:
same set up.
Thanks for the suggestions. Worked like a charm. Just opened the other side and its the same deal, so it seems to be designed that way instead of using a snap ring.
Now I hav my caliper mounting bolts soaking in PB blaster and will tackle that next!
thanks again.
1986 BJ74
Warn manual locking front hubs
all the videos I've seen of these show a snap ring inside the cap of the warn hub. Mine does not appear to have one. It also has this 13mm bolt in the axel that appears to be covering a cap of some sort. I can't turn the bolt loose as turning the bolt...
I've done a lot of reading here and still don't really understand all of the different turbo configurations. At this point, I really just want to get my BJ74 13BT back on the road. My initial attempt with a Supra CT26 failed, so I'm going to go the Mamba Bolt on route. But there are lots of...
Looks like this isn't going to work. No reconfiguration of the housing will make it fit in there.
I am probably going to have to go more expensive here. Is this really as simple and a direct fit with none of the different turbine size problems associated with other options? People seem to like...
Yeah I'm in the camp of wanting something that works to replace my currently bad turbo. I did some reading here and found that lots have used this supra turbo (part numbers are cross-referenced) but it really does look backwards compared to mine now that its here. Hoping that maybe my local shop...
Sorry to have completely hijacked this thread MrBlue, but now that i have.....
if I swap in the Supra CT26 turbo is it safe to drive before adjusting the boost/fuel? I'll need to learn how to make those adjustments, but need to get back on the road.
cheers
thanks for that. this is my daily driver and not something I need high performance off-road from. What mod is needed on the supra CT26? I'm assuming the ports are backwards with respect to the RHD Bj74 setup?
superbrightleds.com is a great source for bulbs
and partsouq.com is a pretty good bet for most parts. also very reliable shipping to the US anyway....
let me know what you learn about turbo replacements. I'm struggling with that right now.
after lots of reading, it looks like some suggest that the turbo out the supra is that same fit. any thoughts on that? The part number (17201-58011) is cross-listed:

My 1986 13-BT has started making a new noise where the turbo sounds a bit like a muffled police siren. Its never made much noise at all until now.
Is this a sign that things are about to go sideways? If so, where can I find a replacement turbo? Partsouq doesn't even have the diagram, let...
